[Moving this to more appropriate forum] I have a nice 35mm jack microphone that I use for video conferencing, Zoom, etc. It requires a few volts of "plugin power". The mic-in jack on my computer, as well as my ~$5 USB interface, aren't cutting it. Both are very noisy, and I get an occasional...

In this article, I describe the default SBC codec common in all Bluetooth audio (A2DP), and how it could easily be made to improve fidelity: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YPTwFhvo99suyrwkT4Z97so9_xwoOGkpSqgveLpYvYc/edit?usp=sharing One of the important conclusions is that, if the source...

I have a nice pair of silicone custom earmolds for which the original headphones have failed. I seek to find a way to find another pair (from another brand, I was not in love with the original headphones) that will properly fit my earmolds. My impression at first is that all of the stems are...

I do a lot of business travel.  For a couple of years, I've been using a pair of UE Mini's (with and without wires) to bring some decent sounding music to my hotel room.  However, the total lack of bottom end leaves me wanting more.  I'm shopping for a new solution.   These speakers are going...

I apologize if this is a FAQ; honestly I did search for a while....   I would like to learn more about basic acoustics of earmolds, and the effects of adding dampers and ports.  I have tried some basic experiments with knowles dampers and drilling ports, but I really don't know what I'm...

I have a pair of Ety 6i with Custom-Fit tips. I find that the tips just keep coming off the headsets.  The tip provider (Microsonic) has made a few replacement tips, but usually within weeks, they pop off too.    To give you an example, take the 6i's out of a pouch, one of the tips will have...

  Some Thoughts on Microsonic Custom Tips for Etymotic Headphones As has been discussed in these forums, Etymotic has created a cost-effective path for custom in-ear monitors: http://www.etymotic.com/customfit/index.html First, a few word about me and my goals.   I work as an...

Hi. I have enjoyed my Ety ER 4P for a while, but have never been happy with the cable, especially the wide-angle, pigtail issue. It seems that Xin used to make a replacement cable, but that seems no longer available. Are there other options that are currently available? From Etymotic? Some...
