Maybe somebody can help me with this, I just bought a pair of IE600’s they are great, super comfortable and sound amazing. I recently tried on a pair of shure 535 and while I didnt like them, the one thing that blew my mind where the tips, they created a perfect seal on my ears, I am talking best noise canceling I’ve ever heard, would’ve been easy to get hit by an ambulance if you werent careful. I dont really understand what tips fit what IEM and which are really advisable to buy. Is it conceivable to recreate such a seal with different tips? If yes could somebody point me to where I can buy them? Any help would be appreciated!

I'd look into hybrid tips such as Symbio W. The inner foam expands to the ear canal and it provides a super seal and isolation without the con of the disposable and itchy nature of foams.

Try Spinfit W1, FiiO HS18, AZLA SednaEarfit XELASTEC, Dunu S&S, etc. ear tips for possibly better fit/seal, noise reduction/isolation, and comfort.

The dimensions/sizing/measurements/etc. for most ear tips these days will be on Amazon/AliExpress/HiFiGo/etc. Unfortunately you have to blind buy the ear tips in order to get a feel for the dimensions/measurement/etc. that you like for your ears. Remember, this will also change with different IEMs as they'll have different nozzle length, nozzle angle, and so on.

This is how you should use Etymotics or really any IEM or TWS earbud to make sure you have that good/perfect fit for that vacuum seal (necessary for the bass to be properly produced): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8KwXEqe6Gq4

Try the Spinfit CP100+, JVC Spiral Dots++. I used them with the IE600, massive improvement over the stock tips.
