If you're into music you probably already know that the best way to get the most from your tunes with a pair of compact headphones is to opt for the in-ear 'bud variety.

There's no point spending hundreds of pounds on a top of the range model unless you get the fit right though, and to this end there are usually different sizes supplied.

These aren't always built from the best quality materials and can obviously get lost, ripped or simply not fit correctly into your bizarrely shaped lugholes.

A solution then could be these Comply foam tips, which are available to fit a range of brands and claim to offer superior comfort, bass response and a personalized fit. The memory foam used in construction is 30 times softer than the silicone rubber you'll find elsewhere and was originally designed for the military, aviation and industrial communication, so should be quite hard wearing.

£15 will get you three different sized pairs and while this isn't cheap, it seems silly to pay a lot for a set of earphones if you're not going to get the most out of them.

Available today from AdvancedMP3Players, there are a range of models available so make sure you check that your brand of earphones is compatible before you buy. - Paul Lester
