Zotech 6 Pair Memory Foam Replacement Earbuds, Ear Tips for JayBird BlueBuds X, X2 & X3 Sport Headphones (Small)

No substitute for Comply Sport tips
I purchased both the Zotech and ALXCD Jaybird replacement tips in hopes of finding a cheaper alternative to the Comply Sport tips I've grown accustomed to. Unfortunately, neither does the job.First off, neither has SweatGuard to protect the driver. You can see straight down the hole to the metal. I'm not sure if that's potentially damaging, but I imagine if sweat gets down there, it could at the very least affect performance.More importantly, neither molds to your ear canal the way Comply does. This is easily tested by squeezing the different tips and seeing how long they take to return to form.The ALXCD tips are the worst. They bounce right back, pretty much instantly. I couldn't get even a slight seal using the same size tips I buy from Comply (medium).The Zotech tips are slightly better, taking maybe a second to recover. I got a little more bass, but none of the occlusive effect "thump" that you hear when walking or running with a good seal.The Comply tips take a good 5-10 seconds depending on how hard you squeeze them. This is annoying when you're waiting for them to grab your ear canal so you can get on with your life, but it pays off in a reliable seal that only gets better after you warm up.So there goes $14 on a failed experiment, which I don't regret considering I'm about to plop down another $20 for three sets of Comply Sports tips.

Better than my Comply ear tips
Bought these for my Jaybird X3's when after a year my Comply ear tips fell apart. Can't bring myself to pay $20 for Comply brand little foam ear tips so I bought these. I actually like these better than the Comply brand ones. They fit my Jaybird X3's really well (although replacing my old ear tip pulled the metal casing apart and destroyed my speaker, but that's on poor build quality on Jaybird) so I bought X4's to replace them and actually used these ear tips instead of the comply versions provided with the X4's and I like these better.And the price is right even if they fall apart in 6 months. So far so good.

Good noise isolation but costs in comfort and sound quality
Upon using these, which I bought in Medium, I noticed they isolate outside noise better than stock. However, there is a noticeable loss of low frequency (read, boom-boom) due to the non-tapered fit into ear canal. This causes the earpieces to be constantly retreating out of the ear. I guess I could try a smaller size, however, I'm guessing it could still be a compromise. Guessing they should have done a more tapered or fitting product. Will be using in the meantime, I guess.

Work ok for budget shoppers
You definitely get what you pay for. These are not as comfortable and don't stay in as well as the more expensive brands. I didn't notice any difference in sound quality but I use my earbuds for running so I need something I know will stay in. If you've ever used earplugs you know how these are supposed to fit. They don't squish and stay as well to insert them so they can expand like they're supposed to. They aren't uncomfortable but with a better brand you really can't tell they're even there. If price is an issue for you then these will do the job but I would recommend opting for the Comply brand. I tried these and then ordered those. I put them on Jlab air true wireless and they fit ok. One did come off in my ear when taking the bud out but it's easy to get out. Not a huge deal. They didn't fall off while using them.

My Mistake
This was completely my mistake but I just assumed these were the silicone ear buds and I was super disappointed when I opened the package. I realize I didn’t read the title though so I’m not knocking off stars for that. However, I did try them anyways and the small tips felt like they were a large. There was no way I could get them to squish into my ear. It is a great value though for someone who is use to the memory foam tips though and the quality was good.

Better than my Comply Foam for 6.5x less money!
I waited to review these because all foam works well.... at first. I wear my headphones all day and they spend a lot of time rubbing between my shirt and under shirt. The Comply brand would fall apart after 3-5 weeks. If the comply got light moisture on them it was faster. Those are $20 for 3 sets. These have outlasted them and still look new! Sure glad I came across these! They looked a little out of round out of the package but they do not affect fit or sound. Don't let that discourage you. At $1 a pair it's a steal!

They may look like what you need but ...
I really hate to leave negative reviews but this item is sub par. When I installed them on my Blue Buds I found that they are “rigid” that is, when I put the headphones on these replacement pads didn't expand to the shape of my ear and therefore didn’t stay in place. They kept falling out. Will be returning then. Sorry.

Large is smaller than OEM originals
They are smaller than the originals. And yes foam is harder. They don’t seal out the external noise like the originals. And because they are smaller you push them too far inside your ear canal to get the sound performance you expect. This cause an uncomfortable feeling. They seal and unseal as you rep through your work out. Not terrible but not great.
