Over the years, I have also built up a small collection ...

In my experience, there are almost no really bad ear tips. However, the result depends very much on the individual ear or hearing. For example, I don't get on at all with the popular Spinfit CP100(+). And I also use different tips for each IEM.

But I usually reach for these first:

Azla SednaEarfit (shorts)
Symbio F (foam)
Symbio W peel (silicone only)
Softears UC
Azla Crystal

Pentaconn Coreir have raised the tip bar for me…solid bass with a slight mid bass bias, detail, separation and soundstage next level…not cheap but a big 👍’s from me.
I am also very interested in these. However, because of the high price, I want to be relatively sure that I am ordering the right size. Do you have a comparison with other well-known tips?

Hello, I just have a quick question if anyone knows the answer. I just got my first pair of iem planar which are these Artti T10 I wanted to get foam tips because I find the silicone aren't comfortable for my ears and was wondering if any foam iem tips would work or does it need to be specific size because I was looking at these Comply but Im not sure if they will fit and I was also looking at Dekoni as well. Thanks!
Check out Sonicfoam---In my mind as good as the Complys and last longer.--for about a quarter of the price.

The Divinus Velvet tips from Korea are quite an interesting eartip.

They cost about $19 USD (https://hifigo.com/products/divinus-velvet) for 3 pairs, and come in 5 sizes. Pretty lint/dust free, with a matte smooth feel.

The inner bore is narrower than the outer bore, though I would still classify it as a wide-bore tip.

They are pretty comfortable for my ears, with above average isolation.

Sound-wise, the Divinus Velvet imparts a neutral bright lilt, and increases air, treble and soundstage. It is a good pairing for darker/warmer transducers, but might not be that synergistic with sibilant IEMs. This is a good option for folks who want to increase treble and clarity in the soundscape.
Do they really help with IEMs with poor ventilation?

All these tips are size large from L to R Sony EP-EX10A, Spiral Dots, Final E’s, SpinFit CP 145 and Coreir hope this helps 👍...

Yes, thanks. I have all of them here myself except for the Sony. I think it's time to place an order for the Coreir :relaxed:

I wonder how the clear differ in sound verse the black?
If you mean the Azla SednaEarfit ...

The black ("regular") ones have a firmer material than the transparent ("light") ones. This leads to slightly more bass due to the better insulation, but probably also to more reflections in the high frequencies. Personally, I find the transparent "light" version somewhat more balanced and use it more often. But that is certainly very individual.

I find the wearing comfort almost the same, although the softer "light" tips are often described as more comfortable.

Are you asking if they help with driver flex?

I think foam tips are better to fix driver flex, as they are porous and will let some air past, instead of crumpling the diaphragm of the driver.

Yeah I was referring to that because I saw in their promotion saying that they help with venting I bought my Tang Sancai for that reason btw thank you for answering:)
