Hi everyone

I own some Westone UM3x earphones which I've been using every day for three years. They're just about perfect with the Comply foam tips that I've always used but I fancy a change and was wondering what alternatives are available?

Both foam and rubber tip options would be considered.

I just bought the UM30 Pros -- and use the True-Fit tips (I use the blue ones) --- I like them a lot more than the Comply's. The foam seems sturdier -- and the tip doesn't collapse when I put them in my ears (the Comply's will do that and I have to sort of adjust them to get a nice flow of sound going)... I haven't found a down side to the True-Fit's yet...

The nice thing about the Westones is that they will take a large variety of tips. IEM tips are an incredibly personal choice. Some people love triple flange tips, others absolutely hate them. I prefer foam tips, with the Comply and the Shure black foam being my two favorites.

Have you thought about Custom tips or adapters that would fit onto your UM earphones?

Custom tips?

Hmmm, I hadn't considered those before. Do you know how much they cost?
