  I could not get good seal using default and Sony Hybrid tips. Spinfit tips do a good job with ED10.
 
 

 
You can always get the larger blue wide-bore spiral tips by checking out the link below.....

.....at least you know they are still the original default tips, but larger to give you the best fit.

I think I have to get myself some spinfits. Already by the look at pics I can tell those fit me very well. Also kind of "mushroom" type like my modded ED9-hybrids. 
 
Just received some ultra soft triple-flange tips and made some of them into two-flanges. Will compare them later. So far, by initial impressions, I would say medium triple flanges suit with ATE very good. Will test also on ANV... that`s why I actually bought them. Here`s the place I bought them: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281672238091?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&var=580677706162&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
 
I took "clear" version. They seem to be softest out of them.
 
Recommended buy!

My friend has Piston 2 and it broke.  Is there a KZ IEM for the same price or less with equal bass quantity that is better, or should he buy another Piston 2?

ED8m. Has deep, thundering bass to offer. Highs are nice and crisp too. Besides providing ample bass, the bass quality is more organic than P2. Weight is an issue but after some use its easy to get accustomed with it. ED8m can easily be worn around the ears and actually more comfortable that way imo...

Thanks, but he doesn't want around the ears; only straight down.

It's straight down only... I just suggested that wearing it around the ear is also possible and is comfortable. Take a look at product page and see if it interests you. From the KZ inventory I personally own, I'd suggest ED8m as a good alternative for any Piston 2 lover.

Any Resemblance is Purely Coincidental?

Does anyone know where to buy KZ IEMs locally in China?  He's visiting Beijing, Jingmen, Wuhan.

Neither triple or bi-flange, shorter or longer configuration (cut neck) doesn`t have any SQ (sub-bass) improvement over ED9 medium grey silicone tips with ANV to my ears.
Back to nozzle-mod "drawing board". But those triple-flanges are nevertheless very good for other IEM`s .

If he visits Guandong he can try any of the cities from their; Shenzhen (electronics capital of China), Guanzhou, Hong Kong, Macau, or other surrounding cities in Guandong. If he's in any other cities like Beijing he can get someone to order them through taobao website and receive them around 3 days, shipped!

Any changes in the sound?

In fact I performed multiple mods, like removing the mesh filter, blocking the vents and opening the back at the same time.
The most radical was the blocking of the vents that brought back the Bass that was somehow missing from my pair. The open back mod may contribute to more "open" sound but not dramatically so. You can do it, but you may damage your pair in the process. It is more for a cosmetic reason I that performed the mod, and because it is fun.

Very nice tsetse7! Grill-mod improves tinybit clarity and soundstage. With silver ATE it removed "hollowness" and had more effect than with black. Maybe difference in plastic material used or just inconsistent quality.

Did You try to correcting tiny filters behind vents? Seems to be quality issue with those filters attachment.

I wonder if a simple online template can be made so that anyone can quickly open it, set the bars and post their opinion. I love this... we should gather data for KZ IEMs based on this template.
Not detailed of course, but fast and intuitive.
