I've had the Bose Triport IE2s for quite a while and one thing that constantly bugs me is the lack of seal which naturally leads to lack of isolation.
 
I was wondering if there were any solutions to this issue, such as replacing the odd half in-ear tip with something else that'll hopefully provide the seal.
 
If not, I'll be on the lookout for any nice IEMs under $100 that has an flat to a slight U-shaped sound signature. Any suggestions are welcome.

 
Thanks

You could look into the Sony XBA-1....

The only solution is to wear a hearing protection headphone over the IE2. I sometimes do that while mowing the lawn. You can change tips out that will turn the IE2 into a pseudo-IEM but there will still be 3 ports that will allow sound to leak in and the bass will be overwhelming. I would just buy an IEM to use when I need isolation.
