Best options for tip cover

Are those above links still the best options for reducing the pencil noise on the iPad screen? I've heard silicon tips wear out quickly.

Does anyone have any suggestions on the general topic of reducing the pencil-on-glass tapping noise?

Thank you.

Silicone Pencil tip covers will wear, but this is better than the more expensive Pencil tips wearing.

Some of these Pencil silicone tip covers come in packs of 12.

They are designed to wear and not the Pencil tip, itself.

I have been using silicone Pencil tip covers with my Pencil for over a year, now.

They are cheap in price and they work. Stock up on them.

For me, these silicone Pencil tip covers wear anywhere from 2-3 weeks to a month depending on my use, which some weeks is more than other weeks.
