I was about to discuss exactly the same thing.. How do you solve problem like complys... They indeed completely remove the quantity and texture from their highs. Also it seems to me that the bass impact softens with complys. On the other hand I find the isolation of the silicone tips very poor, almost as bad as IE8. In fact I cant understand one thing - they have the same tips and the nozzle as my super.fi 5 pro, also their shape is fairly similar. But the sf5pro isolation is top, the best I've had from IEM's. Any idea?

One of the reasons I adore UE is because I love the clarity and detail of their highs, and the Comply tips totally take away that special UE sparkle. They still sound good, but not really like UE phones anymore. True, there is a lot more bass with the tips but I personally find it to be a little too muddy - the TF10's do an amazing job with clear, punch bass that doesn't muddle with the upper ranges, and the foam tips sort of negate that. The fit is about the same for me (I guess I'm one of those lucky ones that fit the stock UE tips pretty well?), although I will admit they are a lot more comfortable than the silicone tips. |
