With my HOD Teclast T-51 DAP came a "free" IEM (model R8):

They come with an extra set of (white) silicone (??) flange tips that I found to be (overall) the BEST tip I've used for my IE-8. I've used several 3rd-party tips and although the latest Comply foams are a tiny bit better isolating, they are $$ and not reusable. The nice thing about the R8 tips is that they are quite thin, which makes them very comfortable and create a better (isolating) seal.
 
I'm not suggesting folks purchase this DAP just for the tips! Rather ... does anyone know where Teclast sources the tips from?
 
Note1: I haven't tried the Monster tips, so they may be similar.
Note2: The R8 is not a bad IEM in and of itself. And way better than the freebie included with the S:Flo2.
