where to buy shure olives? used to use complys.. then switched to monster supertips (gel-foam).. solid sound and comfort with long lasting life.. ship from amazon on and off when it disintegrates..

Yeah, they don't last long enough, switched to shure olives about 1 month back.

So far they are still holding together, heard it's pretty durable.

Usually, if you are using the Shure Black Olives with your earphones everyday, it may lasts up to 3 to 4 months and Comply foam tips, given that it is much softer, may last up to a month. I have linked this to our website so you guys can see which models we are carrying. :)

That's pretty spot on, although the seal is hit and miss..

Gave up on it and bought the shure olives, no regrets. :)

Shure olives. Always get from stereo electronics.

Very useful. One pair lasted for nearly half a year if no sweat and water get in. Comply foams don't give me the required isolation, and don't last as long as shure olives.

Stereo sucks la. Service standards go downhill liao.

Last time complys can test and fit. Now cannot.

Make me waste my time go down from serangoon to plaza sing. Heng woodlands store no more around or lavi waste more time.

Makes no diff if i hoot from amazon. At least i can get it delivered to me direct or like some other bros hoot from TB.

OK la. Maybe too commercialised and not as friendly as Jaben?

Still prefer shopping at Jaben. Somehow its cosier. ;)

For things like headphones, sometimes I do buy from Amazon if there's really good discounts.

Gave up on foam...costly to replace and not as good at isolating noise.
Sony hybrid silicon FTW. Comfortable, long lasting and seals damn well.
Only problem is that they may not fit every IEM
