Ordered shure triple flanges for my fischer audio dba-02, (the stock ones have a tendency to come off in my ear too easily) and sennheiser 414 pads for my alessandro ms1i which I'll do the reverse quarter mod on.

I've heard good things about these ones: http://www.iheadphones.co.uk/comply-t200-black-large-5-pair.html

I've yet to try them though, considering ordering some this month though I'm beginning to hate the sound of my Ety's.

I tried them on my ER-4Ps, they hurt to take out from the strength of the seal. I try to use hybrids on my DBA-02s now but have to fit a foam core on the shaft since it's a different size...

Never really liked foam although the only ones I've used are shure olives foam from a crappy se110 and didn't really like them, they deteriorate quicker than silicon and take longer to get a good fit. The stock triple flanges are super at adding isolation and bass impact so I'm reluctant to move away from what works for me. I've read on Head-fi, some posters swearing by trimmed complys but I can't see it bettering the isolation, convenience and longevity of silicon triple flanges.

The triple flanges included with the dba-02 were a revelation for me as I'd never used them before (the re0 biflanges didn't really suite for deep insertion), the only flaw was them coming unstuck very deep in the ear and not having a tweezers to hand. As long as they tips stay on when I take them out I'll suffer any pain gladly.

This post by Clieos really helped make an informed decision:

Ordered a Schiit Asgard to power my HD650s

Why not an Objective-2?

I've gotten all of these within the last couple of months. So far the Grado is the best sounding, followed by the JVC, then the Denon, and the Sennheisers. The Portapros aren't as good as people told me they'd be.

Looking at ordering one of these in the next few months, did you ordered directly from Schiit?
What DAC are you going to be running with it? I'm tempted to get a Bifrost with USB, else probably just a HRT Streamer II.

Got a bit of time to listen to the AIAIAI TMA-1s the last few days. Very impressed. They look pretty great in my opinion. Retro style and feel like a high quality product down to the way they were packed.

The sound is a little bass heavy but for the price they're downright impressive. Comfortable and good with any music I threw at them. Overall I'm delighted with them for €90. I was thinking of buying them to sell them on but I won't be doing that which I suppose is a pretty strong endorsement.

Just picked up this for my sony e765 mp3 player:

Actually surprised how decent the sound is after a bit of burning in, and it's great they way it fits the walkman perfectly: no cables etc.
