Does this make the IEM fit less deep? I don't see how any tips could increase the comfort vs the stock small tips unless they seal at a shallower insertion so the fat nozzle doesn't have to go as deep.

The tips have thinner silicone walls and also much thinner around the part that goes on the nozzle. That, combined with the more tapered design, allows it to mold and fit deeper and more secure, compared to the stock tips which are more rounded and bulky with stiffer silicone. The nozel on its own isn't too big for most ears, it's just with the thick silicone layered on top it gets too big

I actually have some small green CP-145 and I didn't find them any more comfortable than the stock tips. I will have to try them again!

Yeah the cp145 is a little thicker around the nozzle. The 155 is thinner there and shaped a little more tapered. I find them more comfortable myself, but everyone is different

Argh I should have got 155 but I love the 145 on Chu.
