How long do you guys keep these before replacing them? I've been using them for about two weeks now and they seem to be getting really dirty... They also smell like ear wax. Eww.

you should do a search up with the parameters "foamies" or "shure foamies"

you'll find quite a few threads.

when i first got my e4cs, i used the stock foams for 2 weeks (after constant washing). instead of buying them, i decided to make my own (pics inside one of those threads).

you can wash your foams with warm water and soap, and they'll be clean again. i would say you could do this about 3-4 times until the foam is just fubar.

fyi, the E-A-R foam that i used to make my own set is much more dirt resistant than the stock shure foamies (they hardly even get dirty).

Are the Comply foamies (http://earphonesolutions.com/cocatiforum2.html) coated with a protective substance?

do complys fit UE and Shure IEMS?

i notice that my foamies become to the point where they don't expand in my ears. Then i replace them (bought a 20 pack), and about a week or 2 later, the old ones have fully extended and are ready for another go round. Usually a set of foamies can be used twice, probably 5 to 7 sessions each time.

I always used Comply tips with my E4Gs, Muck. They're far superior to the stock foamies.
