A pair of comply tips should last you for 3 weeks if you use it daily. Thats why customs ear moulds are more cost efficient in the long run. |

People call me things like nuts, crazy and insane, I just tell them I am very serious when it comes to my hobbies. What the mind can conceive and believe, it can achieve. The most important thing in this hobby, sit down with a nice drink and enjoy the music. =] | |

C'mon crusie,why settle for just the UM56? CNY is like less than 3 months away and if you start saving now i'm sure the ES2 is within your grasp! There won't ever be a need for the soft flex sleeve too. Cheers |

ES2 likely, maybe one year later.. when my ear has matured and went outta e box to go custom.. as of now, i need to stick on strict budget (sounds like strict diet.. lols) and focus on building my home rig.. |

Daily run, apprx 1mth per pair if I stretch the envelope a little. Gosh, that's a little fast for wearing out tips ain't it? |

I have used a set of complys for over a month, with occasional rinse and dry. But I'm also finding them too troublesome to squeeze and insert so mostly using biflange now. I've got 6 sets of brand new complys just sitting there cuz I'm too lazy to squeeze and insert. |

Earlier might had bumped into some of u when I went over earlier on in the evening.
It sounds strange, but my UM1s sound better at home than it was at Jaben's. Hmm... The sealing really plays a big part I guess. Using the harder silicon tips and its perfect for my horribly huge ear canals. Tried the UM2s as well, but oh well.... No go yet. It IS good no doubt, but I'm not mentally prepared to bust $400 buckaroos on a pair of earphones... yet. Stick with my UM1s first. Custom tips, might come into the show later though... much, much later. Thanks to u guys who are there earlier!
