SA6 rated at how many decibels of noise reduction?
Looking into grabbing myself a pair of SA6, and I was wondering if I could get an official rating on the amount of noise reduction I would get with the bi-flange (or whichever gives the most).
I think it is about the same as other high-end in-ears. They probably offer around 26 dB noise attenuation. Don't know the official numbers, could be great with a little graph that shows how linear the attenuation is.

I think it's said to give around 26db, but I've experienced better isolation with the SA6's than with other IEMs. That, and it's incredibly easy to get a good seal, particularly when compared with my Atrio's (which I still love, but frustrate me sometimes with its poor bi-flanges).
^ on the contrary, i find the isolation of the SA6 to be subpar compared to my old er6is. It could just be the etys great isolation, or use of foams that contributes to the isolation
