Memory foam tips on ebay....generic from China, $4 -$6/3pair. Much cheaper than comply. I'm thinking that foam is foam, but who knows? Anyone know if these are any good?

i use these

i think they work pretty good
they don't have the inner plastic core
that the complys have, but you get a good seal
 
10 bucks for 25 pairs

I don't know . . . the lack of the rubber core means much of the sound would be dampened by the porous foam the second it leaves the nozzle. I suppose it could be useful for overly bright IEMs, but otherwise I think there are better options out there.

There are also Monster foam tips which has silicon cores as to not change sound. The mediums will compress down to medium even if they look large but to me are big enough to fit those who normally use large comply. $10 for 6pr from Amazon Prime (free ship w membership):

Have they changed their foams to be more flexible over the years?  I've found them too stiff and unforgiving when I tried them a few years back.

Are you talking about  the Gel version or the Foam version? The foam version is super soft, softer than comply. The gel version I don't find that good because it is too stiff and doesn't compress (although if you get the perfect fit with the gel I think they can work very well, I don't).

These sound pretty good, but how can you tell if the silicon core will fit the earphone speaker stem.....specifically for me, the Fidue A71?

They're made for Monster headphones, so you can use that as a reference. Monster takes Comply 200s, so if the A71 takes comply 200s, it should be compatible with the Monster sleeves.

they have a coating on them so as to not be porous
worth giving a try
imho

The A71 takes comply 400, so it seems like they won't fit.

I bought one of these: http://www.monsterproducts.com/Monster_SuperTips_Sampler_Pack_with_Gel_and_Foam_Tips
I found the super foam tips to be too firm for me with very little give.  The gels are just odd.

I found those Monster Foam tips to be too firm for me as well. Maybe I have to use them a bit more before they soften up? Who knows, but I'm usually fine with silicone tips

For those who bought Audeo PFE232 or any Audeo product from earphone solution on blsck friday, I just contacted Phonak and they told me they no longer cover the warranty for those earphones.


"We regret to inform you that Phonak AG has discontinued the production and distribution of Phonak Audeo PFE as well as spare parts, therefore no more sales and repairs are possible and therefore we do not offer any warranty.



Thank you for your understanding."
