Shure e2c tip size question.
 

picked up a pair on ebay for roughly $60 less than in the shop here in UK.

Got them today. I love them! Sound is absolutely fantastic. I still like my koss but with the Shure I can get spare foam or plastic tips.

Anyway - here comes the question.

I am currently using the flexi tip size small. It feels like the headphones keep sliding out my ears all the time, and I don't get the full range of the sound. Am I using the wrong size tip?

Other than that - I can hear absolutely nothing of what goes on around me. It's quite weird to be this isolated from the rest of the world.

Experiment. I use the compressible foam tips, small size and that works great for me. I was using the medium but on longer flights - 9+ hours - it was not completely comfortable. Personally, I don't like the silicone tips so much, but others swear by them.

Always use the compressible yellow foam tips. They're better in every respect (except that they get a litlle nasty lookng after a while and need to be replaced rather than cleaned. I have a bag of 20 replacement tips at home).

i personally find the E 3 's better than the E2C's.... for spares try , if my memory serves me right studiospares in london , thats where i got my last tips from ....

I sometimes put the foam tips through the wash in a the pocket of a pair of jeans or in a net bag. Works.

Best thing to do with e2c's is to get the triple flanged rubber tips made for the e3/e4's; they need a little trimming but make a world of difference.

I use the E4's. But I have lost all the extra tips that came with them.

Is there a good place to buy replacements?

I got a boatload for next to nothing off ebay for my E2Cs...

A quick Google search has many hits. Here's just the first - http://earplugstore.stores.yahoo.net/sheaandmoac.html

I also got a bag of 20 off Ebay, but there don't seem to be any cheap ones out there right now.

Laptop Lane at DFW has them (saw you were an AA flyer).

I like the triple conical ones, although they get a bit nasty too. If you like the 2s/3s, the 4s will blow you away. I can only imagine what the 5s are like (just upgraded from 3s to 4s).

I can't recall if it was from Shure themselves or Head-Fi but I ordered an assortment pack of eartips to see which ones fit best. The triple-flange pieces do offer the best seal but I find 'em uncomfortable and use the grey soft flex sleeves in Medium.

IMO the Fit Kit is what you need.

It came with a fit kit. I guess I'l have to experiment with finding the right tip.

And thanks for hints on how to keep the tips clean.

Can you elaborate on that? I'm looking at my e2cs and a pair of triple-flange sleeves intended for the e3s right now, and I can't see how it could work.
