Paiseh, $42 should be Cresyn E630..... Panasonic HJE-50 is $55, definitely not the cheapest but also not expensive too. :s7:

So you get to try on the triflange first before converting them. At lot of ppl have the perception that more flange = more isolation. But that is really not the case. It depends a lot on the shape of your ears and how the tip can conform and seal it. Most people will find the biflange a better choice for use on Westones.

And they're not easy to get. Where can i buy biflanges? I only know Etymotic selling biflanges but where stocks them? I dunno so i use triflanges. :o

stereo electronics now has Ety's bi & tri-flanges

i tried the both of them for my um1...ended up getting the tri-flanges as it offers better isolation n fits my ears better

I see. Stereo ones are converted triflanges or 5 pairs of Ety biflanges in a pack?

So whats the difference in terms of sound quality between biflange, triflange and biflange modified from triflange tips? also how does the shure soft flex affects the sound?

I am using a Cresyn E630 now and is looking for eartips that will give me better isolation, any recommendations?
