Westone users - how to keep silicone earpieces from sliding off?

[fuzzybabybunny]

I have the Westone W60 and the silicone earpieces slide off all the time:

- When I pull the IEMs out of my ears
- When the cord gets tangled and it pulls on the earpieces
- When the IEMs are in my pocket. The jostling is enough to make the earpieces come off.

As a result, they run a huge risk of getting lost. There's been quite a few moments I've pulled them out of my pockets and realised one of the earpieces is missing and got pulled out of my pocket along with the cord. Luckily I've been able to find the earpiece on the floor immediately, but I'm sure one of these days I won't be so lucky.

Any ideas? I've tried to scotch tape the outside of the barrels to add thickness but that doesn't help at all.

I had this problem with my Pro30s. I ended up just using Spinfits instead. They seal just as good and provide the same amount of comfort. They have never slid off in over a year of use. I also use them on my se215s when working out or traveling.

Fishing tips out of your ear canal is NOT fun and was my impetus to explore a better alternative to the stock ones.
