New Tips?

[mac n cheese]

I have the JVC Marshmellow headphones and i enjoy them very much, but i have read about people using different tips on the headphones. i was wondering what difference the tips make and what company is the best.

For me the biggest difference is probably comfort. I bought an Ultimate Ears variety pack. I have not tried the Shure tips.

Does anyone else have an opinion that might help me?

Comply makes the best foamies (IMO), but they get ugly pretty fast. Shure "Olives" are excellent as well, and last a lot longer.

For silicon tips the Ultimate Ears ones are really nice.

I am currently using some Shure (orange) E2 foamies, and they seem pretty decent.

One thing about the silicon ones that I do prefer though, is that they seat much quicker. In other words, I hate waiting for the foamies to expand to fill the void...err...my earholes. Granted, it's a minor issue, but if I need to remove them and then put them back several times, due to the need to chat at work while wearing them...well...kinda annoying. I often switch to earbuds (Gumy's ATM), when it bugs me too much...hehe. The silicon ones are "push in, done."

I snagged these Shure foams, mainly because I could get them at a local guitar shop as individual pairs (or singles, if I really wanted) - not GC, as they would only sell them in the 10 or 20 pair bag - and try them before buying a whole pack of 10 or 20...kinda nice to evaluate them that way, IMO. I snagged 2 pair of them, supposedly different sizes, but both E2 orange, but honestly I don't think I can tell the difference between them...ha!

At any rate, they work so much better for me, than the stock tip on the Marshmallows. I could never get those to seat well...leading to no bass. Now, it's borderline boomy...hehe.
