anyone have suggestions for an alternative to the t400? theyre great and i love them, but the life is way too short. i go through a set in about 4 weeks before they get disgustingly yellow and soft. i tried cleaning them but they dont do well and fall apart easily. ive tried silicone tips, but they dont seem to have a good seal with the turbines, and the foam tips that came with the nuforce 7m was too small. ive taken a look at hybrids, but they either seem to be too small or way too expensive, a pack of 4 different sizes is $20 when only one would truely fit me? thanks.

Comply T-400 alternatives?

I actually took someone's suggestion on here and used Shure Olives. To make them fit on an eartip of t-400 width, I used pliers and slowly and patiently stretched the cores of the olives. Now they fit snug on my RE0's. Cant beat the olives as far as I know from a comfort and durability standpoint.

how is the comfort for shure olives stretched vs T-400?
errr, also, seems more like tweezers than pliers.
