Thanks for all the responses. Is this how the Westones are done as well?, not glued but tightly braided?

Hi all, I have a quick question about the braided cables of the er4p's. Are they glued together or are they just tightly wound together (ie. not stuck to each other)? Either way, do they tend to unravel easily? Thanks in advance, ATTL

Looking forward to what the rest of you head-fiers think of Westone's newest offering.

Can anyone confirm if the nozzle will still fit shure olives? Thanks

I'm can't wait for some reviews of the W1's to show up. I'm currently IEMless and will be pulling the trigger very soon. I'm deciding between Etymotic's ER4P's or the Westone 1's, after the reviews come out. I'm coming from ER6i's and want to try something different. If the W1's are not worth...

Hi All, I was wondering if Shure foam olives will fit the Q-Jays. I've read about the O.J Mod (olives on Jays) but I don't want to have to perform eartip surgery. If anyone has used olives on Q-Jays, would you say these fit alright or is the fit so tight that I'd risk damaging the nozzle...

Just found out the hf5's are on sale at Amazon.com. It really sucks that they don't ship Etymotic products to Canada. If anyone knows a way around this, please share. I still can't decide. I really want to go straight for the ER4P's but the damn shipping...oh well. I'll keep looking for a...

I can't stop looking at peoples IEM's/earbuds. I still haven't seen anyone with a portable amp though.

Hi Guys, I really want to upgrade and I'm having a difficult time deciding between these two. I really want to upgrade. I was looking to spend about ~$150 USD and started looking. One of the biggest limitations to my search was shipping to Canada. Shipping had to be reasonable or I had to...

Another Torontonian here, I see the same as the other Toronto members here. Koss plugs, and lot's of skulls. Been seeing a lot of the Sony MDR-150/300 headphones as well. I'm beginning to see more of the low end Shure's (110's/115's) recently. Best Buy and Futureshop seem to be stocking these...

It's kind of gross, and you may get some funny looks from people watching you while you do this, but I find that licking your fingers before rolling the black foams makes them a little moist, allowing them to slide deep into the ears. I've gotten so use to this that I can't seem to put black...

Hi Guys, I was wondering if anyone had experience with purchasing items from HeadRoom.com which are shipped to Toronto, Canada. I'm would like to buy a set of IEM's from them but shipping is $30USD, as well, they only ship to Canada using UPS. I'd just like to know how much I'd potentially...

They definitely fit. I have the mediums on my ER-6i's right now. Just make sure that when you're taking the olives off to replace or clean, you don't pull off the filter along with it. I find a gentle twist as I'm taking them off the olives works well
