Memory Foam Headphone Tips - Useful or not?



The standard in ear headphones come with silicon tips which in my experience when using them have the knack of falling out of your ears when walking or doing exercise. The idea with memory foam is that it expands when warm; the tips will expand gently inside your ear and create a seal. Creating this seal is what can create a better and more comfortable feel when listening to music.

When first trying them out I felt a little differently when using these compared to the silicon tip and take some getting used because the feel in different in your ears but the seal it creates a block out from the outside world which music’s the music seem louder there benefiting the people around you as well.

After using the tips for 4-5 months I cannot say that I fully prefer the memory foam tips to the standard silicon, they make the music sound a lot more whole when listening to the music which can only be an improvement. When using them in the gym I now have no problem with losing headphones be that during cardio or weight lifting which is a vast improvement to constantly putting the silicon tips back in my ear as they keep falling out in my experience. Generally I feel that changing the tips has enhanced my listening experience when using my in ear headphones and would recommend them to anyone who constantly uses this style of headphone like myself.
