Another one for the SE210s, I bought a pack of foam sleeves and change them when they get dirty.

I have custom sleeves and full customs now. Very happy with the fit on both - still running in the full customs at the moment, but the sleeves I have for my E3C's and my SE530's are superb.

Audio Relief gets them made by ACS

For cans - I've got some Sennheiser HD650 *replacing some broken HD580 - I'm sure that the 580's sounded better though* and I've got a cheap set of Goldring DR150 that, despite being made from recycled milk cartons, sound pretty good. Kim is mainly using them now.

I hope you don't mean you change them as in keep getting new ones, cos you can wash them (and even have them dry within an hour or two)

Go with the black olives for the Shure's. They are much better than the plain yellow ones.

I don't think Shure even supply the yellow ones any more.

You can still get them though.

So far then the recommendations are;

Goldring DR150 or SE210

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ultimate-Ear.../dp/B000B5XU06 [edit - that's a marketplace seller but you should be able to find them elsewhere for the same sort of money if you prefer to avoid the marketplace sellers]

Ultimate Ears Super.fi 3s [those in the link above] may be worth a look for similar money, though I couldn't tell if they come with foam buds so you'd have to look at some reviews to find out. One of the amazon reviews mentions 'interchangeable buds' but they could all be silicon ones.
