Well I'm still using the stock tips...
Speaking of which, is it just me or do these tips from "LostEarBuds" look darned near the same as the stock 9963 IEM tips?

I know the black silicone tips from the same seller have been previously recommended, but I wanted to get the clear ones to match the white IEMs. However I'm concerned that said tips on ebay may in fact be the exact same tips as the stock ones.
*sigh* It'd be nice if I wasn't the only person that owned the 9963 IEMs considering that, other than some no-name white IEM tips and the stock 9927 tips, I own no tips to compare the stock 9963 tips to... Come on, where are the guys that randomly spend like $200 on some headphones just so they can compare them to another set?
EDIT: I
may have been a bit of a derp. I just scrubbed and cleaned the medium sized stock 9963 tips and they're already quite a bit more comfortable than they were when I tried them before cleaning. We'll see if that lasts for more than a few minutes however...
EDIT 2: It's been about an hour of constant use and no itchiness or discomfort yet...
Speaking of which, just how frequently should one clean non-foam tips? It's been about 2-3 weeks but I don't use them all that much, I use them in bursts usually. Some days I don't use them at all but others I'll use them for hours.
EDIT 3: Oh great, now even more people are going to buy the black 9927 IEMs instead of the white 9963 IEMs. >_> Monoprice has the 9927s on sale for $6.06 but the 9963s are still at full price:
