        There’s a lot of good IEM’s that depends on what you want to listen to/do.

        But 100% get custom ear tips for them.

        After trying a bunch of newer earbuds/iems, the ones you have pictured, honestly. Shame they were discontinued. None of the new wireless stuff sounds as good imo. Just ended up buying a handful of those SoundSports off factory resellers on ebay and got a bluetooth dac.

        The akg n400 has a set of pretty small wingtips in the box, though they really only excel in frequency reponse

          The transparency is trash. ANC is fine for me.

        Many of the older Jaybird models had them. I’m currently rocking the X4—sounds good enough, and they stay very securely in my ears.

      No I think op is asking about the side entry half in ear tips. Not the locking wing tips on top.

    The headphone is an ear bud… and the tips can be called many things.

    🪽wingtips or simply a tip with a flange

    Those are either Bose Stayhear tips or Quiet Comfort headphones or knockoffs attached to a random headphone. I had several pairs of the Quiet Comforts a decade ago. Aliexpress claims to still sell them.

    Freaking weird?

    In all seriousness, they’re just a flavour of IEMs with a kind of ear hook. I haven’t been able to find a dedicated name for them, but I have found separate hooks for sale, usually so they can be added to airpods.

    Those I like to call semi in ear buds with wingtips. Their like a cross between IEMs and earbuds. I use to own a pair of bose’s that had those and I will say I miss them some of the most comfortable pieces of gear I’ve owned sounded decent as well.
