X2. The olives are sized a bit larger than the others - I use/prefer large softips in my UM2s and large olives were too large - definitely start at mediums. I think the sound on olives falls somewhere between softips/flanges and outright foamies - I think the stiffer walls will give more reflection than foamies but not quite as much as the former (I'm guessing it's the material, but also largely affected by size/shape of canal and how far inserted, etc.). The fit kit is going to cost you a few dollars, but well spent IMO as once you dial in the tips on your Westones, they're golden...

You might also want to try a Shure fit kit that has the Shure foamies, clear silicon and grey soft flex in different sizes |
