What tips would you recommend for the 600s then? Just got a pair in as I wanted to try them, curious how much of a difference aftermarket options would make.

This is a really helpful list, it's another rabbit hole to go down. It's most important they feel comfortable and seal well but you can tweak the tonality of the IEM a bit by tip rolling.

I use Final E tips because it tames the spicy treble a bit. Other than Final E, many people seem to like AZLA's (multiple models all a little different), Senn IE Pro tips, SpinFits (multiple models, W1 is the newest but may increase treble a bit), Spiral Dots, Spring Tips. The HeadFi IE600 thread has a lot of comments about different eartips.

You can get a lot of eartips off Ali Express for dirt cheap including popular brands if you don't mind the wait. Some like AZLA are expensive everywhere.

I use Final type e tips on the 300s and 900s. They provide good seal and don't come off the nozzle.

Try a bunch of different tips, the sound and comfort will be different in every pair of ears. I try many tips over several weeks and eventually settle on one, JVC Spiral Dots, Comply foam and Sony triple comfort are my most used. Almost all of the most popular and easily obtainable tips fit the Sennheiser IEMs, the absence of that foam insert in the core doesn't seem to make a discernable difference.
