I was one of the lucky ones that got the TF 10s from the Amazon $95 deal.  I'm having a hard time finding a good set of tips to use with them.  Thus far, the Sony hybrids are working best for me.  However, the right ear piece tends to work itself loose after a short time.  Has anyone tried the Monster supertips with the TF 10?  If so, how well does this combination work?  I prefer silicone tips over foam.  Thanks.

I agree. I went from using monster gel tips to sony hybrids. The fit is a bit more difficult with the supertips since they are more rigid, and the sound quality doesn't improve any

Thanks for the replies.  It sounds as if I should just stick with the Sony hybrids.  I also tried some bi-flanges that I had bought off of ebay a while back and they didn't work very well.  I wonder if Shure or Audeo silicone tips would work well?  I might try them some day.

Shure E2C soft flex tips are another possible option. Back in the day when I had a pair of E2Cs, they worked very well for it. I just ordered a pair of small tips from eBay, going to see how they work for the TripleFis and Turbine Coppers.

Decored shure olives works marvelously on TF10s for me, great isolation/comfort. You can always take a decored foam and place it inside a silicon tip for better isolation if you don't like the feel of foam.

I've found the most comfortable are the Sennheiser foam tips, though recently bought a set of monster supertips foams, pretty comfortable, well more comfortable than the stock silicones.

You might try a different sized tip on the right nozzle. Maybe move up a size?


Actually, I use a large tip on the right ear. Stepping down to medium yields a more inferior seal. I think I'm in between medium and large on the right.

Monster large triple flange tips  are the only tips that lock the tf10s into my ears and they sound great on them, other tips just slide out after a while or when i move my face mussels .

I think a better question would be if the tips and your ears are a good combination, not the tips and the earphones.  As long as the tips fit the nozzle, there's no difference other than how well they suit your ears.  
Interestingly enough, I found that the single flange silicone tips that came with my tf10's were the very best I had ever used and seal better than all of my other tips (which I have plenty of).  But that's just me.

Oddly enough, I find the clear metro-fi tips to work incredibly well with the TF10 (which is strange since they are pretty much the same). I cant compare them to the stock tips since I somehow misplaced them, but switching from the comply to the new tips provided better comfort and seal.
 
I'm honestly wondering if my ears got used to the TF10's; I havent had any issues with the fit, unlike the initial impressions I had of them

Well, after much experimentation, Sony hybrids win. I might try supertips in the future though for kicks.
