Yes, I've tried the star tips, the largest wouldn't seal for me. Just sliding on outta there. :-/
First place to look when you can't find your keys or are looking for spare change.. Shop clerks often display a surprised look on their face when I pull a fiver out of my ears..
I should have mentioned: If you use one particular IEM a lot, then custom silicone tips (such as sold by Custom Arts) are a valid option. The main reason I haven't bought them yet for my BlueBuds X is that I wear them usually with the cable over my ears, but need to switch them to the more precarious front position if I want to answer a call -- otherwise, the microphone is behind my ear too. Custom silicone tips would make such switching difficult or impossible.
I usually use Sony Hybrids size LL.
Have you found a source for the Sony LL hybrids other than in the EX1000 and EX600 packages. Once, I was able to order one pair for $40 from a parts distributor and of course, one tore while putting it on the first time. Fortunately for me, I can get away with an L in my right ear and only need the LL in my left. That helps stretch the supply.
For Westone, Shure, and Earsonics, I use the largest Westone Star tips with good success. For Audeo PFE, I use the large Audeo tips, even though the Westones fit, the Audeos fit better.
I just got a set of the Large UE tips sold as replacements for the TF10 from this page: just click on the size large to get to them. Thet are working woderfully with several of my iems, including the 1plus2 and the 334s - thanks to whoever it was who recommended them here on Head-Fi. Kudos - they work wonderfully.
Highly recommended
