Broke my HF5 tips... Which new tips should I get ?

Thread Starter 

Hi, like the title said I broke my triple flange tips for my HF5s, and I wonder if I should buy a 5 pairs pack or if I should try out some other tips. 

 

(the gliders are hurting my ears and already damaged just by getting them off... And I don't really like the sound of the foam tips provided)

 

I'd like to keep the sound isolation good though.  

 

Thank you for your advices.

I tried many tips with the HF5, including the popular Shure "olives" and the Klipsch oval tips (uniflange and biflange). My preference for Ety's IEMs goes to the Atrio's biflange tips; they actually work better for the HF5 than for the Atrio! They provide such a good seal that they can prevent the Atrio's dynamic driver from moving (i.e. no sound). No such problem with the HF5 and its BA driver.

Klipsch ovals and Sony hybrids are good options. The hybrids need the core of Complys to work though.
