UE superfi with customs, good idea?

[Stereo_Electronics 0]

Due to overwhelming response to superfi custom ear moulds, I have consolidated all my questions to both Westone who do ear moulds for quite a few company like Shure,Etymotic, Sennheiser, futuresonics, many others and Ultimate ears themselves.

 

Apparently, it is not recommended by both.

 

Both responsed with almost the same answer, the Ultimate ears "Superfi" series are not designed to fit on any custom earmoulds.

 

But I'm sure there are people out there who have did it and may have liked it, so again it's all up to you.

I remembered seeing a custom mold for the superfi.5pro at Head-fi where the whole IEM is in a mould, definitely not the um56 by Westone but by some other companies.

Hmmm I didn't know Westone is the one making moulds for Sensaphonics? I thought Sensaphonics has alliance with Elacin Netherlands Company. Also I thought Sensaphonics is the one making moulds for Shure. I just ordered from Sensaphonics, Shure E500 Custom Sleeves.

Why not just use the UE SF Universal fit series Double Sleeved Flange? Its got pretty good isolation IMHO.
