Another one to watch our for is 3M's Durapore tape. I forget what the doctor's office called it when they gave me what was left of a roll. It's different from Micropore and Transpore.- Arkady Duntov

SpinFit Eartips Thread - The cheapest audio upgrade
Amazon used to sell the medium CP240, and that's where I bought mine. Even though many of the Amazon listings for SpinFit tips say "Sold by Spinfit and Fulfilled by Amazon", they don't have them. Could SpinFit have discontinued them?- Arkady Duntov

NEW - Campfire Comet and Atlas
I couldn't get a reliable, repeatable fit with Final-E, Spiral Dot, SpinFit CP-100, SpinFit CP-240, Dekoni Bulletz, or Symbio Mandarine N or W tips; there was either insufficient seal or they sealed to the point of blocking all sound.
