    Shure foamies in Boston, MA?

    I think the Apple store in Chestnut Hill sells them. which is on Rt 9, very close to Wellesley. I know they sell Shure headphones, so hopefully they can help you out. You can get the number from Apple's website.

    I just bought the ER-6i...

    The 6i's are great little IEM's. I use the 6's, which have less bass than the i's, and am quite happy. Regarding microphonics, with properly inserted foamies and the cords looped behind your ears, they are not an issue. I use my 6's on the treadmill all the time, no problem. Next time, get 'em...

    My comparison of Er6's, Er6i's, and UM1's

    I have a feeling that I'll be openinging the spigot on my wallet one of these days and getting a pair of the 4's, too. My second pair of er-6's just came today - my wife did the same comparison and got the same result as me, with the only variation being she prefers the flanges. Now she has a...

    My comparison of Er6's, Er6i's, and UM1's

    It wasn't the color I meant, it was the shape. The 6's only take the disc-like foamies, not the comply shape. It looks like the earplug store ones only fit the 6i.

    Buying in NYC

    Never bought headphones there, but I know my video camera, DVX100A was grey market thru them - checked with the panasonic rep. I bought it at B & H instead.

    Many times when J&R are below the norm, it's because the items are grey market. Check to make sure they are an authorized dealer for whatever you're buying, and if the manufacturer will honor the warranty with a J&R receipt.

    My comparison of Er6's, Er6i's, and UM1's

    I spaced and forgot to try the comply tips on the 6's before I returned them. But I think I read here that the comply's fit the 6i's, which means they probably won't fit the 6's.

    My comparison of Er6's, Er6i's, and UM1's

    OK, though this is oft written about here, thought I'd throw in my .02 and share my head to head comparison of these 3 phones, in my quest for IEM's for the gym in the $100 range. Based on what I'd read here, I narrowed it down to these three choices. I tried each with the same playlist, on...

    Which tips are you using with your UM1's and why?

    So what would you use?

    Which tips are you using with your UM1's and why?

    In various threads, I've picked up the following options: 1. Comply tips 2. Yellow foamies 3. Triple flanges 4. Triple flanges with trimmed stems 5. Bi-flages (trimmed triple flanges) 6. Shure soft foam tips Seems like a lot of choices. Which are the best isolating? Any difference in...

    Disappointed with er-6i's, what next?

    Well, though they haven't been gym tested, I need to eat some crow here. Wetting the foam, pulling back the ear made a significant difference - this is what I was expecting. However, I still have to buy another pair, because I gave these to my wife! So, the next question is, another pair of...
