I don't know if anyone else has this problem but I've been having issues lately with ear tips. When I put my iems on initially, I have no trouble getting a good fit but after an hour or so of listening, the silicone tips literally slip out of my ear which results in a very poor seal. It feels as though my ear canals get wider after a while. I have to assume that it's not the problem with the silicone tips as using multiple variety of tips yielded the same result. Anyone have any suggestions on how I could stop this from happening?

As gross as this may sound, it's likely due to sweat/wax that collect after an while. Sweat more so than wax. It happens even on my customs. My suggestion would be to get foam tips, as they handle moisture better than silicon tips.

yeah I guess I'll get some foam tips. I've always been sort of wary of them because people always complain that they can muffle the sound of the earphone. But I'll gladly take that over this.

Some tips can open up the sound, while some can muffle the sound. You just have to try a couple and see what works.
