Why Comply Foam Tips are better than other Foam Tips


Choosing the right foam earbud tips maximizes your audio experience and overall comfort. The wrong choice can lead to poor sound quality, discomfort, and even potential damage to your buds. Whether you are an avid AirPods Pro Addict, a Samsung  Galaxy Guru, or an earbud enthusiast in general, understanding why Comply Foam earbud tips have an advantage over generic foam tips will give you peace of mind while making a purchasing decision for your listening experience.

Slower Recovery Gives You More Time To Put Earbuds In With Comfortable Fit


When compressed, Comply Foam slowly recovers to its original shape at just the right speed – about 10-20 seconds. This gives you time to put the Comply tips in your ears and then quickly get a great seal. Generic foam recovers too fast (only about 2-5 seconds). Not enough time to get them comfortably in your ears. 

Comply Tips Don't Swell In The Presence of Moisture


Comply Foam ear tips feature an advanced balance between hydrophobic and hydrophilic polymers. The blend is one of the contributors to a comfortable foam that provides consistent performance and doesn't swell in the presence of moisture. Generic, hydrophilic foams swell in moisture and can lose their recovery properties permanently. Athlete's wearing earbuds may want consider a foam earbud tip that doesn't absorb moisture (i.e. sweat specifically) otherwise a swollen ear tip can increase pressure on the ear canal and potentially create an ill fit forcing the earbud to fall out.

Generic foam tips have a hard plastic core that can scrape your ear canal and cause pain during insertion. Foam is inconsistently glued to the hard plastic core and comes loose easily, especially after being exposed to moisture
