I agree with your first thoughts. Depending on what size you need, I'll send you a pair of the westone star tips I use for free. Much better than the foams.
thank you for the offer, I just ordered 5 pairs of the star tips assorted sizes and some Audeo silicone tips. will have those tuesday. after shoving the foam tips on harder getting a bit better highs, less bass tho.
hard to believe how bad the included tips are.
