Pros & Cons
Pros
The difference is almost indistinguishable. Hesitated to purchase, based on all the overwrought 1-star reviews trashing them for being smaller than the originals. They appear to be slightly smaller, but this difference is irrelevant in my ears.
Triple * is the way to go. I wear my ety hr3's for at least 4 hours a day, so needless to say i put some miles on the tips. Superior to the foam tips in nearly every way.
Silicone earphones are great for dampening sounds of motors, etc. They are just as quiet as the foam units supplied with the headset.
Cons
The diameter of the internal tube is too large. Without a proper seal, the noise isolation capability was virtually eliminated. Also, the stems are not long enough which means the ear piece ends up deeper in the ear than they should be. No bass from t... Read More
The tips that come with this product are gray and opaque and are larger than the frosted (smaller) tips. These are truly shameful.
Etymotic is not with their sizing nor product associations. It really is disappointing. Very unhappy with this purchase.

Maybe foam does, but it doesn't stay put, and fills with wax over time, which makes it seal more poorly and prone to slipping.
Price
I am taking one star off because these shouldn't cost so much.
Thanks, etymotic, for making these available at a reasonable price.
Competitiveness
The treble response is vastly improved and they’re shockingly comfortable in comparison to the stock buds.
Aside from that, i have used many tips, including every material available and several brands that claim to be better.
Other reviews state that there is a size disparity between these replacements and the original 3-flange eartips, but i'm not convinced.

Will update this review if any problems arise

However these might make the sound bright if you really dont have large ear canals and the insertion depth too shallow

Better ear tips then what comes in the box
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
I purchased a set of these and had the same impression that all those mentioning about them being smaller than the original
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The original is the same size as the ones in this set
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The material with which the ear tip has been made expands with time thus taking the form of your inner ear
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
This is what happened to the original ear tip it expanded becoming larger
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
So when you get the new ones and compare they will not be the same any more hence the conclusion that the new ones are smaller
