How do they compare size wise to sony hybrids. A med. sony fits me best, so would a med. s-dot fit the same

Is it possible to get the spiral dot tips at non absurd prices yet? $10-15 is my max and that's just because of their quality. $30 for tiny specs of silicone is nuts.
Exactly my thoughts, spiral dots cost too high!
Oh and btw I was also unable to spot any original Sony Hybrids online... does anybody know where to get the originals?
I just bought a box on eBay for $16 shipped, iirc I paid even less last time.
I'm on my phone so can't link now but search for:
GENUINE Victor JVC EP-FX9M
They're worth it
The sizes are about them same, but the Spirals are stubbier.
My biggest concern with the Spiral Dots is the soundstage. I was surprised to find that my Xiaomi Pistons 2 ear-tips not only fit well with the B3's, but sounded fantastic too. Compared to the Sennheiser double-flanges the Xiaomi tips had a little more warmth, sligthly smoother treble, but more importantly a slightly smaller soundstage. The Sennheisers are still the best IMO but weren't very comfortable so the Xiaomi's were the perfect solution as they didn't compromise the sound like the Sony hybrids and the standard white silicone and red/grey tips did. The Xiaomi's were perfect except for their soundstage so I'm just worried I''ll pay over $20 for tips that won't be as good as the Sennheiser tips. Any advice @Wokei
? Got any tips for me? Get it, tips... Thanks!!
How about material thickness? One thing I don't like about the sonys is that the silicone is thicker/stiffer and tend to make it far too easy to hear my own heartbeat during quiet passages (this is compared to the stock pfe tips, which are great except they don't fit nearly as well on my gr07be as my pfe111).
I tiprolled it quite a bit, trying senn double flanges, sony hybrids, SHE3590s, tenore tips and for now settled on stock large sized red-gray tips.
What are the best eartips for the B3 Pro I?
From the tips I've used I think the Sennheiser double-flanges get the best soundstage and imaging out of the B3's as well as a very neutral signature. But if you ever get to try the (very good) Xiaomi Pistons 2.0 those tips will keep the soundstage of the Senneisers, for the most part, but add a bit warmth too. Like I said earlier, it makes for a really pleasant sound that's both very spacious and warmer but much more comfortable (for me at least). I highly recommend that you give 'em a try, especially since the Pistons practically cost as much as JCV's Spiral Dot tips alone.
