Best IEM tips?

No, I don't have any others to try them on. These earphones are wide bore so I guess they're a good match, the fit over the nozzle looks perfect anyway, leaving the entire nozzle exposed to the ear. Even the stock tips don't do that.
I'm jumping in with both feet having not been on here for an age so forgive me if I missed it but have you tried CFA silicone tips?
My quick shot taken on my thigh as I sit here in the pub doesn't do them justice (could be cleaner too) but they are wide open.

I use Crystals on my Airpod Pro's of all things.

Less sticky than the Xelastecs but still has enough grip to stay in. I like them!
Yep, but there’s one downside for me personally though.

It is somehow not very comfortable for hours of listening due to the material friction with my ear canal, not sure if anyone has similar experience?

Not sure if anyone has tried these tips SednaEarfit Crystal. I used them with my wonderful Legato IEM.
Personally, I feel it increases the clarity, and slightly better instrument separations 😉
They are great tips if you want to boost treble to bring out details, Max is more neutral with smoother treble and some bass boost.
My quick impressions on both.

I just tried the Audiosense S400 tips and they are amazing; they add some bass and body to the bright presentation of the Thieaudio Legacy 4.

I've tried so far the Fiio HS18 but i have to do wonders to have a decent seal on my ears because they are so thin and don't have so much isolation, and the Tri Clarion that have more fit on my ears and give a similar sound to the Hs18, bright and spaciousness.
Yup HS18 very thin indeed.
Which is even more of a shame given how great the wide bore silicone tips they include with their IEM are.
Why produce a different tip for the aftermarket?

Do you use same size in these as you do for the Azla's?

Also, do the nano-coated pressure release holes cause lesser degree of outside noise reduction / isolation?

Thanks, @KinGensai!
Approximately the same, I didn't notice any meaningful difference in size from the two. They fit a bit different though, kind of like deepmounts.

They seal really well for how slick they are, the silicon is quite thick.
