I cheated a bit on the olives - I pushed the broad tip of a soldering iron into the shure tip, then turn on the soldering iron - when the plastic is "warm" I pull the tip off and stick it onto the 5mm nozzle and it cools off and "Shrink fits" onto the nozzle and fits really well, just too short...

Ah ok - perhaps I was too rough with them. I was putting them onto the etymotics, rolling them like foam earplugs then inserting deep and waiting until they expanded. They were anchored in there pretty good, and I think maybe I was loosening the glue during the rolling. Probably need a smaller...

I ordered a few sizes from Amazon. When you insert them, do you roll them to compress them? It seemed like the rolling caused the glue around the plastic core to loosen a bit. It was a shame because they were *really* comfortable, but... man they just freaked me out a bit having my wife dig...

Hm I suppose I could try that. I *wish* triple-flanges were comfortable for me because cheap amazon triple flanges did the job admirably, but they're so... itchy

I love the shure olives for my etymotics and other deeper-insertion iems, and have tested them on a variety of headphones and love them. I also noticed that the olives, with their little mesh thingy, make the etymotic filters last a LOT longer, which is great. I bought a decidedly low-quality...

https://www.fiio.com/btr3k from the product page: "The BTR3K can automatically tell what kind of headphones you plugged into it and adjusts it's output accordingly. And when you plug in headphones with CTIA controls, you can use the microphone as well as the play/pause, volume, and track...

It looks like one of the fiio’s does it so I emailed them to ask. Will reply if I get a response :)

Did you ever find anything that worked for you? Looking for the same so I can use my frankenheadset of etymotic er2xr and antlion modmic via bluetooth.

I searched and found references to "more comfortable pads" but didn't find mention of what they were. I tried moving some dt250 velour pads from my mdr-7506's to the pro4aa but I'm worried about how much I have to stretch them when trying. Any input on this? I'd like something that alleviates...

  thx for replying - I was just wondering if it was worth the cost of shipping it back to them vs. just buying a new end.

I tried googling about for this with the prodj100 and came up dry, not sure on the phrasing. If it was the matter of a simple google search, please let me know how you phrased it :|   Basically, I bought some ProDJ100's after reading the thread on head-fi. I got them and they sounded awful...
