Headphone/Earphone Sightings

[radioactive28 0]

Just wondering, but has anyone noticed people wearing UM1s with cables straight down, normal earbud-style? The module isn't sitting in the ear, it's sticking out and looks weird.

 

I've always felt like asking these people if they know it's not meant to be worn that way.

there is no such thing as wearing IEMs the correct or wrong way

I suppose you're right, but a recommended way?

The long complys and tri-flanges probably make it possible to get a good seal, but still... IMO, it's pretty glaring and I needed to get the thought out of me.

Let people be, I guess.

Hi I'm new here. Don't mind me asking but what are complys? Just started with e2s so not too good with the earbud stuff. Btw are custom earmoulds good?

Complys are soft, sponge-like eartips that would give the user better seal because if worn correctly, complys expand to fill the earholes, keeping out ambient noise. However, complys by virtue of their "mouldability", lose elasticity over time, requiring the user to replace them once every one or two months depending on usage. They aren't exactly cheap too.

 

Custom earmoulds? If you're talking about custom eartips like the UM56 from Westone, these would be the best eartips you can get because of the perfect fit. If you're referring to custom IEMs, these are different beasts altogether. Probably the highest-end IEM you can buy with money

Thanks for the reply. Complys are those found on UM1? While the custom IEMs are the highest end Westone IEMs is it?

[Audio Fidelity 0]

Yes. Complys are those found on the UM1 like this

 

 

The custom IEM from Westone is the Elite series that provide an exact fit to your ear which need your ears

 

impressions to be made in order to build your custom monitors.

u guys are so lucks. i nv seen anyone wearing those high end IEMs. most are IPork Ibutts and sony earbuds. there was this cheena looking at me the other days at city hall wen i was trying to fit my UEs into my ear. they were like"OMG! he is going to tear his ears up!"

[nofing 0]

Haha..I also seldom see people wearing decent IEMs. Maybe it's because I don't walk around town much. It' s usually school then back home maybe pop by Jaben in between. I guess the Cheena never saw such cool IEMs before. Then again UEs have some of the bigger sized buds. Looks rather imtimidating for first timers. Lol. When I wear my ck9 on the train or bus no one really bothers.
