Types of Comply Foam Tips
There are three different main types of tips that Comply makes:
- Comfort tips
- Isolation tips
- Sport tips
Head to Head Comparison: Comfort vs. Isolation vs. Sport
For example, if you get a pair of JayBird X2 Sport headphones, they will come not only with the silicon tips but also with the Comply Foam Sport tips. Sport tips do an outstanding job of managing sweat. They don’t get greasy and slimy with sweat if you sweat a lot.
However, the problem that I have with the Sport tips is that they don’t get a lot of good isolation, and if you don’t get good sound isolation or seal in your ear, you’re not going to get the best bass response. I like having a good solid bass response, which is why the Comfort tips and the Isolation tips work much better for me.
The problem for me with the isolation tips is that they are so long that they get blocked in my ear canal, so even though I tried different positions, they still block it off, and this degrades the sound: it becomes muffled and muted. It was in just one ear canal, which shows me that some people may not have a problem with the isolation tips.
The Comfort ones are shorter, and they do not get pinched off in my ear, so I get perfect sound isolation and, of course, excellent bass response.
I said above that the Sport tips to do a better job of managing sweat. However, even the Comfort and Isolation ones are not a problem for me. I live in a sweltering and humid environment, and in the summertime, I sweat a lot, but I don’t have much of an issue.
Cons? They will get a little wetter, and the sweat does not get absorbed like with the Sport ones. They may move around a little bit, but I don’t think it’ll be an issue for most people.
Best Comply Tips for Everybody: How to Choose?
To sum it up, my recommendations are:
- If you’re looking for tips that have the best fit in terms of no slipping, especially when you get a lot of sweat, the Sport tips are going to be your best choice. With that being said, you should be ready to sacrifice a little bit of sound isolation and bass response.
- If you like sound isolation and bass, either go with the Comfort or Isolation tips. Most people would like the Comfort ones better because the Isolation ones are a little bit longer.
- If you’re looking for the best isolation and the best bass response, go with the Isolation tips. These do give the best bass response, but the Comfort ones are not that much off compared to them.
- If you are looking for the best choice overall, I recommend going with the Comfort tips since they are not as long, making them a bit more comfortable. They still have splendid isolation and outstanding bass response.
- It may be a good idea to buy a pair of each. That way, if the Isolation ones get pinched off in your ears a little bit, and the sound is muted, then, of course, you can switch over to the Comfort tips.
