are the medium shure olives close in size to the comply mediums ?

Yes, they are, but olive is more dense.

Seems like after a few days the comply won't stay compressed long enough for me to insert them in my ear..sucks..Will the olives be a good fit for the westone 2 ? thanks in advanced.

The Shure medium foams and the Comply mediums are the same size as has been mentioned.  Since the Complies are softer, they will fit a wider range of ear canals without too much pressure or feeling too tight.  I have small ear canals and appreciate this quality of the Complies.  There are also small Shure foams which I find to be quite comfortable.

The medium Complys are a little bit smaller than the medium Shures.  If you're unsure you may want to try a size larger.  They compress more than the Shures and don't expand as forcefully so it shouldn't be to uncomfortable even if they're not the perfect size.  I used medium Shures and find the medium Complys to be very loose.  They sound and feel fine normally, but it doesn't take much for them to lose their seal and send the bass response through the floor.  Once, one of them even fell out!

i also feel like the shure olives are better made then complys, when i had my UE5pro, i really hated the complys, the fit isnt very good, and it feels really gross when you remove it from your ears

Been trying to get the right fit ,I actually feel like the comply small fit pretty good so I guess I'll order the small Shure olives..to bad shure doesn't have a variety pack like comply S/M/L...

I have Westone 3 LE's and they come with 6 pairs of silicone tips hate all the silicone ones hate the triple flange I use the slimmer fit comply foam. They work pretty good but they are a little loose feels like if i shake my head really hard they will fly out. And the larger complys put to much pressure and are uncomfortable.

will the medium olive foam give a slighter tighter feel then the comply medium?

Definitely.  From first-hand experience.

The olives seal better and color the sound less, while the complys are much more comfortable by a good margin.
