What kind of earbuds do you mean? Those incredibly expensive custom molded ones? I have some foam tipped earbuds (Tinaudio T2) and the isolation seems pretty good compared to other earbuds I have previously owned but nowhere near the 1000XM3 active noise canceling.
- plorkyeran 7y agoSilicone tips work much better than foam tips for me. I currently use Shure SE215s and the passive noise blocking when using silicone tips seems similar to (but not better than) the old quietcomforts I've used.
- kderbe 7y agoBefore using custom molded IEMs I used Etymotics with foam tips, which had much thicker foam than what I see on the Tinaudio product page. The isolation with foam is just as good, if properly inserted (same technique as with foam earplugs: roll to compress, insert deeply, and hold in place until fully expanded). But after only a few insertions the foam starts to lose its resiliency and sound-blocking effectiveness. Custom IEMs can isolate noise almost as well as fully inserted foam earplugs, and they take only a second to insert or remove. The convenience and sound-blocking consistency are why I prefer them to "universal" tipped IEMs.
