Etymotic Foam Eartips, Black - 10 Pack - Standard Fit

This product has changed. The foam they are using is not what is shown in the image and does not match the previous Etymotic foam eartip material. The previous foam could be compressed into a narrow shape that would very slowly expand in your ear, giving you time to insert it and create an appropriate seal. This new foam cannot be compressed. You have no time to insert it into your ear, because it regains its shape instantly. Instead you have to attempt to jam a fully expanded foam eartip into your ear. This new material hurt my ear canal terribly after I finally got it in, due to friction and pressure. Not fit for purpose, a complete dud. Make these like you used to, please!

The new version is made out of different foam that seems like it would be better, however it is more dense springs back in shape more full and causes more pressure in the ear canal making them painful to wear. Bring back the old foam being used. It reminded me of old school yellow ear plugs for doing yard work and they had perfect fit. Don’t fix something not broken

Much more comfortable than the original ones that come with the earplugs.

These used to be a foam that, while textured to feel stiffer, was way more pliable. The foam is different, and they do not hold a given shape. They balloon in my ear and cause painful pressure in longer listening sessions, uncomfort in shorter sessions.

These used to be so good but it looks like they changed the type of foam they use. Hurts my ears after a couple minutes now :(

these little headphones are a lifesaver. hearing protection and entertainment in one. fit under your hat in the winter and keep you from sweating with regular earphones in the summer

the item i received wasn't the item as advertised. the item advertised is a soft foam ear tip. it looks to be made of the same type of material that would be used in some weather stripping. this material allows sound to come from an earpiece but also allows ambient sound. the item i received is a memory foam material that blocks ambient sound.

The tips do well. I just do not like it come with in bulk package - just a labeled zipper bag.

These are really good It seems as though I’m going against some of the other reviewers here, but I do like the change in material These feel a little more like the foam used in westone tips now They do ‘spring’ back to size, but they fit really well (I’m using them on my Shure SE 215’s) I’ve not done a gig in them yet, but will do very soon (hence the purchase) I’m hoping they last longer than the older style ones that would perish quite quickly (maybe that’s why they changed them.. 🤔) Anyways, so far so good 👍⭐️ Sorry the other users didn’t like them so much…
