Ety8 Filters = IM716 Filters ???

post #1 of 14

Thread Starter 
Looking at the Etymotic Website it looks like the Ety8 accessories would be a direct swap for the IM716's. Has anyone compared the filters and tips to see if they are interchangable?
Looks like it is getting hard to find replacement filters for the IM716's.

Thanks for the info!

Ahh, looks like those silly things (the ety8s) might actually serve a purpose now! I'd try contacting Ety and asking.

I sent an E-mail to Ety about this question. I'll let you know how they respond.

Phone call is much more effective than email. Their cust. svc people are quite good..............I'm not bothering because I bought 12 pairs from A.Lansing when they were readily available.

See http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?p=3236240

I called ER's cust service. They said they have parts they believe work, but none of the parts are returnable, so they're sending me a sample of all the accessories (each of the flange & foam eartips, filters, filter tool).

Once they arrive next week, I'll post whether they work or not. (on that other thread)

oh nice! anyone know if you NEED their filter too to change, or if a shure one can be used or a pick of some sort?

i assume that the filters include the red/orangy tube and not just the paper thing on the end. is this correct? I need to take the tube out when replacing?
