I just bought a pair of used UM2's and so I'll need to invest in a few tips to see what suits my ears, both in fit and musically. I'm using comply long/standard sized tips right now and they fit great and sounds good too!
With other IEM's i've preferred the rubber tips, however, but I'm interested in how they would effect the sound on these before I go buy a bunch. When I first began using them I thought they could use a bit more bass, but I'm starting to get used to it now. I was used to Super.fi 5's, but these are a bit different.
I really like the mids and highs on these, especially compared with the Super.fi's. They are much more detailed with more distinct highs and less "veil", I feel. Bass is different too. It doesn't feel as impactful, nor as punchy but it is also less sloppy and bloated. It's there, oh yes, but as of yet I'm not sure which sound is my favorite in this department!
The highs and mids are a clear nod to the UM2s.
Oh and whomever said these were comfortable wasn't kidding! They fit *in* your outer ear, and rest in the cartilage, putting very little strain on the ear canals. And they isolate a LOT.
