Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Comply Tx-400 Foam Tips w/ Integrated Wax-Guard (Black) 3-Pair PackCustomer Review: solid sure sound, but generic unsure fit to earbud Summary: 5 Stars
. other reviewers of Comply foam complained of deterioration,
and, this reminded me that
skin oils can be very corrosive to certain foams;
[11.14: so, my first pair got lubed with a stable food-grade grease
like plumbers silicone grease
but I later wondered if that was healthy for topical application
and have sinced used zinc oxide ointment as a grease . ]
[11.6: however,
a problem I've had with that approach,
is that if the grease saturates the inner tube or gets inside,
this tip will often pop off in my ear ...
AND, the reason this can happen so easily,
is that tube doesn't fit exactly:
instead of having a sharp lip to hold the earbud
like the original tips do,
this tip has only a straight-walled tube,
[11.14: or slightly more narrowed at the end by heat-warping]
so that the fit is purely by friction . ]
[11.14: using heat to form a connecting lip:
. I was able to form a gripping lip on the tip's base
by pulling the foam back a bit (it ignites easily)
and applying a lighter flame that melts the inner tube
thereby creating a rounded narrowing
that better fits my sony mdr-nc22 tip holders .
. set the melted tube on something it will not adhere while cooling
and this will make the lip even more hook-shaped .
]
. another foam-preserving technique
is finding a way to keep buds from being yanked out;
for this I use Custom Molded Earplugs
(a 2-part plastic that you mix
and it hardens to fit your ear);
but be careful about over-packing or getting it into vents .
. be conservative about how tight the buds are pressed against your ear,
because that's where they are going to stay for hours!
. might also consider antibiotic ointment with chronic in-ear plugs;
but, not sure how that will affect the foam .
[11.6: sound muffled at times:
. moving jaw can sometimes block sound?
try clipping tip back to the wax-guard
(to the edge of the inner rubber tube);
[11.14:
. or, try clipping the base to make it shorter,
and retighten the base using the flame method described above .
]
. this works for my configuration,
but then it could be
that the bud would then only stay in place
if you're using custom molded ear plugs around the bud . ]
