foam stuffed hybrid tips

  Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but has anyone had any luck getting hold of replacement tips for Sony XBA's? mine are starting to fall apart...

 
Do you mean the gel hybrid ones or the normal silicone? If the gel, I got a set you can have.

Kinda reviving an old thread, but I was looking for these for a pair of GR07 Classics which no longer come with the vsonic foam stuffed hybrids...hence wanting these. Getting the model number of amazon jp, then doing a search on ebay = http://www.ebay.com.au/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_sacat=0&_nkw=EP-EXN50&LH_PrefLoc=2&_arm=1&_armm=63&_ruu=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_from%3DR40%26_sacat%3D0%26_nkw%3DEP-EXN50%26_arr%3D1
 
Plenty of sellers from JP willing to take $23 USD or thereabouts for two pairs. Hope it'll help someone.
If someone knows anywhere cheaper/has a spare set of Ls lying around let me know :p

another option for these tips if anyone is still looking and doesn't want to use ebay and wants to potentially save a few bucks : http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/product/NEOACS-46165

He's got the right idea, a hole punch is definitely required. I tried this a while back, forget why I stopped. Now all he needs is some form of reliable glue to secure the foam inside the tip that won't stiffen the tip walls.

As a side note, I'm terribly surprised China third party / eBay sellers haven't started churning out these style tips.

Albeit it's been further time and years since the original posting, but:
 
Sony OEM replacement noise isolation (foam stuffed) IEM tips, size M:  US$12.42 with free ship for a set of 4, via Amazon.com Marketplace (Japan import):
 
http://www.amazon.com/Sony-Noise-Isolation-Ep-exn50m-Imports/dp/B005OT3O5A/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top?ie=UTF8
 
Why Sony does not support its U.S. customers is beyond me.  Perhaps it helps explain Sony's downturn . . . .
 
Sony OEM replacement hybrid (non-stuffed) IEM tips also available at Amazon.com as well as eBay, and eBay is rich with inexpensive non-OEM versions (for as low as $1 for an assortment of 6 tips (in S-M-L) shipped (from Asia)).

I'd personally say skip the non genuine ones...ordered some they all broke pretty quickly.
If not getting the Sony ones I'd say vsonic is the only other decent choice

I ordered the eBay $2 non stuffed ones, and those wer the ones that broke. I've not seen stuffed ebay generic ones.
 
regarding vsonic, I was referring to both their stuffed and non stuffed hybrid clones - they are all of high quality - so good infact I bought extra from lendmeurears :D

i have 2 tips that look like sony hybrid foam filled tips
 
one of them is a knock off, and i do not recall which one, i see one where the foam is more gooee and hold firmly against the silicon walls from the sides, while the other wiggles and is not hold tightly to the slicicon sides edges, wonder which is the original one
 
where i can i buy knock of sony silicon foam filled tips these days

  Try eBay.

i am looking for the one that is with the gooee foam and sticking against the silicon walls and edges, and i do not know if this is the original or the knock off
 
also i can not see the cheap ones from ebay all are over 15 usd per pair
 
can someone post a pic high res of an original sony foam filled tips showing the foam portion, and check if the silicon wiggles and if the foam is not 100% attached to the wall of the silicon
