Thanks anyway for help!
 
It seems like if the silicone "umbrella" is too thin and doesn't have enough tension to make the seal. Maybe some ear hair? Its a 1st for me, all my other silicon tips seal ok, but we are all different, right? 

 
Regards

My pleasure! Ive gotta ask, do the stock Comply's just not work for you? I remember that they gave me the best seal. Obviously, YMMV.

Yes they work. I have the opportunity to listen music along the day at work but I'm often interrupted (phone, etc), silicon tips are so convenient and fast to fit, that's why I use them 95% of the time. I am pleased with the JVC spiral dots but I just can't stay steady.
 
My lack of luck (in this case) will be someone else luck...

Spingits were a no-go for me too. If you like westone startips they can be made to work with Angies.

I'm having a hard time using my Angies for more than 20 mins. My ears start to hurt. I've tried stock Comply, medium Comfort Comply, small Comfort Comply. My ears quickly start to ache. Even the medium spin fits hurt after a short while.

I've never gotten a good seal with any size of SpinFits.  I did much better with SpiralDots. Though the best I've found are a hybrid you can find on eBay, a Sony tip sold in Japan.  Silicon outside around a foam inside.  Finally settled on M left and L right.  Though right now I'm using my UERM C/IEM as I just got it resized so not fighting with tips at all.

After you order you can include a note.  Write what size you want there.  Pretty quick shipping to the US West Coast from Japan, 7-10 days.

Didn't know of these hybrid tips - thanks, they look great. I looked for the size but did't find any mention, as you have M and L, can you check the outside diameter in mm? (aprox.) - around 13 mm is fine for me.

Looks like 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, assuming I did it correctly.  I use Small Spinfits with my Angie, but I use Large Comply with my Angie.  Lots of variables involved.
 
Why not email the seller and ask him the "official" size?  He's quite nice.

Thanks for feedback @olddude
 
For now that gave me an idea and I'll try some "surgery" on some of the smaller foam tips I don't use, trying to fit a section inside spiral dots. I'm very pleased with spiral as they are, I'll do this just for fun (did I say before I can't get steady?) and test if they get even better in isolation, as far as SQ isn't affected.

My JVC Hybrids, isolation is TOP, more later...

[Edit]
Trimmed +1mm of the foam to get a straight, cleaner cut, and make the whole thing a bit softer. I feel a bit more grip and isolation really improved, can't say for sound but seems the same for the 1st minutes - I guess it works

Guys, Just in case you've missed it, JH Audio announced the availability of the 4 pin balanced cable on their site. Price is $US 150
I think its the same cable bundled with Angie II, made by moon audio.

  just got a new SpinFit TwinBlade CP220. It's pretty big but the seal is so much better than JVC Spiral Dot. Also, the bore is pretty tight. It shouldn't slide off easily like others tips. http://www.mtmtshop.com/products/spinfit-cp220-free-shipping
 

 

 

 
Any reviews on the new Spinfit Twin Blade?
 
Thanks

So I got the Westone star tips to fit after seeing the pictorial evidence in this thread. It's easy. Flip the flange up to invert it and expose the core. Force the lip of the core over the Angie shaft then twist back and forth to slide it down. Flip the flange back down. Takes a minute for each with little effort.

Take care not to grip the Angie too firmly and keep your fingers away from the cable connection.

I have been using Comply foam TX500 with the JH Angies. Tried Spinfit tips and while the sizing was okay, its not as comfortable + less isolation.

 

[olddude]

Foam vs. silicon.  I could never get a seal with SpinFits.

Have you tried to put them upside down (right)  to avoid tunneling effect (left)? I recommend it.
