Sorry for double post, just want to make sure you see this.

Unfortunately this is the only way I can find to buy these. I’ve asked around so many times but no one can seem to identify them. Looks like the package always comes with KBear 08s so not completely useless at least!

The KBEAR 08s are real handy when you get an IEM with a smaller nozzle where all the regular tips won't stay on. Those moments when you take your IEMs, your ear doesn't feel right and you look down and see a bare nozzle!

Agreed - nice comfortable tip if you need some extra bass as well!

Hi I'm looking for an ear tip with good isolation from external sounds. Do you have anything to recommend me?

Generally foam tips can give quite good passive isolation. However, they may dampen the treble a bit and also may be less durable than silicone tips (ie may need replacing every few months).

For silicone tips, I use Spinfits for better isolation, but YMMV.

Thanks for the reply, never tried foam tips. I'll do a test

+1 to foam tips for best isolation, and yes they do tend to cut treble (not always a bad thing). They will need replacing and are a little fiddler to put in, which can be a pain if you need to talk to people frequently (horrific thought).

Tennmak 4.5mm core fit most IEMs are very good and cheap too. Comply give most options for size and shape but much more expensive. Lastly there are a few tips that are silicon with foam core, those are easier to put in if you need to take IEMs out frequently.

For anyone that has Kbear 07 tips, are the different colors supposed to sound different? I got the pack of 5 colored tips recently, and I can't tell if I'm just imagining things. Black ones seem to be a bit V-shaped, blue-green ones seem to cut bass a bit, and white ones seem to cut treble a bit.

The colours indicate the 5 sizes. Large to small run: Yellow, Teal, White, Black, Red. Sound will vary, as your seal with the tips will be better or worse, depending on which size fit you best.

Aren't teal and white the same size though? I feel like they still sound different. Could be imagining things though.

White is medium size, teal are medium/large (M+). I think the 7Hz tips are also pretty similar but come with 6 pairs in the mixed size pack. I had a pair of those thrown in with an IEM so I know their large size is also yellow and fits the same as KBEAR 07 large.

Just bought some really cheap double flange tips, they works surprisingly well on most of my IEMs. Initially I was using them for Fir KR5 and NE4, but they works also pretty well on my Z1R.

I just read that Final Audio E's work great for isolation... and you're a fan of the brand, but that eartip is not your first choice?

A bare nozzle is called a nudist nozzle.

Tried too many tips according to the recommendations from this thread, unforatunately majority of them do not work for me. I will try only buy from amazon so that I can return if they do not work.

Smart guy, but that's cheating... Eartips do cost $100's of dollars for a sample of all of them though.

At that price you can stick it in your ear!

I refuse to put nudist nozzles in my ears, they either fall straight out or hurt!
Your supposed to put those little stretchy things on first (unless it's a custom fit).
