Maybe you could try Comply tips? Similar to olives, but they might not last quite as long. They would open up a lot of options for you.

I am looking for a cheap IEM with a narrow opening which will take shure olives. I want an IEM that has excellent bass. Right now I have some cheap earbuds that take Shure Olives but the sound is really bad. I know that the isolation on the foams is great, so all I want now is the sound to go with it. Please help. Most standard earbuds seem to be too big for shures. Also, I don't want to remove the plastic core or do a hack. Thanks.

Btw: I mean the black foam inserts that block 32db. Thanks

they don't fit exactly, but I use metro.Fi 170s and enlarge the Olives with long nose pliers. Then they fit and work great. MF170 has excellent bass.
