    Just out of curiosity, are there any foam eartips available for sale that would fit with the ep-630s? I recently tried out some foamies, and I must say they fit my ear a lot better than the silicon tips included with the ep-630s did, and I felt like the overall outside noise I could hear was less too. I like to study with my earphones on, so extra noise cancellation would be a real bonus. I really don't want to shell out on a whole new set of earphones just for the noise isolation, so are there foam eartips available that fit the 630s? Thanks.

    Comply foam tips are excellent indeed. They came with my Westone UM1s are sound isolation is excellent, comfortable too. I sat about 1m from my room phone and I couldn't hear it ring and missed a call. :eek:

    Thanks guys :) I appreciate the quick responses. Just out of curiosity, do you have any reccomendations for IEMs < ~75 that have good noise canceling properties? I love my ep-630s, which is why I went for the foamies for now, but i'm open to shelling out for a better pair if they're on sale or something.
