So, I'm having some real difficulty finding tips that actually work for me. So far (apart from all the stock ones which don't work at all for me), I've tried the Sony Hybrids (whatever the regular Sony ones are) and then Spin fits, both, small, medium, and then small bi-flange and large bi-flange. The best so far are the small regular, although I guess I need to work on how to insert them, but I'm still having difficulty with having a good fit. I love the FLC sound and the tips are the only problem for me. Should I try spiral dots? I was thinking of getting MS sized to start and see what I feel about them.
Also I was considering trying getting Custom IEM tips for these - does anyone have experience with this? I previously did get a custom IEM made for me (JH audio 3 I think) but they never worked out for me. First of all the sound isn't that great and I had to actually get it remolded twice and sent it back quite a few times because the seal wasn't working on one ear. In fact they're still currently not sealing as I gave up on them.
Having said that, any suggestions or ideas? I figure I could also try comply, but having used them in the past, they're such a pain to insert and take out and probably would be unusable. Not to mention to degradation over time. Thanks for help!
Spiral Dots are a good option, though they are a little short for the nozzle, so you have to insert the earpieces a little further than normal. They're a tiny bit loose, too. But very comfortable and to my ears they don't hurt the sound.
Symbio W tips are also a good option. They might especially be a good try for you because you can choose various sizes, and you can remove the foam if the hybrid (silicon stuffed with foam) feel doesn't work for you. They fit perfectly on the FLC8S.
You can also get a combo pack of the Meelec M6 Pro tips, with single, double & triple flange options. These are as long (if not a bit longer) than the stock tips and are a little tight to get on the nozzle (kind of a narrow bore).
Finally, if you haven't given up on foam tips entirely, the Crystal Tips (v2) from lendmeurears.com are far superior to Comply. You'd want the medium core ones.
Luckily a lot of tips with a wider bore fit the FLC8S, so if you see some that might work for you, it's probably worth giving it a try. AliExpress is a wonderland.
Hope this helps. (I've done a ridiculous amount of tip rolling with the FLC8S.)
