You mentioned that sound wasn't coming from one side.  The ER6i has filters (my daughter has a set) that can be get clogged.  If you change those out you might actually fix the sound in the one side.  If that isn't it, or you want a replacement/extra anyway you might look into the newer Etymotic...

I have the CK7s and I like them alot.Infact they make me want the CK10 or CK100now since they are so clear.  Good highs and pretty good bass, midrange is overwhelmed by them though. Not a flat signature IMO.  I'm comparing them to my ER4s, MC5, and Coppers if that helps.  I don't have the RE0...

i was in the same boat as you where the cable on the left side went.  I bought a few other earphones, thanks to this site (not a money savings discovery). One of the earphones I purchased that had an equivalent sound sig was the MC5 and for the price, it comes very close to the ER4.  Ultimately...

poor original poster got 'ripped' in a different way....

I recently bought some Coppers as well because i like a balanced sound and am very happy with them.  The tips that come with the Monster headphones are pretty good already, but there are a few threads in here on different tips.  Again, its a preference thing dealing not only with sound, but...

I think i grabbed the last one.  Thanks for the heads up!  They are sold out now.

I personally like the Etymotic IEMs, but they do lack in bass if you tend towards a lot of bass in your music. If you are willing to spend more $150 get the ER4P instead.  I've heard you can sometimes find them on sale for a price that would be below $150.  I have both the 6i and the ER4P, as...

Cool,   I'll go check it out.  BTW, they also have had some on ebay for around $260 (but without shipping added and located in Japan).  I've been comtemplating it but have had bad experiences on buying out of country stuff through ebay/half.com.

Ditto on the place to find the CK10

I believe it is without the music.  the decibel rating is the reduction in outside sound.

I'm new here as well. However, I might be able to provide a portion of your answer.  Is your list is in order of preference? I've had a pair of Etymotic ER4 earphones for a few years now and will say they isolate very well.  They probably don't fit your heavy bass requirement (although I feel...

Hello,   I've been revisiting IEM's recently and found ljokerl's review thread helpful: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/478568/multi-iem-review-102-iems-compared-meelectronics-m11-and-hippo-shroom-added-09-01 As others have suggested, perhaps you could get either the RE0 or something...
