Now I just know that I've seen everything :blink: :D

When I saw this, I knew I just have to "borrow" them for a photoshoot. Looks as ugly as sin, but I do wonder how they sound. Needless to say, it doesn't fit me very well :P

The lengths some guys go to just amaze me :P

WOW...you must really love the OVCs so much to the extent of investing moulds in them!

How do you like their sound?

I don't find it that crazy...

The owner probably really loves the sound of the TC20. You know like when you prefer a cheap $40 earphone over an E500? To the owner, good for you! :)

Hmmmm looks like a speckled jellyfish

Can fully understand the owners love for the TC20's though :HD600smile: I myself would have swapped out that troublesome cable at the same time though

Good work!

I think if we could insert UE Flanges into the OVC and given another soft earmold, it should not give much of a problem.
If impressing/being impressed is how it gets you around, forget it. It is not gonna happen.

Amazing! I know this is a bit break of the rules but can anyone give me just, some tips on getting it done?

I did love to get OVC T20's but my ear has a bigger canal which, the ear tips came with it do isolate but not doing so much of a good job compared to UM1 comply tips. If only, I can fit comply tips or something onto them.

Shed some light on this, anyone?

You can fit the complys and Shure yellow foamies over the TC20 if you so desire. The trick is to remove the inner plastic sleeve by carefully pulling it out with a pair of needle nose pliers. Once to have done that you can coax the tips onto the TC20’s

The only problem I found during testing is that the foams don’t sit as securely onto the TC20 housing as I would like. Perhaps a dab of removable glue would help. I have also tried a modified Etymotic bi-flange which also fits quite nicely but although the ear seal was very good the sound lost a fair amount of clarity possibly due to the smaller diameter openings on the Etymotic tips.

I find the UE biflange works very well with the TC20, mainly because my ear canals are pretty big. Of all the custom earmolds made at Jaben, I have yet to see anyone that has ear canals as big as mine. :lol: :lol:
