I just picked up a Soundmagic ES18 IEM. I used my trusty Sony Hybrid tips with them, but the more I used the tips, the more I realized how the narrow opening is suppressing the treble.
I browsed around these forums and noticed that RadioShack's Auvio line has a hybrid tip replacement set (with cord manager) for $14.99 and I could immediately see from the pictures that the opening was much larger.

Sure enough I picked them up, tried them out, and had much better treble performance without sacrificing the great Sony Hybrid tips seal and bass response. Frankly I think the Auvio hybrids are the best tips I've used.
The problem...? I need 3-4 pairs of the blue sized (medium I think) and there is no way I'm paying $45 - $60 just to get them
Are there any ways to grab these cheaper? Is there some other brand/generic version of these? I didn't see any phone numbers I could call to just try and ask RadioShack how to buy 4 sets of the same size
Unfortunately the FS/FT forum didn't have enough Auvio tips activity to ensure I'd be able to trade for 3-4 blue pairs.
