In-Ear Headphone Tip Sizes

At any rate, the point here is to try to produce a reference that will allow folks to have the information needed to try one manufacturer's ear tips with a different manufacturer's earphones. Eventually I'll put all these drawings on a static page in a big table that cross-references tips and earpieces ... or something like that. I'm interested in what you think might work.  :ear Tips here are shown with the nozzle output facing to the right. Dimensions are shown for the tip mating features, but the first piece of the body of the headphone to the left is shown fairly accurately to scale though not dimensioned. If you have some headphones that aren't on the list, feel free to measure them and send me the info and I'll add them to the list. Here's the start ...
