They just look like chemist bought earplugs cut to size.

lol, yep, you're right. but if you don't try it , can't say any constructive critic of it.

Lolz, one of my favorite silicon tips are Heir tips. Worth owning a few sets. Lunashops calls them TF10 tips, or for TF10.

Bummer, shame they won't fit. Using them with SE425, SM64 and S-EM6's which coincidentally all take the same bore size (100 by Comply sizes). Do you know of anything similar with different bore sizes?

Just seen that you're in Aus too, so if you've found anything relatively local then I'm game!

Actually I can, because I have tried this in the past myself.
 
Whoever thinks they came up with some tremendous brainstorm has been beaten many years ago. This method and use of foam earplugs seems great in theory, but there are problems.
 
This foam is far too soft, after being compressed placed in the ear it usually covers the hole of the nozzle. Because there's no real surface area or rubber / foundation coming over the IEM nozzle this type of foam likes to concentrate in funny directions and it's not a great solution. =)
 
You can practice this while the earphone is on a table. Compress the foam and watch it fold over the nozzle opening. That's why you don't see everyone running around cutting up chemist earplugs using a hole punch to place a hole in the centre, and actually buying comply foam tips.

The maintenance involved with foam tips is simply not worth it. The Klipsch and Sony tips are nearly as good or slightly better in every aspect.

The photos on lunashops are quite small, I cannot make them out properly.
 
Can you possibly take a photo of one of them so I can see a little closer?
 
I want to check if I already those tips.

Best seal I have experienced are the grey foam tips for the Ety ER4Ps. They are like wearing regular earplugs, but as they go in so deep and require compressing before fitting them, they don't last too long. But they are cheap to buy in packs of 10 pairs.

Shame they don't come in different sizes.

What size Comply tips should I be going for for the Piston 2s? I assume they're a good fit?

That would be the 400:

They do fit well and they sound decent, but they drown out the high mids and treble a little. My preference is the Isolation tips, usually with the wax guard (i.e. the Tx-) Still, they're comfortable, isolate well and have a pretty clean sound.

I have those and I find they're really tight? I feel like I may break the inner plastic core? And they don't go all the way down, is that right?
 
I've got the Isolation Plus variety BTW.

They should go completely over the middle section that's thinner, but not over the bottom part that's fatter. I've never seen the Piston's in person, but my girlfriend has a pair of Beats Tour

 (She won't listen to my recommendations)-they have the exact same nozzle type -and that's how they fit hers. She hasn't had any issues of then coming out of the ear either.

I'm sorry, I have only a L size. L size is equal to UE900 M size tips. Here is same photos:
 
Sony Hybrid L size vs Lunashop's TF10 L size
 

 

 

 
Since you're familiar with UE900 tips:
 
From the left to right, UE900 M vs Lunashop's TF10 L vs UE900 L

Wow! Thanks a bunch! Going from the pictures I don't think I have those actually. I will order some!

 

[violencer]

I should say that I don't know, do you like it or not, they makes sound a little distance and more U shaped.
I think you should also try this one: http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=2432, http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=2431, http://www.lunashops.com/goods.php?id=2430. They sound signature is the same as on UE Super.Fi 3 Studio M-Audio IE-10 tips. Neutral with a little bass emphasize and sound is very close to the head. Quality of this tips are also very very close to original UE Super.Fi 3 M-Audio IE-10 Studio tips. I think there is not any difference between original and this one from Lunashop. I tried others tips from aliexpress.com that looks like one from UE, but they quality and sound was just awful.
