    This is a great idea!!!

    I have 4 Comply TX-400s (medium) that I got to try with my Andromedas. They don't do the trick for me. 2 are brand new and 2 were used once.

    I'm looking for the wide bore double flanged tips that came with the fitear that @deafdoorknob recommended. I think they're these ones:

    If anyone doesn't need the medium Spinfits (red) that came with their Andros, I'll take them off your hands. I'll trade for any of the other tips that came with them as I'm only using the Spinfits.

    I've got the spinfits from my Andros and I think a 3 pack I ordered before I realized they were the same tips.

    good luck with your search, i'll ask jaben hk the next time i visit

    in the meantime, this post on HF mentioned the Mee double flange as a potential alternate

    No mention of the Andromeda there (unsurprisingly), but I guess it's an alternative to the fitear double-flange tip.

    BTW, how deep are you inserting them? The first flange in deep and the second flange just making a seal?

    it's not that deep, just that the casing is flush with my pinna, so the body doesnt touch the concha.

    i have small ear canals tho, even final heaven is a difficult fit

    check your head-fi pm :) @gixxerwimp

    What an excellent thread idea. I have to go through my collection. I've thrown away a lot, but I still have a large number I have no use for. I'll get them together and see if anyone wants them. I still have some foamies, double and triple flange. Some small and mediums that will never fit. I predominantly use spin fits, spiral dots, Sony, and rha.

    Well, @deafdoorknob, @Daveheart and myself have made use of this thread. DDK sent me some of his tips to try, but none did the trick for me. I sent them back along with some that I'm not able to use. Dave has just posted some extra stock Spinfits for my Andros.

    Thanks to both!

    Due to some idiocy on my part, I have an open box of Spiral Dot MS and unopened boxes of S, MS and L that I bought to try with my Noble X. The MS didn't work, and I have no M to try because I had a total brain fart when ordering (the 2 boxes of MS are the result of another SNAFU). I went through the stock tips again and it turns out the medium silicone works for me. The seal is OK, especially if I rotate the shells backwards as far as possible. They feel like they're about to fall out, but stay in fairly well and need only a light push if I've moved my jaw a lot.

    The end result is I have the above mentioned Spiral Dots that I'm going to put up for trade for:
    • Spiral Dot M and/or ML (new or used, I don't care - just want to try them)
    • stock Noble X silicone mediums
    • or a donation of US$10 to SBAF for an unopened box (S, MS or L), US$5 for 4 unused MS from the opened box (I will cover postage)
    I'm leaving on vacation for 2 weeks in a couple of days so I won't be able to send them out right away, but PM me and I'll take care of it when I return.


    Updates:
    • @Skyline has dibs on MS (unopened box)
    • @Mystic has dibs on MS (new from opened box)

    I'm looking to do some tip rolling with my CA Orion, I'm mainly looking for the Spiral Dot ML, but others I want to try are: Spiral Dot M, Spinfit (single/double flange)

    Let me know if we can work out a deal! :)

    If nothing works out, I'm planning to get a set of Spiral dot ML, I'll have two extra pairs I can offer to whoever wants them!

    I finally got my spiral dot M (6 tips), and am willing to ship out the other two pairs to anyone who wants them! Just send me a message and I can send them out

    Let me know if nobody claims them @jayeshrc .

    I got a set of MS which I love, but curiosity still makes me wonder if M would be a better fit.

    Glad they're working out for you!

    After my Spiral Dot misordering debacle, I caved and ordered a set of Ms from Amazon, which had free shipping from Japan and arrived very quickly. They fit slightly better than the stock Noble X silicones, but were still a bit loose. Was able to get a more snug fit by turning them into my own silifoam hybrids.
