For my IE600 IEMs, I liked the Spinfit CP145 tips the best for isolation, sound quality and comfort. That said, the Sennheiser nozzles allowed them to slip off relatively easy. I’m using the Azla SednaEarfitLights now, they’re not quite as comfy, but the isolation and sound is good.
Thanks rarewolf! Spinfits are usually very comfortable for me. I will try the CP145.

I've been happy with the Sennheiser IE Pro tips. Thicker than the stock tips yet very comfortable.
I use Sony hybrid tips. I find these stay more securely in the first outer nozzle position.

I agree.. same here.
With my ears canals those are definitely the best fit with IE900 and IE600..
The IE PRO L tips can stay for hours without any change, even if my head is moving or on the side on a cushion.. So with those, I get the full sound frequency range available for hours.
With the Vision EXT the spinfit CP 155 are more suitable for my hears as the drivers noses are oval... I tried them too (with many others) but the IE PRO L tips for the IE900/600 are which I would recommend to try.
The sony's IER Z1R hybrid tips are perfect with the Z1R in my ears, but less stable in my ear canal when they are used with the IE900.

Be sure to try "stage 1" and "stage 2" positions for the stock eartips, as many have found that adjusting the position on the nozzle can make a world of difference.

I’d love to try that but I can never get the stock foam tips to stay in the outer position. Sennheiser should have included rubber spacers.

Perhaps try the next size down or pre squish the tips a bit. If the tips are slipping inwards then obviously the friction between your lug hole and tip is greater than the friction between the tip and the sound tube. I never have this issue but then I use the medium silicone tip and prefer a looser fit.
Azla SednaEarfit Light (the regular version, not the short one) for me too.

Pop down to your local hardware store and grab a couple of rubber grommets, 4.5 mm ID with a 1.5 mm thickness. Costs about 50¢.
I never tried that. Let me try. Thank you!

Hey Guys,
I tried different tips, but couldn’t get proper fit. It’s my ears. Only a very few IEMs work well with my ears. I’m thinking about selying IE900. It’s just been a week since I bought. Less than 3 hours of usage. If you are interested please DM me. $1400 (including shipping). Thanks for all the suggestions!
