I want to know everything that everyone here at this forum has to say about these things. I'm sure most of you have had some sort of experience with them, so I want you to share with me.

If it is not too much of a big deal, I would like to know your first hand experiences, opinions, preferences, and where I could possible get them for the cheapest price?

Have you done any mods with them and what were the results?

I'm sorry if this sounds like a survey, but I'm kinda fascinated by these things and want to get a good idea about them before I buy them.

Feel free to post about anything that you may like..There, I'm done rambling about tri-flanges.

i use them on my shure e5c and i find them to be the best tip for the job, the bass is enhanced (not to much though) and it all sounds just ....better!

at first i couldnt get the damned things in and found them uncomfortable but quickly got used to them

 

[Sean.Perrin]

They are excellent on my Ety ER4Ps.

 

[feh1325]

some people like em because they last very long, compared to foamies
some people trim off the staulks and or smallest tip to make a biflange

 

[camille]

i didn't think they were that great. uncomfortable and hard to insert, and what really put me off was that they always got stuck in my ear canal when i removed them, but not shure sleeves or foamies...

granted they do last longer than foamies.

 

[jules650]

Trimmed the smallest tip for use on my e4gs but I still prefer the medium clear sleeves.

 

[riffjaff]

Is there a difference between the Shure and Etymotic tri flange sleeves?

Which one is better and why?

 

[VicAjax]

i love the feel of inserting a brand-new tri-flange deep into my ear canal.


is there something wrong with me?

 

[riffjaff]

well there's a pretty good deal on ebay if you are interested, which is why I asked the previous question.

The etymotic tri flanges are being sold for $13 for 5 pairs.
The shure tri flanges are being sold for $8 for 3 pairs.

They both have free worldwide shipping.

I just posted something about how they hurt my ear like 20 mins ago.

 

[riffjaff]

yeah i read that. That really sucks. I think people have a sort of love-hate relationship with them. I hope your ear gets better.
