last i remember U.E. uses a uch larger port then any Shure, so by stock ways the shure olives should not fit. i have expanded the olives myself to fit on larger port iems before (the crossroads iems) and loved the sound and fit! you might wanna try expanding the inside tube in the olive to stretch over the larger U.E. port, if you use some heat and are slow about it make work. just make sure you don't stretch them too much cause the last thing you want is to get a olive jammed inside your ear!

maybe someone has some old olives laying around so you can see if the stretch is possible?

still i remember them U.E. ports being much larger then the shure, it would be a hell of a stretch if it works

I currently have around 10 pair of medium and small shure olive tips that I'll try that out on. I think I have so steel spikes that I have stretch them on too. By the way, the old shure e5c's didn't have a little bump on the ear piece that the new ones have and I used to get sleeves stuck in my ear all the time. It's a little nerve wracking to get those stuck in your ear with out any tweezers around.

EDIT....and my triple-fi's still haven't shipped.

I have put olives on the triple.fi before. Its a hell of a stretch, I used a leather punch to stretch them. I did end up ruining a few after a few changes. Its near impossible to over stretch these for the triple.fi, its an insanely tight fit, I had to cut them off sometimes to replace them.

I also put on a Westone cable after filing down the pins. Sounded pretty good but had to adjust for phase. I think I'm keeping mine stock now and using the small rubber tips and complys.

If anyone spots a deal for those large capacity Energizer/Xpal units I'd appreciate it.

[jinp6301]

For laptops or for usb devices?

[n_maher]

For laptops or for usb devices?

Laptops. I have two of the small ones but would like to find one of the XT18000's that were around a couple months ago.

[jinp6301]

I'll keep a eye out.

[grawk]

Amazon has them for $137, or $97 for the XP8000

Yeah, I searched the usual suspects this morning.

Likewise, I could really use a couple.

In regards to the Triple fi 10 orders on the Logitech webpage, I talked to a Logitech agent today on the status of my order. The agent told me that my order was going to be shipped out tomorrow and he confirmed that it was ready to go. I ordered them at around 9:30AM on December 4, so if some of you guys are waiting on your orders to ship they are most likely going through the 3 day processing stage, and should ship out around Wednesday or Thursday. I actually meant to order 2, one for me and one as a xmas gift, but I accidentally put in an order for 3. If I don't keep it(I really don't know why I would want two pairs of Triples around), i'll list it here on HC for the same $99.00 deal brand new in case anyone who missed out would like it.

Great to know. I wish I knew somebody that needed a pair but I have zero friends into this kind of stuff. They all think I'm an idiot for getting into this kind of stuff at my income.

I'd be interested.

[Deadneddz]

I'd be interested.

ahh really sorry, Milos(N3rdling) already expressed interest in getting my extra pair if I sell it. So i'm not going to be posting any FS thread at all. They are already gone.

[wrecked_porsche]

Well, I'm still looking for a second set (HPA got me one but that is going to my dad as a gift), so if anyone has a spare unit to get rid of, just let me know and the monies will be sent your way immediately. I'd love to have one myself for portable use.
