Yeah I've tried different sizes... But often times one size down from what fits on the left is too small for the right. My ears are just weird I guess

@Baycode Here are photos of TE05 tip (right) compared with JVC Spiral dots (left), bore of TE05 tip is just slightly narrower than JVC's .

Can you compare Singolo and B3?

Both of them are great phones but they are quite different in term so sound signature.
B3s are more neutral with clearer sound, bigger sound stage and better instrument separation, while Singolos are more energetic and more fun with punchier bass, more intimate vocal and a lot easier to drive.

Well I just got my spiral tips in... maybe they'll be the answer to my woes.
 

Spoiler: Pics!

EDIT: 1 L 1 M working for me now, we'll see how it holds up. 
 
Note that I'm only powering my Havis with a portable amp (E18), do they benefit from the higher output of desktop amps vs just a portable?
 
EDIT 2: 2 Hours later... CHILLS

The price dropped on amazon japan a few weeks ago and so did some of the prices on ebay. Currently they can be had for $22.80 per box including shipping. Not sure if it's ok to link directly to an ebay posting or not in this forum. But a quick ebay search for EP-FX9L-B  should show them to you if interested.

Thanks a lot, I'll find them

  Hey @Netforce ,  if you push the Hifiman double flanges all the way  down the bore of the B3 (like the one I show you on the photo) they fit better IMO.
 

This way "tip bore depth" shortens, fitting is more secure and sound is better IMO. I suggest you to try this method if you haven't done yet

 
 
 
EDIT: @Netforce I just check your link for hifiman ear-tips. These ear-tips are different than the one I show you on the above photo (white silicone double-flange hifiman).  So I have no idea...

Looks cool, I'll give it a try with the large double flange hifiman tips I got. So often do companies start offering more tips after I get them. Possibly considering ordering another pair of havi for some more tips but I'm already pushing it with all the tips I got now. 

 
LA head fi meet coming up soon for me, last time I brought my havi with me but nobody really gave it a listen as likely they were a bit more unknown back in March. This time I may get some luck in getting some more people to give em a try

Ok, this solve my problem. I 've suffered from small-bore tips clarity and loosen large-bore tips(senn d-flange). so I ordered this one(on rigth side). it has large-bore and it fits like M-size tips from Havi. now it fits my ear and clarity is unbelievable!!!

The amount of work Baycode's put into this thread is unbelievable. I was just reading the 'disassembly guide' and it blew me away. (very interesting too I might add)

PS: Mine have been shipped a few days ago. I'm really inspired to try them.
