Westone NOTE: These Shure tips are the same tips included in the tip pack with Westone 4 earphones. You only get 1 pair in the Westone pack and they do not offer a replacement for just these tips. You must pay over $20 for the pack and you only get a single set of these tips.

REVIEW:

These tips worked better for me than any of the other style tips I've tried. But don't be fooled by reviews; ALL EARS ARE DIFFERENT!!! Try them all and use what works for you. If this style works best, USE IT!

As a triple flange tip goes this tip has pros and cons.

Pros: The stem on this tip is longer than most tips which gives you the ability to push it deeper into the ear canal if you need to. Also, the stem opening is smaller than most so it fits much tighter on the earphone's stem making it less likely to come off the earphone and stay lodged in your ear when you try to take them out of your ears.

Cons: Being a stiffer rubber than some of the other tips, it tends to have more of a 'memory' and starts to retain the shape of the ear canal fairly quickly. Over time, this memory prevents the tip from 'spreading out' and it therefore loses the sealing ability that it had.

FIX: I decided to try something after each use and I have gotten spectacular results. After each use (used for in-ear monitors during rehearsals and shows), I wash them and then flip the large and middle flange up and leave it until the next use. This resets the memory they tend to develop and even spreads the flange out a little more. I get an even better seal after using this method than I did on the brand new pair! They are lasting a long time now--four months and still sealing tight!

Buy EATFL1-6 Triple Flange Sleeves for SE model earphones (except SE102MPA), SCL3, SCL4, SCL5, E3c, E4c Now

I recently purchased a pair of Shure SE215's. They have an awesome sound but I could not get a proper seal

with the included buds. I even tried the Comply buds, but even they would not seal properly for me. My Shures did not include these sleeves so I thought I'd buy a set to give them a try. I thought they were a bust at first, extremely uncomfortable. I tried clipping the top flange off and this made them perfect. The seal never breaks and I can lay on my side in comfort while in bed. I also get the best sound isolation with these sleeves. All in all I am a happy camper.

There are significant differences between these and the original triple flange sleeves that come with some Shure's(my E5c pair came with some). It seems like these are made of white rubber rather than the original opaque silicone pair. This has the effect of them being much more rigid and less conforming to the ear canal than before. Also, the flanges themselves are much smaller than the originals. The middle flange on these is approximately the same size as the smallest flange on the older pairs, which in my case, causes the new ones to be unable to create a good seal whatsoever. Even if it did it would still fall out much easier than the original triple flange sleeves, and one of the best features of the flange design in general is that they should stay put fairly well. Perhaps these would be good for people who like their triple flange sleeves but always thought they were too big or too soft. Or perhaps my ear canals are unusual in that they don't allow a good seal (although the originals sealed well). Either way, do not an exact replacement of the sleeves that came with your phonesthese are completely different and should not be marketed as replacements.

Want EATFL1-6 Triple Flange Sleeves for SE model earphones (except SE102MPA), SCL3, SCL4, SCL5, E3c, E4c Discount?

For years I accepted a less than stellar bass performance from earphones when compared with over-ear headphones. On a whim, I purchased a set of Shure SE425 which featured a number of different ear sleeves. Going with the standard silicone sleeves, I was dismayed to realise that the sound quality of the earphones to be not that much better than the cheap earphones that I had picked up to replace the white earbuds that were bundled with my iPod.

Fast forward a couple of weeks and just out of curiousity, I swapped out the silicone sleeves and replaced them with the triple flange sleeves and I noticed an immediate improvement. Better bass response and almost complete noise isolation gave a much better soundstage. Now I have swapped out the sleeves of all my earphones and use the triple flanged sleeves exclusively (provided they fit).

Highly recommended.

The triple flange sleeves for the Shure SE earphones are, in my opinion, the way to go for earbuds/phones. The design of the flange works exactly as intended (well, as how I assume it's intended): different size ears are no longer an issue (barring either enormous ears or tiny ears) b/c of the "tiered" cushioning; have bigger ears than "average"? No big deal, the earphones just go in further; have smaller ears than "average"? No problem, the earphones just don't go in as far. Very comfortable, and that really allows a greater level of enjoyment due to the fact that that comfort is being combined w/ great sound quality. Definitely worth the money.
