Same here. Wondering if Spiral Dots do the same thing and if it's just the nature of silicon tips...eventually stretch out and fall out over time

It's more to do with the lack of a "lip" of the end of the nozzle to help keep the tip secure.

I’ve always preferred Spinfits, but I’ve found that the tips tend to slide off the universals (ESR & Bravado). I’ve had to pick the eartips out of my ear a few times.

Yah, I found I had to replace the tips fairly often to prevent that. I once had a tip get stuck in my ear near the beginning of a 5-hour plane ride, and I dropped it when trying to remove it. The plane was dark and I couldn't find it. I basically just cried the rest of the flight, unable to listen to music or watch a movie. That's when I decided to go custom. :D

Foamies can slip off nozzles as well. It's not just silicon tips.

Quite. I've made it an unofficial policy of mine not to buy iems with some way to keep the tips on securely. I've had more than enough of taking an iem out of my ear when a supervisor wants a word at work and found the tip left in my ear. Well that and the fact that no iem seems to fit properly anyway!

That happened to me too. Now just Customs.

I had hard time to find the tips for Angie II. That is why I just went to custom for Spartan and Phantom. Valkyrie will be soon.

I tried many tip with my Angie II and ended up ordering a custom A12t and Legend X to be followed by a custom Phantom in the future.

Excellent choices. I’d like the Trio SQ though but can’t afford right now.

I picked the A12t over the Trio, because I already was getting a Legend X. Did not want two IEMs with dynamic drivers as I wanted more diversity.

Valkyrie/Wraith launch event today in Korea - hope I get to try it!

Time for a Tri-brid. You've already got a BA + open BA and a hybrid
