Shure EATFL1-6 Triple Flange Sleeves for SCL3, SCL4 and SCL5 Earphones (White)

 (11 customer reviews)

There are significant differences between these and the original triple flange sleeves that come with some Shure's(my E5c pair came with some). It seems like these are made of white rubber rather than the original opaque silicone pair. This has the effect of them being much more rigid and less conforming to the ear canal than before. Also, the flanges themselves are much smaller than the originals. The middle flange on these is approximately the same size as the smallest flange on the older pairs, which in my case, causes the new ones to be unable to create a good seal whatsoever. Even if it did it would still fall out much easier than the original triple flange sleeves, and one of the best features of the flange design in general is that they should stay put fairly well. Perhaps these would be good for people who like their triple flange sleeves but always thought they were too big or too soft.

I recently purchased a pair of Shure SE215's. They have an awesome sound but I could not get a proper seal
with the included buds. I even tried the Comply buds, but even they would not seal properly for me. My Shures did not include these sleeves so I thought I'd buy a set to give them a try. I thought they were a bust at first, extremely uncomfortable. I tried clipping the top flange off and this made them perfect. The seal never breaks and I can lay on my side in comfort while in bed. I also get the best sound isolation with these sleeves. All in all I am a happy camper.

These flanges provide excellent noise isolation and a firm secure fit for the E5 phones. My old ones (which I got from Shure for $12 / pair) had gotten floppy and loose over time and eventually one fell off in Paris and was lost forever in the Seine. These are a great deal. They fit well and work as well as the more expensive originals. The only downside was that the shipping seemed expensive for something that weighs less than an ounce. When they came (in a big box) I found that I'd paid for the vendor to ship his humungous product catalog among with my little flanges. Now I have to build an Interocitor to find out what happens next :-)
