I use a particular pair of earbud tips with my VSonic VSD3S  which I have no idea of the brand, but they give me the best bass out of all my various tips. I don't think they came with the VSonics, I found them amongst my collection of tips. 
 
 
Here you can see the ones I use attached to the VSonics, and those are the ones I want to get more of. The ones in the bag I returned as they're too shallow and with too large a hole.
 

 
 
 
 
So I bought some other ones, Xcessor, in large size.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/Xcessor-Replacement-Silicone-Compatible-Headphone/dp/B006XGJMEK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466031052&sr=8-1&keywords=sony+IEM+tips
 
 
But they're STILL not quite as large as mine, and the hole is also not as small. I think the smaller the hole, the more bass, right? So the bass on these Xcessors, although decent, just isn't as deep as mine.
 
 
In these two pics, mine are the larger of the two, on the right. Does anyone have any idea which tips would match mine exactly and where to get them in the UK?

Thanks oldmate, I'll check them out, They look similar, certainly. The problem is, after buying two different tips that looked like mine, it's hard to know what will be the correct ones now. Perhaps someone who has the same Xcessor tips and obviously knows the size, might then know of something slightly larger with a smaller gauge sound hole. I took some photos last night against a ruler. I wonder if anyone seeing them might get a better idea. I can say that the sound holes on mine are 4mm across, and the Xcessor is 5mm, so I'm looking for 4mm. From my photos,, it looks like mine are 14mm wide by 9.5mm high. The Xcessors seem to be 12mm wide by 8.5 to about 9mm high. Mine are on the right in these photos, glossier black.

You sure are attached to those tips mate!! I can understand it though - some tips suit an individual to a tee. Might be time to try some tip rolling - plenty of tips out there without buying the name brands like spinfits etc which BTW are $35.00 here for 2 pairs. No thanks.
 
I just purchased some of these to try;

You can find a lot of them on fleabay.

Lol yeah,  I am rather attached to them. Those tips in your second link look similar.


 


Someone on another forum I visit is kindly sending me some tips he doesn't use (apparently bundled with his vsonic  GR06) which he says are the same measurements as mine so fingers crossed! Heh yeah, no way I'd pay $35 for 2 pairs of tips, I'll leave that sort of madness to fanatics that would pay  hundreds for a bit of cable. Not sure what tip rolling involves.

They appear to me as third party tips you can find for beats earphones. Search on eBay USA for 'eartips' as they have the widest range listed which are still sellers listing from China. See if you can find them.
