spinfits, final e's and acoustune.
I've been loving the acoustune lately, easy way to temper the bass in my TG334s.

Looking for their site it seems like they've eliminated the English language version so you just get the native language and I'm unsure what that is. Google translate says on the ear tips description that they're not in stock, any kind.

Spiral Dots really opened my sound world.
its horses for courses ... i always found foam tips made my music sound crap ... utterley lost soundstage and any bass response but loads of HeadFi'es swear by them ... this is such a subjective THING

JVC Spiral dots for me,could never use foam tips. They always remove some treble and give more bass, my preference is the opposite.

Spinfits seem to fit and sound best to me on my Polaris
I've just been converted to Spiral Dots after trying so many different tips, they work wonders with my Rhapsodio Zombies! I can see why a lot of people rave about them.
They give a great seal, very comfortable and most importantly, stay in place, while a lot of the others dislodged after no time which got extremely annoying. Really glad I took the plunge.

I've gotten quite a few different styles of tips but not the JVC spiral dots because…
Just priced them for purchase in the USA using Amazon or eBay. A box each of the MS, M and ML is $37.22 shipped or perhaps swum from Japan with estimated delivery in a month with the L size adding about $16 more. Amazon cost more actually but they were still shipping from Japan. I do have the option to buy ones for $16 with Prime 2 day shipping for $16 but only in M. Since I have quite a bit of problems fitting any IEMs, and these in particular, I'd be willing to get just one size if it was the ML since I usually end up using M silicone tips although for the iBasso IT01 I went with the large KZ Whirlwind so I figure if I get just one size I'd want to start with the ML. If it didn't take a month between order and delivery I'd be more willing to buy a size at a time. But ideally I'd want to get L, ML, L and MS. I'd be willing to skip the MS if I could get the others. So my best shopping gets me to over $41 for a 3 size (L, ML and M) solution.
So I'm sticking with the KZ Whirlwind and Starlines just because they are dirt cheap and readily available from China for under $10 for 2 packages of 6 pairs of tips 2x L, M and S and e-packet shipping to get them in a week and a half.
Wish the spiral dots were more easily available in the USA

Comply seems to pretty dominate the tips industry.

The available sizes and prices of Spiral Dots from Amazon- shipped from Amazon warehouses or another U.S. source- fluctuate. A few months ago, I got ML Spiral Dots for $15.88, shipped from Amazon, but at the moment, they're only available shipped from Japan.I've gotten quite a few different styles of tips but not the JVC spiral dots because…

The best tips for what? There are just no universal tips that are best for every item. I've tried everything. While the shure olives are great for some items and one of my favorites for a long time, but they are just not the best for every item. Some items just sound good with meelec dual-flanges, others with ety tri-flanges, sony hybrids and so on. Sooner or later one has to deal with the reality and get a decent collection of different tips.
