dennis28288 0 Report post Posted December 22, 2008 Me and my friend will be making custom ear molds for our earphones from westone. According to stereo, it is possible to share shipping if we can send together. As of the last time i went to stereo shipping by fedex cost 100 for the trip there and back. If more were to share, cost of shipping will go down to by quite a large margin as compared to paying the full 100 for 1 set of molds. Interested parties, please pm me.

I started this thread to find someone to share the shipping for our earmolds, not really to discuss about them... what peanut butter jam meant was to start another thread on the portables section so that people can talk about them. Thanks to heady anyway for the good intentions and quick reaction. Not much of an issue though cos i can easily start another one to look for people wanting to get the molds. to stephan, yes there is and its from westone too, so u can participate if u are interested.

Guest dragonboy Report post Posted December 26, 2008 (edited) Bro, sorry that I hijack you thread. I wanted to but they don't have it for shure..I want to do i for a Shure SE530 You can only fit custom sleeves on to the Shure SE530. Which means you go an audiologist to make an ear impression.... a process which they put material like soft clay into your ears and wait for it to solidify and you'll get YOUR ear impression. But before you have your impression done, you have to decide which brand of custom sleeves you're going for. The ACS custom sleeves uses soft silicon, very flexible and soft, comfortable.... but you'll need to let the audiologist know that you need it to be a close-jaw impression. For Westone custom sleeves, hard vinyl, harder, doesn't wrap the SE-530, you need to make a open-jaw impression. In simple terms custom sleeves are like a cover custom to your ears hence better seal, isolation, comfort also means better soundquality at lower volume. I had my ACS T1 done at stereo by Teng. You can check with him or aron. They'll be happy to answer your queries. Edited December 26, 2008 by dragonboy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
