Abstract: An ear tip connects to a nozzle of an earphone. The ear tip comprises a body having a lumen extending from a rearward opening to a forward opening, the rearward opening being sized and dimensioned to connect to the nozzle so that sound transmitted out of the nozzle passes through the lumen and is transmitted out the forward opening. The body comprises an inner core forming at least a portion of the lumen and an outer cover covering at least a portion of the inner core, wherein the inner core is made of material sufficiently rigid to avoid deformation when the ear tip is inserted into the ear canal of a user and the outer cover is made of a material less rigid than the material of the inner core and capable of being compressed and deformed by the ear canal when inserted thereinto.
