After reading your post, I went back and tried all the tips again with various depths into my ear, tried doing the pull back a little trick, and still, the only time I can get a decent seal is with the large double flanges shoved in far enough that you can just barely feel the trailing edge of the double flange inside my ear canal, I'll try to get a picture tonight. Maybe that's just how the double flanges are supposed to be worn, and it just seems to me like I'm putting a sock on the end of a chopstick into my ear. I can't get any of the other tips to work for me. SoozieQ tells me I'll get used to it. Today is already better than yesterday for comfort. Sound quality is subjectively the same. Don't figure that's enough info to bother posting an update to my top post yet.
