I have had a vary bad track record with my E4c's. Two out of the last three times I have worn them one of my comply tips has stayed in my ear after I take them out. I thought that maybe it was the complys but the same thing happened today with the grey flex-tips. What is the proper method to remove them?

Try the ol' twist & wiggle.

I'll bet there is wax build-up between the sleeves and nozzle. It acts like grease. You should clean the nozzle approximately once a month.

Remove the sleeve, use a small amount of mild soap (dish detergent works well) and warm water. Clean around the nozzle/stem, being careful to not let water into the nozzle - you don't want to get the internal filter wet.

Wipe it dry, then try to wipe out the inside of the sleeves nozzle. You want to increase the friction as much as possible.

Do both. I clean and when removing, always pull on my earlobe, then twist to remove

I tried the twisting out and pulling on the earlobe. It worked, but I'll clean the nozzle too.

Your skin-oils too can act like a lube, and make the sleeves easier to pull off. At least thats what I found with my e2c.
