What is the best way to keep earphones earwax-free? Obviously Q-tips work but what else. Are there any kind of drops or something that help clean out ears? Also, do earphones require any cleanning? Todd the Vinyl Junkie is sending me both the E2c's and ER-6i's to try out. I'm not exactly sure...

I've owned the 280 pro's for about 2 years now and they have very good isolation. I'm not quite the fanatic that many people on this forum are, so I can comment on the sound quality issue (I think they sound fine). I bought them mostly for blocking sound (I lived in some noise dorms 2 years ago...

First off, I'm pleased to hear such great reviews. Every time I buy stuff of the internet, I have to cross my fingers that it is a reliable site. I have to say I'm not worried about Todd the Vinyl Junkie. I think I will definitely give him a call tomorrow and see what we can set up. It really...

First off sorry if is taboo for starting more than one thread on the same topic. It's just that treads drop down the list and onto another page really fast here. I was wondering about the site Todd the Vinyl Junkie. Right now there are the Shure E2c's going for really cheap and I would like...

has any one bought anything from this place? 75 is a good price on the E2c's and they have a 30 day return policy. Does anyone know if they have got some sort of restocking fee? Any input would be great.

I've got some general question about the two earphones and the Over-the-ear cord design of the Shures vs the straight-out as in the Ety's: 2. For working at a desk and many various daily activites, it would be bothersome to have the cord in the front. How easy is it to just run the cord...

Thanks for the great post. I'll keep reading and hopefully I'll make a decision in the next couple days.

I'm looking at buying a pair of earphones. I think I've narrowed it down to the Etymotic ER-6, the Etymotic ER-6i, or the Shure E2c's. Here are my questions: 1. The Ety's seem to be lacking in the ear peice options compared to the Shures. What accesories if any are available. Has this been a...

thanks for the responses. The main use of them is to study in the library and to just use them on airplanes. It's too bad about the "tiny earthquakes" when running but I guess there is no way around that. I have some cheap sony ear buds that wrap around the ear that work fine for running. not...

I'm looking for some canalphones for around 100 bucks. Only certain earbud phones work for me but if I find a place with a good return policy I can always return them if they don't work. With that in mind, what canalphones are generally most comfortable? I'm looking for some that also stay in...

I've looked at the Etymotic ER-6 and the Shure E2c Earphones. I've read about each one but still have some questions. My biggest question is about using them laying down. I have some noisy housmates and I would like to be able to take a nap while listening to music. Is it possible to lay your...
