Thanks those are the only tips I haven't tried. I read about them in a tip shootout guide, but when I searched them I got a handful of different model numbers so wasn't sure which ones.
Supposedly Sony will release some intermediate sizes too, in January, February. So we will see some XL and ML (medium large) and there is talk on the forums about certain people getting a good fit as either large is too big or large is not big enough. Also new, a range of intermediate sizes down the line.
But large fits fine (for me personally) and because they don’t give any, large can almost feel larger than large in my personal experience. They get the Encore out from touching the side of my ear, and keep it locked down in place, forever it seems. Air-tight too!
I have no issue recommending them wholeheartedly; though as we know tip use is very personal.

There is a photo here which shows the texture of the tips. I had to post the link as the photo can’t be posted. But note the wall thickness and texture, that is the clue you have Triple Comport Tips, nothing out there like them. Cheers!
I asked John yesterday almost immediately after seeing Watagumps post but unfortunately I think the other 2 have been allocated for review/advertising. Can't really blame them as that is the key to boosting sales early on. I am hoping that some trickle on early to the active people in this thread though

I feel very lucky that I get the chance to receive units. I always tell John I don't expect anything from them. In the end I am glad I do get them, it helps me help others decide, it helps Noble and I also get the joy out of using the products, sounds like a win win. I wish I had the skills that great reviewers have with expressing what I hear in more technical terms. In the end, I just say what I hear, I wont lie about a product ever, it also helps if and when I ever work a show for Noble again to be able to help people that show up for listening.
I feel your pain. I have never got on with universals and ended up going custom. I could recommend a couple of UK options for custom tips but if you are not in the UK that's not going to help. If Noble have a recommended audiologist near you they may be able to help.
I meant that it might be possible to get custom tips made. Gisele at Aid2Hearing is Nobles recommended Audiologist and is extremely helpful. ACS also do custom tips for third party IEM's and may be able to help. Snuggs make tips with a 3D scanner and printer. I didn't have much luck with those but did not persevere to be fair.
One of those options might come good... HTH.
Personally if Gisele can do custom tips I would go through her as if you have any fit problems she will get you sorted! And from personal experience her molds fitted perfectly first time.

Yes. That was my experience also. Gisele is the best. To be fair the other two companies were very keen to get a good result.
With Gisele I had one minor refit and was good to go.
