I'm interested what tips fellow Westone UM1 owners are using???

Thanks in advance

Medium size Shure soft flex.

I use the smaller size complys. For me, they are the most comfortable yet still have great isolation. Im really happy with my UM1's-I love the fit (people looking at me straight on usually have no idea Im even wearing headphones, and the behind the head/back cord stays out of the way) and the sound is great!

Im using the tri-flanges with the stem and the smallest section cut off. They fit very nicely for me, and are surprisingly easy to put in.

 

[PixelSquish]

the short comply tips. which reminds me, i have to order some more.

So far for me, I like the short complys but will try the standards as well... Since the tri flanges were free, I cut the largest on and stem and they fit better (dont stick out as much) but the isolation is not as goos imo than the complys...

I use the short complys instead of the long ones. The long one sticks out way too much, makes me look like i'm wearing hearing aids or something.

BTW, what are good sites to order short comply tips?

 

[fruit_bearer]

I use the triflanges, with the smallest flange and some of the stalk cut off. It's not as good as the comfy comply tips, but at least these won't require replacing.

Anyone know how long the comply tips usually last?

It sort of says it in the manual I got with the UM1's...

Can't you cut the standard ones down a bit so that there the same as the short complys?

I use biflange (Triflange with its smallest flange snip off and stem shorten) and Shure's grey soft flex.

I was thinking about cutting it myself but i'm trying to figure out what tool to use to cut it cleanly. Any good ideas?

Not to hi-jack, but can you guys still hear people talking to you with the um1s in? (w/o music on)

With the complys in, it was close...
