I'm curious if the Asym might work just as well if I were to put some Comply tips on it? Hey Doc,

I am curious which ear tip you chose to use with the TiTAN as my experience leads me to believe that the Comply tip would make a huge difference. I’m curious if the Asym might work just as well if I were to put some Comply tips on it?

I've bought 4 pair of earbuds over the past few years and none of them work under my helmet. I looked all around the web for reviews like this one - detailed about the things that matter! 1) Fit 2) Isolation 3) Sound. Much Appreciated! Thanks so much for the review.

Glad I didn't, as isolation was one of my primary requirements (Any time I fly on travel, my first leg is on a turboprop.) The Titans I bought at Target were $12 cheaper, but did not come with the Comply foam tips. This wasn't much of a problem, as I was already planning on taking a different approach. If you want to try increasing the isolation of the Titans, check out http://www.instructables.com/id/Poor-Man-Noise-Canceling-EarBud-Headphones/ - The original mod was done by the author on some JVC Marshamallows, but it works great with the Titans too. It should also make them EXTREMELY difficult to bump out - with the modified earplug-based foam tips, they're in there quite solid. I agree with the other poster, aim the wire up and forward and loop it up and back around your ear, it makes it harder to yank the headphones and also dampens any noises generated by bumping the cables.

With the right size cups on, they block a lot of noise, they sound fine, and they fit suitably deep into my ears. https://www.audiolinks.com/tek9/tek9.asp?pg=products&specific=jrorcqi0 My only problem was the rubber cups coming loose and immediately getting lost. So I superglued them on, and while it can make unexpected quick removals a little suction-cuppy, it doesn't damage your ears if they get yanked out somehow, and they haven't gotten lost again in 2+ years.

It's more important than how deep they sit in the ear for keeping them in place under a moto helmet. Always loop the cord over the top of your ears.

“I wish I could get as deep as the TiTANs.”

“I wish the slider was a little more raised, and that the adjuster housing was shaped differently so I knew which side was “up” by feel. However knowing me if the slider was any larger I would bitch about it being too easy to bump”
