I got some Comply tips for my Titaniums, and I gotta say, they are a huge improvement over the silicone tips in terms of comfort. I feel like they're a bit bassier with the foam tips too, maybe because of better seal.
Just got the MandarinE's Symbio Hybirid Wide bore tips for my Be's and they're the best tip I've tried so far. They have the sound and fit security of spiral dots with superior comfort and slightly better isolation. I just wore them continuously on a flight from Chicago to Austin (~3 hours) and never felt the need to take them out, which was great because there was an infant directly behind me.

I am pleased to join the Periodic family of users! I have just acquired a Be and find it to be a fine performer. I am almost embarrassed to admit that it sounds more lifelike than many phones I have previously purchased for *FAR* greater cost! I find that for me, the UE900 large tips (green core) work best both for fit and for sound. I really look forward to exploring the capabilities of this remarkable phone!
While I am really enjoying my Be, I also found the lack of identification between the L & R earpieces to be a minor annoyance as well as the lack of a chin slider. Below is my totally reversable solution to both: A very small O-ring that I slid onto one earpiece after removing the tip and a small length of spring snipped from a ball-point pen spring. I then threaded each cable through the spring one at a time. The spring slides easily but holds a given position quite well.
Cost: 4 cents for the O-ring and one discarded ball-point pen!

Agree, the weight is very negligible for me. Very nice and lightweight due to the plastic body. You can really forget they are there. Actually forgot they were there yesterday after the music had ended. I'd been walking around with them in for an additional 20-30 min or so.
Each IEM weighs approximately 2.87 grams; the cable adds another 3.15 grams. Weight is the number one source of physical ear discomfort over time, so we strive for extreme light weight and use different materials and shape optimization to provide the rigidity needed for correct audio reproduction.

We have B stock still (a few left), but most of our dealers have new stock on-line. We'd prefer if you buy from the guys who keep this industry rolling, the independent dealers and distributors worldwide.
