Hi everyone,
I've been googling Shure Black Olive Foamies and many variations of that but I have not been able to actually find them strangely enough. I was wondering where I could get them online for the cheapest preferably. Hoping to get some to try out on my er6i's. Another question is how long do they normally last?
Thanks

go on shures website, they are not cheap but well worth asking price IMO because one pair can last 6 months and in my case ive had the same pair being used for about 7 or 8 months and you get 5 pairs in a pack. just keep em clean in soapy water now and then and they spring back into life unlike yellow foams

Try the HeadFi sponsors, like Earphonesolutions or Headroom.

yep they are the ones, they are a little rounder and certainly softer than they look,as you can see they are also not pourous like the old yellow foams, they are honestly a good buy but do be warned, i am not sure if they fit the er6i perfectly so take that into account, if you know for a fact they do, they are a good purchase for most

You can also get them on ebay.

Bought them myself for my d-JAYS (just awesome) and lucky enough I got both the S and M sizes, as I wasn't sure which to get, and found out when I got them that my left ear is slightly bigger than the right one, so now I've got 10 pairs of foamies instead of 5

Would these fit the UE Triple.Fi's?

 

[mark2410]

no, not without some effort anyway, there is a thread somewhere about moding a pair of olive to get them on the triple.fi

discountheadphones.com also sells them and they have free worldwide shipping.

Try the forum sponsors first.

There's also Sweetwater, who offers free shipping and a slightly discounted price. Customer service is good too.
