I find that the provided eartips do not sit well in my ear. Especially while doing physical work/going to the gym. It seems the inside of my ear gets moist and I loose the seal. I'm looking for some replacement/mods that would stick in better. I'm also under the impression that my ear canal is kind of short

because I can't seem to push very far before it hurts.

Thanks!

If it hurts, that may mean, that you're using too big of a size. Also, try the foam tips.

Have you tried the flip mod? If not do a search.

flip mod, and then use double flange or foam

Well, I did the flip mod as recommanded and it is definately better. Before, the monitor would just pop right out of my ear.

I was only able to try the foam for a few minutes. When I tried to remove them, the inside ring just came out and I didn't find them super comfortable. Of course, that was before the mod. Havn't been able to try it again. The dual flange is not too bad, but it does slip out over a short time, especially if i'm moving my jaw. Also, one of the double flange tip ripped at the top. Must have pulled a bit too hard on removing them.

if that happens, it just means that the double flange is a little too small. you should try the medium tip or the large tips

You're wearing it over the ear, right?

Get some of the Shure Black olive foamies. Place them on a screwdriver (or like implement) and kind of roll/peel them off their inner plastic sleeves. Then take the inner sleeve out of the SF foamies and stick it in the Olives. You can also try to stretch out the inner sleeve on the olives, but that didn;t work for me.

I had the same problems as you with the double flanges. Once you start to sweat, they start to slip. Just did a long elliptical workout last night with the black olives and didn't experience any slippage at all.

When you talk about those black olives, is this what you are talking about?New Shure Variety E2c Ultra Flex Sleeves EA506A PA749A en venta en eBay.es (finaliza el 13-mar-08 20:00:38 H.Esp)

Sorry, I'm new to IEM so I don't know the "lingo"!

Remember, they will not fit on the SF3s out of the box. You need to either stretch them (there's a big thread on getting them to fit the SFs) or remove the inner sleeves.

Here's the thread on all the ways people try to get them to fit.

Thanks! That's exactly what I was looking for. Now I just have to figure out what size is best and mod away!

i would say go with mediums, as you usually can't go wrong with picking one that's not the smallest and not the largest.
