I purchased a pack of Medium Comply T-500 tips for my beloved Skullcandy Heavy Medal, well beloved until I but Sennheiser (oh no not again) IE-80 or Shure SE 535 or something similar.
There was a pair of Memory Foam Tip included, albeit one and I correctly guessed they were MEDIUM tips lol. I had initially assumed these WERE Comply and looked very much like many photo I have seen of them with their shape, look and patchwork quilt look alternating from matt, porous and shiny surface textures.
I suspect it might be the shiny bits that are key to how they sound but what surprised me was that I expected these to both FEEL the same as the included ones as well as SOUND the same. On the former I was correct in my assumptions but on the latter I was rather shockingly way off the mark!
Basically I HAD to turn the volume down on my Fiio E7 from the usual 42-45 level to around 35-38 and it was on 35 for hours before I upped it a little ... err then dropped it after a track or two, lmao.
Yes they really do improve the sound and I must say that I am very pleased to have my doubts on what I had read previously well and truly quashed!
I have also had many thoughts in the last couple of days wondering if there are a better pair, noise isolation is better than included pair but I can still hear, and what they would sound like on better headphones that have bigger drivers, a la Sennheiser IE80, or MORE drivers, a la Shure SE 425 or 535?!
Oh dear! I will think I will wait a month before deciding whether I want to go down that road of finding out?!
Also in the pictures provided you can see that the back of the pack shows you compatible headphones but PLEASE NOTE mine are not on it?! LMAO. So just because yours are not there do not assume they will not fit!
PLEASE NOTE THAT THE GREY PAIR ARE NOT COMPLY! LMAO!
