I'd like to try some Shure olives on my Triple.Fis, but I don't know which size is right for me. I've seen "trial sets" of many other IEM tips including the small, medium, and large versions; anyone know where I can find one of these?

I have the same question.

 

[epithetless]

As far as I know, they aren't available in trial/variety packs.

 

[rawrster]

yeah..ive never seen them outside of 5 pairs per pack

maybe you could try to email shure and ask if they would sell you something like that?

I'm glad I'm not the only one. Not even necessarily with the Shures, but almost none of these companies that sell tips (Etymotic, Shure, Comply, etc.) have a trial pack. It seems to me that it makes perfect sense, so it bothers me that they don't do it. As far as I can tell the mediums fit me well for Shure at least, but that's the question, without buying all 3 sets, how do I really know?

If you are talking about the E2c olives, then you can find them for example here:
Shure Earphone and Monitor Accessories - Earphone Accessories (scroll down a little)
Shure * - QuietSpot Fit Kit (more tips but you have to order 2 of them to get a pair of each)
http://www.amazon.com/QSIFK-1-Replac...671125&sr=8-42 (same as the previous one)
http://www.amazon.com/Shure-EA506A-R...671069&sr=8-11

Actually, those are the Shure soft flex tips...not the "olives" (despite what their appearance might suggest). The term "olive" was attributed by someone on these forums to Shure's newer black foam sleeves. It's not an official designation, so it can be confusing, I know.

Isn't the tube on the triple.fi too thick for Shure tips?

It is, but there's ways to get it on.

you might be able to get unwanted shure fit kits on ebay. ive never intentionally looked for them but have still seen them a few times and would be much cheaper than buying 10 packs of each size and type till you get one that works for you

Ah, thanks for the clarification.

Just buy those, who are similiar in size, to the silicon ones you are using right now.

If you use medium silicones, then buy medium Olives. Also, you can always ask Shure ...or people here to give you the diameter of different sized Olives and then compare it to the silicone tips.

Why not ask some folks here for a spare pair??? Pay for the shipping--about $3 or so in the US (don't know about other countries)--and I'm sure someone would give them to you.

Start up a little trading thread for earbud tips possibly?

since the OP was the first one to ask i'll offer it to him/her I have a set of small,medium and large that you can have; I dont llike the black foams I never used them on my SE530 unless I ran out of comply, I only ever used the medium and I bought an extra 5 pairs of medium when I ordered them. So I have an unused small, medium and large that you can have for the price of shipping and you can buy me a drink if i'm ever in....ummmmm..... wherever you are. besides i'm RMA ing the SE530 and getting IE8. I will have enough medium to cope if for some reason they sound better than my UM56 on the IE8. PM me with details and i'll give you my paypal
