WEll I just ordered the real ones from B&H Photo, but they're black and i dont like black.  I want the white ones, but they don't have the real white ones.  Only the clone ones have White color.  So that's why if anyone experiences the clone ones before .  
 
Yea I know tips are very important for an IEM, that's why im trying to find the perfect one.  I like Silicone the most because they give the best sound reproduction and don't alter the sound like Foam or Gel tips.  But the issue with Silicone tips is that they get dirty very easy when they're dry.  
 
Like they attracted dirt really easy if you look at your silicone tips closely.
 
So im trying to find a silicone tip that is like the Sony Hybrid cause they seem don't get dirty that easy compare to most "Clear" see through Silicone tips.

You can order white ones from amazon while supplies last. According to them, they have been discontinued by the manufacturer.

I see....I suggest you buy the clones (white) too as they are dirt cheap and very affordable to try. for yourself....btw, it's the dark color you immediately notice it has the dust and doesn't mean the originals don't collect but if your ears have enough wax to discharge on it....jk. yeah the lint roller is trustworthy :wink:

Yea the thing is I don't know if they will fit with my Aurisonics ASG-2.5 nozzle or not, cause the ASG-2.5 has a pretty big nozzle diameter.

Joker, I saw that you tried the Soundmagic E80.  What is it comparable to of the IEMs you've reviewed?

I only tried it briefly and it seemed like an evolution of the E10 to me. Maybe my brain was playing tricks on me just because it's a soundmagic. The only other thing I had with me was the GR07, and it wasn't as neutral as that.

The E80 is a good bit brighter/sharper than the E10 to me but the bass and mids are much more neutral and really well done. It'll come down to your preference for treble imo. Unfortunately I wasn't crazy about the E80 treble tuning. I say unfortunately because everything else is so good.

The E50 seems like the direct upgrade to the E10 to me. A hair brighter with tighter, faster bass that might be a hair less in quantity. But all certainly have the Soundmagic house sound imo.

Hi Joker, many thanks for your hard work! I've got a few questions if you've got the time:
Is the Piston 3 review coming out anytime soon? My old Monoprice 8320 are slowly disintegrating, and since I've been quite happy with their sound profile (when not altered by the horrible seal), I figure I should be looking at something in the balanced category for replacement/upgrade. As I'm currently low on cash, I need something cheap to get me through the next few months and I've been hearing good things about the new Pistons. How balanced they really are though, and how would you compare the two? I'm aware there isn't much of a choice of cheap flat(ish) iems, and remote/microphone is also a plus for me. Of course, if anyone has a different suggestion under, say, 50$, I'm all ears!

Should be the next one posted on THL :)
 
The Piston 3 is kind of the opposite of  the 8320 when it comes to relatively balanced IEMs. The 8320 is much more mid-centric and has slightly rolled-off deep bass and not real bright highs. The Piston 3 is... none of those things, really. I do think the Piston is the better earphone, but it's not at all a straight-shot upgrade from the 8320 due to how differently it is tuned. 
 
I can't really think of a straight 8320 upgrade within budget - most things are either more v-shaped like the Piston 3, or just a lot bassier. Closest thing is probably the VSonic R02 Silver, and that's 2x the price of the Piston 3 and lacks the remote. The Piston is just a killer value - definitely worth a shot if you don't think you will hate its sound sig.

The other thing to check is the warranty ( besides quality and price) not sure they will offer the same ...
