Thanks.:) i call them frankenstein tips. Basically i took the plastic core from the foam tips of the GR07 and used Hippo medium sized foam tips coupled with sony tips that i had from a previous headphone i had laying around and finally inserted the coupled tips into the plastic core that was mentioned earlier. i had since tried different foams with the sony tips and found the shure foams to isolate the best. that was a old photo i uploaded. i love the bigger bore and hybrid between the foam + sony tips. very good isolation and improve details and clarity i hear from the GR07. because i can now insert my headphones deeper and the foam helps to fill the gap for better isolation + having the advantage of a bigger bore. give it a try if u manage to find some tips with bigger bore u could work with.
Some pics to better explain the tips.:)

To go full retro though, you'll need a cassette Walkman or a late-'80s Discman

Will a Double Cassette Boom Box speakers directly on Ear, qualify?
