Whether a particular tip works or not is mostly dependent upon ear anatomy. What works for one person will most likely not necessarily work for another, no?
I'm really happy for you. I was actually waiting to see if you'd still carry through with your sale plan once you got them.
If you want your jaw to drop, check out Miles Davis' "So What" with the rockets. Best frickin timbre I've heard to date, and the drums/snares make the drummer in me want to cry.
I'd recommend trying them out with Comply TS-500s, or T-500 with the foam ends cut off. It will reveal some glorious bass. I think the highly isolating sealed nature of the Rockets may work against it somewhat at the low end, since the internal ear pressure will not allow your eardrum to vibrate as freely when using silicone tips. Foamies seal via only occlusion, so the vacuum effect is negated. This, to me creates the ultimate sound for the Rockets.
Okay dammit just ordered some TS-500. I'm expecting my mind to be 100% blown.
Eke you magnificent person. These. Sound. Amazing.
Using the large reversed Ts-500 Comply. Lets me get a very shallow, very comfortable fit. Treble has taken absolutely no hit. By reversing the tips and getting a shallower fit, I think treble might even be slightly more present. So far these seem to be the best tips I've used on the Rockets by a long shot.
I'm trying this sorcery tonight. Are the differences above compared to Senn biflanges?

Right on, Jeff. It is so crucial to figure out what tips work best in your own ears. That said, a larger percentage of Aurisonics customers seem to have issues with the stock tips (Rockets and the ASG series alike). Aurisonics tell me they are working on new tips, but no time line for completion.
