Sony hybrids or complys. I would also try any spare tips you got from any other iems.

Those seem to be a good deal as people are getting extra pairs and are even cheaper than the originals.

I have a UE 600vi and the silicone earbuds from those fits the Monoprice 8320 fine. It's a tight squeeze but they're a really nice fit. At first listen, the stock buds really suck and doesn't have a good seal (they're too soft) - and I was going to just return them. But after a listen with the UE buds, they sound pretty damn good.
Although they're still a backup to my UE600vi because of the remote, I'm thinking of getting a cheap remote and use them with these. Now I just have to find out where I can find more UE earbuds/eartips.
What are your experience with flanges? I was thinking a 2-level would be a better fit than a 3-level. And do you know what models fit?

I honestly don't really have any, these are one of 2 pairs of IEMs I have they others being the pair of ibeats that came with my phone. Ive kind of avoided them because I could really never get them to work right in my ears and I just preferred over the ear headphones. I need a pair for work though and though why not whats 7 dollars. Come to find out I've been trying to put them in wrong all this time.
Now I get a decent seal, but they're just not the most comfortable phones out there. I think I can improve that. So I'm totally up to suggestions. Though since they don't seem to get very deep because of their shape I had considered some of the 3 levels too.

So does anyone have a preferred seller on ebay to get some of the Sony copys and maybe a set of foam tips too? Or is one just as good as another?
What size is the stem on these? I see few online size the tips by that, I know these have a stem that is definitely on the larger side.

Here are similar ones on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006CRVZB8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=A10S6OB23UD1NX
If you know your size, these may be good buys because you get a bunch of backups.

I also recommend the above referenced eBay seller Lostearbuds. Great price and fast shipping.

Seconded. For about 15$ you can get pretty much any kind of silicone tip you wanted to try.

I will surely fail AB test between RPGWiZaRD’s Dolby->E17->8320 and HD598, if both were IEM's, lol
Great find...I love their smooth presentation and with tape mod everything is just perfect

I've had and used the monoprice $7.11 IEM's for a while at work. (after seeing this thread) I've had them for a few months now. They extremely uncomfortable, but for $7.11, I can't complain. The sound is decent for the price too.
I was digging through my closet and found my pair of kicker IEM's. I have no idea what model they are, since they were a gift a while back. They look very similar to the monoprice ones. They sound identical. I read that the monoprice around ear headphones were rebranded kicker headphones, which leads me to believe these are just rebranded kicker IEM's.
This might already be common knowledge, but I found it interesting since I own both and they are VERY similar in both sound and appearance. (though the monoprice once has chrome and looks more tacky.)

Do you mean these ones? If so.... I found they sound nothing like mono price 8320 in anyway. The kickers are a bass heavy IEM, with very average mids and highs.

I tried the Monoprice with the double flange tips from the MEElectonics M9 and it sounded worse. It seems the double or triple flange tips will push the driver further away from your ears and resulting in a more flat and hollow sound. I had a good seal, it just sounded flat.
These probably sound best with the comply or sony hybrid tips.
