Korben Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Well bought some and they were delivered today. I have moulded them and stuck them in my ears with an old pair of IPOD Headphones squiged in there...They are currently still in my ears as they need 15 - 20 minutes to dry.I can hear next to nothing. I have had to turn the TV up to 3 times the normal volume and I still can only just hear it.Oh, the one that is not pictured in my ear was a tester... They give you enough to make 3 so you can do a test run first.Few Piccies... Warning, some of them are close ups of my ugly mug!!!! http://i524.photobucket.com/albums/cc324/bikerkorben/Ear%20Plugs/DSC01048.jpghttp://i524.photobucket.com/albums/cc324/bikerkorben/Ear%20Plugs/DSC01049.jpghttp://i524.photobucket.com/albums/cc324/bikerkorben/Ear%20Plugs/DSC01047.jpgWould recommend them.... So weird typing when you can't hear your fingers hitting the keys.. Quote
Roadtorque Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 That looks like Blue Tack But as long as it does the job & they come out ok,,, Jobs a good un Quote
Korben Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 It is disturbingly close to the same colour as blue tac!!! Quote
Guest Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 I will be very interested how this goes... saw these somewhere a while ago. Quote
Guest Mr Miller Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 Pardon, Korbs?You'll have to type a bit louder! Quote
MtotheJ Posted May 19, 2009 Posted May 19, 2009 They look pretty darn good! How did you manage to get the headphones in them? Is it like play dough that you just squish in your ear and then shove the headphone through? Quote
Korben Posted May 19, 2009 Author Posted May 19, 2009 You get two different tubs which have a different putty type substance in them.You split each pot into 3 seperate balls of putty, then take one lump from each and mix them together. This starts a reaction which after about 15 minutes makes it solidify....To get the headphones in I basically wrapped the headphone in the stuff making sure that the putty would enter my ear canal and create the seal in the right place then shoved it in my ear.Moved the headphone into the right place then made sure the putty sealed my ear and round the headphone.... Then left them in my ear for 20 minutes to harden.. Quote

I'm sure I read this somewhere... Quote

wiffers Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 I used these too mate - exactly the sameI made 3 ...one for leftone for rightone where I inserted a headphone into my ear, then pushed putty around itI've had them around 4 months nowThey work great Quote
Guest Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 So you can clean these ok then? But what happens if you need to get your earphone out . Do you have to break the mould or something Quote
wiffers Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 You can clean fine, wash under a tapHeadphone will be in there permanent , my putty was around earpiece Quote
Korben Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 Yeah, they will clean ok, and yes if I want to remove the headphone I will have to break them open... Don't intend to though.TBH these are just for my trip to Wales in a couple of weeks. Want to have some music on the way there and back again. I am going to invest in some proper ones (Or if I buy a TomTom Rider with the Scala setup I won't be) before the end of the year and use my normal disposable ones for the time being Quote
lib Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 So you managed to get them out of you r ear OK and don't still have an earphone stuck to the side of your head? How much were they? Quote
Korben Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 So you managed to get them out of you r ear OK and don't still have an earphone stuck to the side of your head? How much were they? Yes mate, they came out fine, although the first time you I pulled them out it felt like it was stuck... Just a matter of twisting it the right way.Including the delivery about £17.00.... Well worth it mate.... Quote
lib Posted May 20, 2009 Posted May 20, 2009 Yeah that is good. You have a link for them as I have been looking for molded plugs but they all seem to be nearer £100.Cheers!Paul Quote
Korben Posted May 20, 2009 Author Posted May 20, 2009 Got mine from here... http://www.enhancedlistening.co.uk/prod ... ?P_ID=1522Very good service, although I think delivery was a rip off!!!These are no where near the same quality as proffessionally fitted ones, but if you need some for a quick trip like I need mine, then well worth it!!
