Interesting discussion.
Does anyone know of good foamies that will work with Vibes with no alterations?
I heard Super.fi 5's and Shure e2c foamies will work?
Does anyone know if the new Shure black foamies will work with the Vibes?
Here's something the V-Moda rep on this thread will be entertained by: I went to the Apple Store here in San Francisco to look for foam tips that would fit my Vibes. I was looking at the Shures, next to the Vibes, and a saleslady comes up to me and sees I'm wearing the Vibes and asks how I like them, she asks for a review. So I start in telling her like the 50 pages of material on this thread. heh. She steps back for a moment, I think a bit shocked or something. Then I say in sum I really like the Vibes, but I wish they came with some foam tips, and do you sell the Shure foam tips?
Her reply: "No, we don't sell Shure foam tips separately. But, thats why I recommend people buy the Shures instead of the Vibes when they ask me: because the Shures come with the foam tips."
I try to tell her hey thats kinda irrelevant because you can get tips for a few bucks each, why base your iem decision on what tips it comes with, but she is not buying it. And the funny thing is: many people walking in there see her as an expert on it, and they will listen to her recommendations...
What? Well, anyway: Hello, V-Moda, . . . are you hearing this????
There's so many Vibes out there now, I think some company could make some money by making some Shure-type black foamies for the Vibes in various sizes...
In the meantime: Any other contenders for good Vibe foamies that will work off the rack?
