Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Comply T-500 Foam Tips - 3 Pair PackCustomer Review: More sizes available at www.complyfoam.com Summary: 4 Stars
I used the pair of Comply foam tips that came with my Ultimate Ears TripleFi 10 on my 12-hour flight.
The sound isolation is amazing. I also used a pair of foam ear plugs that I bought at a drug store. To my surprise, the TripleFi/Comply combination works to block noise slightly better than the foam ear plugs. Compared to my Sennheiser PX450, which is an over-the-ears active noise canceling headphone, the TripleFi/Comply blocks more mid range noise so that I can't hear people taling, while the Sennheiser seems to block more low frequency noise from the airplane. For best noise reduction when I am not listening to a movie, I would use ear plugs under the Sennheiser PX450.
In terms of comfort or discomfort, the TripleFi/Comply combination is just slightly worse than the foam ear plugs. The medium size foam that came with the TripleFi probably fits my ears a bit too tight. Half way through my 12-hour flight, I started to feel pain in my ear canal. In contrast, the Sennheiser PX450 is quite comfortable and I had no problem wearing it for a long time. When my current pair of Comply foams wear out, I will order the small size tips from Comply's website: [...]. Amazon only sells the medium size, and many people mistake it as one-size-fits-all, which is not the case.
Which headphone will I bring on my next trip? They are similar in terms of noise reduction. The TripleFi plays louder and has slightly better sound quality. The PX450 is bulkier, more comfortable, and is easier to put on and take off the head (compared to inserting the TripleFi into the ear canal). I guess I will take the PX450 for longer trips and the TripleFi for trips that are under 5-6 hours.
Description of Comply T-500 Foam Tips - 3 Pair PackComply Foam Tips are a premium earphone upgrade that comfortably seal the ear canal to provide high levels of noise isolation and retention. They are made from unique breathable memory foam that is activated by body heat and becomes ultra soft, reducing irritation and fatigue. Once inside the ear, this foam will expand to create a seal, funneling pure sound into the ear canal, enhancing the listening experience. The comfortable seal allows music to be enjoyed without raising the volume level to compensate for external noise. Comply T-500 tips are compatible with the following earphone models: Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 3 Studio, Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 (new), Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 Pro, Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 5 EB, Ultimate Ears Triple.Fi 10 Pro [ For complete compatibility listing go to www.complyfoam.com ]
