Hate to do this but hearing that EFN's PM box is full here and seeing how he hasn't been on in a while does anyone know how to contact this guy?! Purchased a cable from him to support his photography hobby like back in September and this guy has yet to send it out. I've e-mailed him and his last response basically said if he had not fixed the cable by last Monday that I'd get a refund. It's way past Monday and e-mails since then have not been returned... WTF?

Yay! ER6i's arrived today, and before I go on holiday too!
They kinda hurt though... With the triple flangs it only goes in up to the 2nd flange... Not sure if thats normal. It also kinda scratches my ear somehow. Not sure what's doing it but it hurts.
The stock foamies are good, I like them. They're comfortable. But they don't look like they'll last long.
I also got the Shure Olives but even they're uncomfortable as there is SOMETHING scratching and hurting my ear... I also think the small sized ones are a bit too small for me.
The sound is good though, a nice taste of the Grado sound. The bass is a bit weak but EQ fixes it up nicely.
Sadly yes and it makes them damned frustrating to put in when its dark, but its also why god designed 6.5mm red heatshrink sleeving to be a nice slip on fit on ER4 barrels.
Unfortunately - as of 3 odd hours ago - I'm no longer a Etymotic user seeing as the left hand channel on my ER4P's suddenly went excruciatingly distorted. I was hoping it was just a clogged filter but having swapped the filters out it still sounds totally unlistenable boo hoo
You should definitely send them in to Etymotic, chances are they will replace the drivers for free, even if they are out of warranty as mine were. Turn-around time is usually a week and a half so its not too bad.

Is this thread still alive?
If so, count me in
Just received my second set of er6's today,
the right channel died after about 30mins use on the first set(this seems like quite a common issue with etys?).
I use them with etymotic musician's earplugs custom molds with adaptors, and i love them! They sound fantastic, almost like my grados A bit bright out of my ipod, but nothing a little EQing can't fix
I tried Shure SE 420s and own a pair of the UE-10 Triple.Fi, and all I can say is that my ER-4S isn't going anywhere. These are just an engineering marvel designed in the early 90s and still able to trump anything else. They have a sound that nothing else can emulate.
