Shure EATFL1-6 Triple Flange Sleeves for SE Earphones, 6 Pieces

I've tried all Shure's earbuds in all their variations and sizes and, for me, these are the best fit by a country mile, as they provide the best comfort and sound isolation. I cut off the smallest of the 3 cones for a better fit. It's also worth watching the short video clips on YouTube of how to fit Shure earbuds properly. In a nutshell, reach round the back of your head with your opposite hand and pull your ear back and up before inserting. It does make a massive difference!

Aside from the price these were perfect for me. I'm using SE215 IEMs and couldn't get any of the stock tips to work comfortably and had quite a lot of trouble quickly putting them in well enough to properly isolate sound live. Used these tips live for the first time and was so much better than the stock foam ones! After using ear-plugs live for so long these tips were so much easier to comfortably switch over to. Highly recommend if you're in a similar position!

Amazing isolation (much better than the stock tips) but there is an alarming loss of treble due to the long soft tube. I am an audio engineer and I A/B'd them with the old grey tips, there is definitely a noticeable rolloff from about 5KHz upwards, no fizz or "air", just sounds a bit dull :( . As others have commented, these are a better fit for medium to large ears with the smallest flange cut off, and they work just as well as a double flange plug as it is the outer two that do all the work. However, cutting that last 1/3 off also gets you some of the top end back, so I can highly recommend you do this. No good for critical listening purposes but great for public transport where you want to get rid of other people's noise.

As a drummer having used very similar type ('xmas tree' ) of ear plug defenders before, these were an obvious choice when in came to isolation with IEMs. You need to be comfortable pushing them into your ear canal and once in they fit very snugly and imo snuggly too! They never fall out once in and do an excellent job. I have also given a pair to our bass player which he said were much better than the provided foam style buds with his IEM's. There are 3 pairs in a pack which is good value.

Using these with my Shure 425 headphones has taken the already excellent sound to the next level. The one area the Shure's are lacking in is with Bass. These improve the bass response and therefore make the music more enjoyable. They will not be for everyone as they do fit very deeply into the ear canal. I found it took a couple of uses before they felt comfortable, but now I find them far more comfortable and secure than regular ear tips, just remember not to yank them out quickly. The only other negative is the cost. Not an issue for me as they are so good and they do seem to last for a long time and can be easily cleaned.

Good fit but they deform very quickly. Sound great but they just don't last

Recently picked up a pair of Shure SE215s and couldn't get on with any of the included tips. Unfortunately, the 215s don't come with these flange tips, but I thought I'd buy a pack of them to give them a shot. So glad that I did. The level of isolation when using these tips is nuts. The bass response I was getting with the included tip selection wasn't dreadful, but the isolation wasn't to my liking. The flange tips do sit further into your ear canal, which in my listening causes the input to take on warmer tone, but hasn't proven to be massively detrimental to the soundstage. Trying a set of Comply P-series tips is slightly more comfortable, but the tone is noticeably less pronounced in the lower ranges and slightly more emphasised in the treble ranges. All-in-all, well worth a purchase in my opinion.

I’ve tried a lot of cheap copy versions of these before deciding on buying the proper shure version. In truth there’s nothing to seperate these from the copies other than the price. My main bugbear is that the charging case squashes them so the shape deforms. After that happens they don’t fit your ears properly and bass completely disappears. It’s a shame because Shure headphones sound amazing.
