One poster was correct, you have to snip off the rear stub in order to get the plastic portion of the E3 as close to the opening in the ear piece as possible (for best sound and comfort). Bottom line, didn't see a benefit of these over the foam sleeves which are hard to beat (maybe custom fit earpieces are the only way for better sound and comfort). Anyway, I was automatically solicited by Amazon for these triple flange sleeves and read the blogs and decided to give them a try. Then I saw a blog that one could clean the hardened foam sleeves by enclosing them in a sock and washing them in the washer machine.works like a champ. When those became hard and discolored from repeated use, I ordered a set of replacements. Experimenting with one earpiece using foam and the other using the triple flange plastic piece, these triple flange ear pieces did not result in the same quality and richness of bass from music or sound isolation but were similar in comfort as the foam sleeves(good but not great). I have a pair of E3s and have been using the foam sleeves that came with the product.
I never got the full potential in bass from my E3c's until these arrived.
They are worth it.
Don't pay 27 dollars for 3 pair though.
I found the same exact thing from a store on eBay for under $19 with free shipping.
Not really sure why Shure doesn't include these with the headphones; I would have started using these long ago if I had known what an improvement they create.
The seal these offer is far superior to any of the other tips I've used before.
They fit snug and are more comfortable over extended use than the clear or black rubber tips.
A little pricey for tips either way, but if you have Shure in-ear's that shouldn't matter.
I use these with my Shure E3c's and they're great.
I went with the foam attachments and was much happier. The foam ones I could leave in for 14+ hours. I travel on very long flights so these were just horrible and made my ears hurt after 30 minutes. I tried these flanges based on all of the positive reviews but I found them to be very painful.
I didn't even mess with this pair until the very last set. I have worn these things for 6 hours plus (and I have tiny ear openings) comfortably. These turn out the easiest to put in and out, stayed put and consistently block out sound all the while delivering excellent sound.When the sound is sort of flat, I know I need to readjust the earbuds in my ear until the sound becomes perfect. I got this pair along with several other foam and plastic earbuds that came with my excellent Shure SE210s.On my very long trip to South Africa, I was able to experiment and test.
I actually pulled the tips off my earplugs and put them on my Shure I2C-M Stereo Mobile Headset and they worked like a charm. I play really loud rock music and would go deaf fast if i didn't wear them. They usually run around $12. I cut off the third flange like the suggestions on here and it worked even better.I'm pretty sure you could find black tips if you just search for noise-canceling earplugs and then take them off and use them on your headphones. but the tips are exactly the same as the earplugs i use for rehearsing.
