Patiently waiting on Comply to release their foam tips. Hopefully it won’t be that much longer, though.
I'm using small Comply tips under small APP tips. While they fit well and the case closes as normal, I'm finding the Comply foam to be quite firm such that it's hard to compress them enough to allow for expansion and resulting good fit (APP oval tip shape doesn't help, as it's hard to do 'roll' motion).
For those who've tried both Comply and Symbio, are the Symbios any softer?

Which comply tips are you using? I am using their TW tips underneath and they are not too firm.

After much experimentation, so far I like the Symbio medium with medium APP tips and Symbio large with large APP tips for daily usage. I ordered a MLL (Medium, Large, Large) set. I am still deciding on M vs L or a mix. Right ear seems a bit larger. For very loud environments or wanting better NRR, I use these custom tips I made and posted previously, but there is a decrease in quality;

I ordered Symbio Medium size on December , 18. In the meanwhile I switched to my S size. Do you think I can even use the M site in S Original tips?
don’t want to place another order and waste other 12$ (and waiting 3 weeks or so).
they have just 1mm difference in width..

might be the same but to me, they are not. the pics don’t show the filter in the middle. the other ones from china showed a membrane or filter inside the tip, like apple’s.UK stock now:

edit: now that i look at the ones from china, which i ordered, i don’t think they actually have a filter either. the pics are deceiving but on close inspection i don’t think they have any ear wax filters. probably a waste of money imo. apple included the filter for a reason.

It might be snug and show more orange. From the Med. & Lg. I have, they seem to correspond well to the Med. & Lg. of the APPs.
my original small tips, the one i had on my right app, was faulty and easily disconnected. i removed the app from my ear and the tip stayed in. i was nervous for a minute, the tip was lodged perfectly in my ear. but it was easy to get out. it was a good confirmation that the small tip was the perfect size. btw, apple sent me a replacement pair.
I am trying the medium APP tips with the large Symbio foam and its pretty good.

I have both the large and medium Symbios and the large symbols work well with the large tips and the medium Symbios work well with both the large and medium tips
I meant the seal that isolates outside noise. I have also been comparing them with the noise cancelation off to see how well they seal and block outside sound. I am not sure about the large Symbios in the medium tips after wearing them for a while. I think the compression that the medium tip puts on the large foam makes them a little hard and uncomfortable after a while.
These are some very ingenious mods!
Yabadabadoo - where did you get the threaded stud and how did you fasten it to the bud?
Thanks
(Should have mentioned I'm looking at something to use in my hobby woodworking shop - so need maximum NRR. I tried Isotunes FREE that work well for isolation and sound quality but they are supposed to be sound limited to 85dB but seem to be a bit below this so may look at APP with better NRR.)

Im starting to think I will never receive these. Im going to ask eBay for a refund.
Edit: Just went to ebay and looked at the purchased page and the tracking says they arrived in the USA on the 12th and is expected for delivery on the 16th. Not to be negative but I am prepared to be disappointed because I don’t think the have the earwax guard.

How long did the Symbio tips take to get to you? I ordered mine Jan 8 and haven't heard anything about it.
Anyone had a go at these??? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B083BG56LF/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_VmxhEbV3Q9HX2
I’m contemplating but might order some up.
