Hey, I just got a pair of Shure SE425s recently, and I'm really bothered by all the universal plugs.  They've all made my ear sore, so I'm going to get a pair of custom molds.  I'm debating between the Sensaphincs and the Westone UM56.  Can anybody weigh in on the two?  I hear that the Sensaphonics provide the best seal and most comfort, plus they are recommended by Shure.  Is this true?  Can people share their experiences with either one?  Thanks in advance!​

Obviously I'm biased, but for comfort, seal and isolation, the soft silicone Sensaphonics sleeves for Shure SE Series are the way to go. They also fit the entire SE line, so if you upgrade to the 535 down the line, the sleeves can move up with you. Sensaphonics sleeves also form a much more secure physical connection to the earphone by comparison -- just look at the designs.
