Ultra-Soft Flex Sleeves question

[azian]

Hey guys,

I just got my e2c a couple days ago and I am happy with them except for the comfort level. I am planning on ordering the ultra-soft flex sleeves but I'm not sure which size I should order. I'm currently using the small sleeves that come with the e2c. But I had the sony's mdr-ex71 and I used the medium pairs. Does anyone have any opinions about the size of the sleeves?

Shure sells a package that has the s,m, and L sleeves, for $7 (i think) So you dont have to order like 5 pairs of one size.

Yeah I know but I would sort of feel its a waste since I know I won't use the two large pairs. I know its only like 2 bucks but I'd rather just buy the 10 pair pack that way I'll know all the pairs will go to use. For the people that have the soft sleeves do you guys use the same size for the soft as you did with the ones that came with the e2c?

I used the small flex sleeves with my e2. I got the small soft sleeves from the groupbuy. When I first tried it on, the small felt like it was too small and might not make a good seal. After using it for a while, I always gotten a good seal so I ended up not buying a pack of meds. It felt like it was at the border line of not making a good seal with the the small so I would advise you to get the assorted pack(S, M, L).

If you are only going to get one, I'd go with the mediums. I used the small tips on the ex71s and small foamies, but found the medium ultra-softs fit me well. The e2c's need stability to stay in your ear than the 71's (well, mine did at least), so if you get ones that are too small, they will fall out of your ear. I got an assorted pack and ended up using the mediums only. You might be fine with the smalls, but the mediums might be a safer bet, imo.
