The EX-300 and EX500 earphones come with three. They're called "hybrid" by Sony because of a double-layered hard and soft-shell construction to ensure a bubble-like seal around the ear canal. And to take some of the guess work out of the selection process, Sony tips--providing they're official, Sony-made tips--are color-coded on the inside (you can match them up with a color-graded chart on the back of the package). The other primary route taken by audiophiles using IEM phones (in ear monitors) is Comply Foam Tips. Sony, however, explicitly recommends using their silicone hybrid tips, at least with Sony phones, rather than foam. Although I have found foam preferable in a few instances (Altec Titanium earphones, for instances), I'm convinced Sony tips work best with Sony phones, which...

I recently purchased a pair of Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10s, and was having issues with the earbuds - no matter which tips I tried, my ears hurt (the 'rim' of the ear canal) after 30 minutes to an hour of listening. On recommendation from a friend (he recently bought these to go on his Sennheiser IE8s), and after verifying they fit the Triple.Fis, I ordered a pack. My initial impressions were very good - the inner core of the buds are considerably stronger than the Ultimate Ears, and the outside (the 'flange'?) are considerably thinner and more pliable, without seeming cheap. They fit like a dream - I went from being conscious of having canalphones in with the old tips (fiddling with them every couple of minutes) to not noticing them *at all* with the Sony tips. Sound quality is very similar, although (for some reason) there is noticeably more bass with these tips. Not an unpleasant amount - it just seems to bring it up in the...

I've always had to readjust the tips because they would either come loose or not provide the perfect seal. It was a nuisance to say the least. I just couldn't get the right fit from any of the tips that those earphones shipped with.Thanks to these tips by Sony, the sound experience with my earphones has improved a lot. The seal I got was perfect (I used the largest size ear tips) and the earphones stay snug in my ear for the duration I wear them (and I've worn them for over 3 hours straight multiple times). Before, I couldn't go 10 minutes without having to readjust them. The trick I think to these are that the tips are made of a rubber-type material that is much more pliable and slimmer than the one that shipped with the ultimate ears. This lets the tips really form to your ears and create a solid seal. Furthermore, I noticed that the sound isolation was much improved with these over the... Read more |
