Bose Proflight - custom ear molds?
I've been using my Proflights for a few months and I'm really happy with them.
I was thinking about getting the custom ear molds for them. My hope is a better fit and that I might be able to use the headsets in a piston single. I'm guessing the custom ear molds would provide enough attenuation for that?
Anyone have experience with the ear molds?

I have earmolds…they are better than the plugs. They take some getting accustomed to…they might make your ear sore the first few times.
You must get “deep” impressions…meaning the plug goes far into your ear canal. As such, putting them into the ear requires some technique…I have to face the top of the plug forward, insert, then twist out and up. Practice when you get them before you put them on the headset and you’ll figure it out.

After you get used the the molds, do you find it more comfortable than the originals?

I had the deep impressions done. BE CAREFUL putting them in. The little clips that hold the Bose original ear pieces in are known to snap while putting the custom ones on. Mine snapped and Bose covered it. For the sound quality...Honestly mine sucked. The ANR seemed like it no longer worked, and the clarity was bad. It sounded like I was talking inside of a bathroom, almost like an echo. I stopped using them, then COVID hit and I never heard back from the company to see if I can make them better somehow.
