No, I didn't get the adapter since I'm not planning on using it on my home stereo. thanks anyway

Hi guys, Thanks for the fantastic input. I went ahead and paid the extra few dollars and bought the Etys 4P. I've had them for about a month but haven't tried them yet as my next flight is in about 3 weeks. If they isolate the noise like I hope, I'll be a happy camper. Otherwise, you'll be...

Can you tell me how the isolation on the E2c compares with the Etys??? I'm still considering both but my first priority is isolation. Thanks,

Goo point. Oh yeah, I got confused with what the guy from Shure posted a few days ago about the E2c. He said that the foam tips have 20-25dB, and the triple flange and flex sleeves have 15-20dB isolation; I erroneously assumed that the E2c came with all three but in fact it doesn't. Maybe Shure...

I'm not interested in the sound quality but the ER-4Ps specs. indicate that they isolate a lot more than the ER-6s. I considered the Shure E2c but then again, they isolate 15-20dB (triple flange) versus 20-25dB for the ER-4P. I think the ER-6s have about the same isolation as the Shure. What I...

Thanks for the info. Guess I'm stuck with those expensive Etys.

I looked everywhere and could not find the isolation in dB of the Sony MDR-EX71SL. I'm not an audiophile but I'm looking for earphones with the best isolation. As of now, the Etys ER-4P is top on my list at 20-25 dB external noise isolation. Does anyone know the isolation of the EX71SL? Even the...

I've reached the point in deciding to purchase the ER-4P and use them only on airplanes. After I purchase them, it may be 2-3 months before I get to try them on my next flight and decide if they are comfortable enough for me, and whether they decrease airplane noise enough to hear my stories...

I just looked at the Ety site and it states that "The ER-4P has a new cable. The cable is of a different construction, and uses a different insulation material that is softer and more pliable. The goals were to reduce the mechanical cord noise and improve the flexibility and appearance." Does...

Dunbar, Thanks for taking the time again. I looked at previous posts but still couldn't decide. I was looking for something more definitive from someone who has used both, like you. One last question if you don't mind: For basic listening (stories and some music) while flying (wanting the...

Wondering whether you made a final decision. I too have been looking for the best isolation earphones and was considering the Etys, the 4P, but then noticed the Shure E2c with 23dB of isolation vs. 20-25dB for the 4P. For what I want the earphones for (hearing stories and some music during air...

Hey guys, I'm thinking about the same earphones. However I'm looking for the best isolation. If I understand the specs right, the E2c has 23dB of isolation vs. 15-20 on the ER6 and 20-25dB for the E4. I'm wanting to use them primarily for air travel, listening to stories and some music. In your...

I was thinking about buying the ER-4 until I tried in-the-ear hearing protectors, rubber like and 3 flanged style, purchased at WalMart for use at gun ranges; I found these hearing protectors very uncomfortable and was wondering if anyone can tell me whether the discomfort from these hearing...

BDA_ABAT, I was initially looking for noise-cancelation headphones so I could clearly hear recordings from my inexpensive casette player while flying. Then I thought that I would like quietness to relax, take a nap or meditate. I found that noise cancelation headphones will cancel the constant...

Lextek, was there an easily distinguishable increase in isoaltion with the ER-4?
