    I'll try out other DD IEMs and see how they compare to my JVCs.

    It will come with large and small triple flange silicone and a variety of sizes for double flange silicone. All of which can be cleaned with alcohols pads.

    As far as foam, Comply P series or Westone True-Fit. Here is a link to the Westones: https://www.westone.com/store/music/accessories/tips/true-fit-foam-eartips-black
    There are other sizes as well. I happen to use this one.

    I'd be interested in giving these a go if it's still open, thank you.

    I'm not much of an IEM listener as I usually have fit issues, but the few times I've tried Etys I haven't had a problem, I don't THINK I have a problem with deep insertion (I haven't tried for long periods) and the only thing I didn't like about the Etys I demoed was the lack of bass. It sounds like these might be the ticket for me.
