shure olives – what size and where to buy

[Max Power]

I’ve heard great things about these tips, and I’d like to try them out on my ER6i. I’m currently using the ety large gray 2 flange tips (ER6I-18D) which are a little snug, but I couldn’t get a good seal with the smaller ones or the tri flange. What size shure olives should I get? Ideally, I’d like an assortment pack to try both medium and large, but I haven’t seen those anywhere. I was leaning towards trying the medium, but I would love to hear thoughts.

Also, what is the best (read: cheapest) place to order these from?

Thanks.

soundearphones.com has the best price.

Thanks. Anyone have thoughts on what size I should get? Or do they sell an assorted sizes pack?

The sell them in either small, medium or large. They come in pairs of 3 or 5.

...Sorry I misread.

Guess I'll go with the medium unless someone can give me some advice. I hate ordering stuff online when I don't know what size I need.
