Earphone tips

[MatsyLR]

Hey just a small question.
I've ordered the soundmagic e10 earphones after some advice and I was after some foam tips like the comply ones to replace the tips (as they will provide better isolation)
However...arn't comply tips basically just normal foam earplugs people use when sleeping cut into a earphone tip shape?
Could I just buy some foam earplugs, cut them to size, put a hole in the middle for the earphone and that's it? (like these http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/12Pairs-S...=UK_BOI_ProtectiveGear_RL&hash=item2c79073bc7)
I can't see why the comflys are so expensive when they are the same material as simple foam earplugs as far as I'm aware?

I use comply tips with my e10's, they're excellent. You may as well get the real deal.

I've tried it before, http://www.blue-room.org.uk/index.php?showtopic=59501
Was ok, but I personally prefer silicone tips.

Ive got both the isolation ones and the normal model - just get the cheaper ones, the top model isnt worth the extra

complys are so expensive because they can.

they used to be more aimed at pro and military use where no one gave a poo at the cost. untill some one else makes a competing product they will contuniue to charge what they like

No tips have to have a little silicon bit which makes it stick to the headphone just cutting a hole they will fall off all the time
