Thanks.   I personally think it's okay to ride with earphones but I'm not going to suggest it's okay for everyone. I can still hear car horns and I'm always aware of the traffic around me. It's very important to stay alert and focused when you're riding a motorcycle. If you think music will...

Product: ER6i (a.k.a. 6isolator) Product Type: Earphone Manufacturer: Etymotic Research URL: http://www.etymotic.com/ MSRP: $99     Even though, the Etymotic Research 6i earphones were not designed specifically for motorcycle riders, many will find them to be a great solution. In...

I feel it's important to mention that there may be laws in your area that prevent the use of earphones while riding. I don't condone breaking the law. It's important that you check the laws in your local area before riding with earphones.   Certain locations may prohibit the use of earphones...

I have been meaning to post this review here for awhile now but I haven't got to it until now. In August 2009, I wrote a series of reviews on potable audio products for motorcycle website where I'm a contributor and a moderator. The review that follows is on the Etymotic Research ER-6i. I...

Thanks for all the feedback. I think the top choice on my list right now are the Audio Technica ATH-ES7. They are the most stylish of the bunch and they can be had for just about $100 or a little less. In second and third place are the Sony V6s and the Shure 440s. I had my daughter try on my...

Wow, that was fast. Okay let's clear up some issues with my first post. Go ahead and disregard the ability to keep them in a purse. Let's just say they she will want to take them with her on trips and such. I like Steve 72s idea of the collapsible Shures. As far as circumaural being a...

My daughter told me she wanted some new headphones for Christmas. My first thought was wow this is actually something her dear ol' Dad can figure out. I instantly thought, I could help her choose between IEMs, on the ear, over the ear, closed back, open back, etc. I started by just asking her...

Thanks for the feedback. I'll order up some small Olives and see how they work. I figured it would take some time to get used to the sealed off from the world feeling. Also, I think my ear issues may just be some kind of sinus blockage. It's probably just a coincidence that it happened on the...

I just received some ER.6i and I have been using them for only a couple days. I have tested all the different included ear tips but I have a few questions. The first time I tried the earphones for about and hour. The feeling was unusual and a bit uncomfortable. When I say unusual, I'm referring...

Thanks 3X0

Are there any photos of the Apple IEMs in this thread or elsewhere? I'm particularly interested in a photo or two with them inserted in the ear. It turns out most sites do not post photos of their IEMs inserted in the ear. I don't know why? Also I haven't found a lot of threads on Head-Fi were...

Are there any options out there for iPhone 3G S IEMs that have the inline mic and volume control? I know the Apple IEMs have this but I was wondering if there are any third party options out there yet. I also know that NuForce, Phonak and others make IEMs with the built-in mic and mute switch...

I just wanted to say that I appreciate all of the work that has been done here to make this a great product. From the input on the initial design and development to the details such as improving the front and rear panel ascetics. I wanted to thank csroc for your graphic design work. I appreciate...
