California Audio Show 2015 Show Report
Comply IEM / CIEM Accessories And The Pono Music Player

  Comply offers a wide variety of accessories for both universal and custom for IEMs. In fact Heather, my wife, reviewed the Comply Comfort Fit PLUS Tips and found them to be excellent on her universal fit IEMs. You can read Heather's review of the Comply Comfort Fit PLUS here.

Comply now offers their Custom Wraps ($17.95 for set of five pair) for CIEMs to make them more comfortable and to improve the seal when you talk. Heather tried them on her Noble Kaiser 10 CIEMs and found them very challenging to be comfortable and wound up taking them off within a few minutes. They probably would work better for someone who has custom fit IEMs that do not fit properly or are old and instead of paying for a refitting, uses these as a Band-Aid of sorts to save money versus a proper refitting of their CIEMs to ensure they fit properly tight.

The PONO folks with their player were here at CAS 2015 and offering a special price of $325 for CAS 2015 attendees. That is a $75 savings off the normal $399 price. For those unfamiliar, the Pono players is a portable media player that handles everything from lossy MP3 to FLAC. It has 64GB of internal memory and you can use two pairs of normal stereo headphones or use both outputs in a special mode to have true balanced output as seen in the photo above. You can read my head to head shootout with the Sony NWZ-ZX1 and NWZ-A17 versus the Pono music player here.
