    ER4 Custom Ear Mold

    ER4 Custom Ear Mold

    ER4 Custom Ear Mold

    I shopped around for a long time for custom molds for my Ety's. After untold hours, $$, and several failures, I arrived at the Westone, full-soft #34, non-sound bore which I could not be happier with. I'm convinced that custom molds aren't the norm with Ety's simply because of the time and cost...

    Do you believe in ghosts?

    Assuming that you mean “ghosts” to be the traditional, commonly accepted idea of a person who has died and the spirit lives on sort-of-thing, then no. There have been some very interesting theories put forward in the last 100 years or so that attempt some scientific explanations to various...

    Have you ever used IEMs while driving?

    I regularly drive in commute traffic in the most congested areas of Los Angeles while talking on the phone, smoking a cigarette, eating a McBurger and fries with at least two kinds of dipping sauce (hot mustard and BBQ, generally), and steering with my knees. However, I would never use...
