Ety HF5 don't seal: or is it me ? - Page 2

Or you could go the custom audiologist-fitted route:

Personally, having only paid $80 for my MC-5s, it's hard for me to rationalize spending $100 for custom-made eartips, but the MC-5s (and HF-5s, obviously) qualify for the program.

buy a pair of small olives, they work wonders

It takes a little while to become accustomed to the deep fit but your ears will get used to it. I use the tri flange tips with mine because I found that they sounded the best. You just need to wet your fingertips and use that to moisten the tips you are inserting and put them in with a twisting motion. The isolation is second to none.

I really like the Klipsch gel tips: http://www.klipsch.com/na-en/products/exclusive-oval-ear-tips-overview/

I think the Klipsch Image X10 rivals Etys in both isolation and comfort.
