I posted this in the IEM section but this one seems more appropriate, didn't see it before... Model: Sony MDRNC22 earphones Is it possible to remove the unit, so that the earphones can be used without the noise-cancelling block on the wire (which is unnecessarily bulky when noise-cacelling...

Model: Sony MDRNC22 earphones Is it possible to remove the unit, so that the earphones can be used without the noise-cancelling block on the wire (which is unnecessarily bulky when noise-cacelling is off)? [Yes, it seems silly, but this is what I'd like to do, even if it has to be a...

I've got 'em Cost me just under £50 and they look great, though a couple of the tips are slightly twisted... So far they seem good but haven't listened to them in a noisy environment yet - got a flight tomorrow with which to do that. Isolation seems, as far as I can tell, to be pretty similar...

awesome. Now all I have to do is go around looking into other people's ears to try and gauge which size mine are :P

hey filipelli can i ask which size foamies you bought? (ie what youd recommend getting) - sorry to hear they don't fit but the rest of your comment is encouraging

just ordered them for just under £50 - should get them end of the week Thanks to everyone for the useful advice - great forum.

the er6i phones aren't ipod specific are they? Ive got a zen... :S

ok I reckon I'll get them then. Jesus £50 is a lot to spend on earphones but I can pick them up tomorrow from the depot! :S

so er6i over the shure e2c? the shures are only £2 more, and in fact £13 less if I have to get the black foamies as well...

yeah unless they're broken I'm guessing they're out of my price range... have found the etys for about £47 might get thewm tomorrow hmmm

do you know if the er6i isolation is a lot better than the x3i? it's an important factor to me... also what is the difference between the BLK-B and BLK-C? Cheers ClieOS: you have both sets in your signature - what's your opinion? Thanks

who suggested SF4s? :S Mylarones are attractive as they're a bit cheaper - especially if I have to upgrade the er6s to get them up to scratch... What do you think of the x3is pez?

to be honest I hadn't even really registered the difference between x3 and xb until now. Thanks for the table - vv useful! god people change my mind so easily though :P

wow thanks I already put out a post here http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/iso...phones-296965/ so basically yeah I'm happy to buy online, as long as I don't get stung with fake goods! (can't try them out in shops anyway) looking to spend about £40 which i suppose is about $80, but uk is...

the crossroads ones are considerably cheaper than the er6i... are they really just as good?
