A little help with tips
I ordered a Westone UM1 from Earplugsuperstore.com and I also ordered a 5 pair pack of ety triflanges to go with it. The "smart" people at earplugsuperstore sent me triflanges with no stems that were meant for the ER6. I have a current order with them of an ER15 custom earplug that didn't fit...- slidemasterx

The problem is that I don't have an spl meter and it's so difficult to find it in my area. Maybe someone here has tried it with an Iriver h320 and Westone UM1...- slidemasterx

measure spl of IEM
Hi, I read an old thread about guys who measured the highest level that you can play on your IEM before it gets dangerous. I don't have a decibel meter and there are no internet sites that currently ship decibel meters in the Philippines. I was wondering if someone here has tried measuring the...- slidemasterx

Triflanges
I just bought a pair of UM1's and Etymotic triflanges from Earplug super store and when I inserted the triflange into the UM1, I noticed that the Ety triflanges didn't have stems. Is this normal? Aren't they supposed to have stems? It was way too short for me without the stem. Thanks- slidemasterx

Ety or Shure Triflanges?
I checked earplug superstore for their prices and the Etymotic triflange was $14.95 for 5 pairs while the Shure was $26.95 for only 3 pairs. Is it worth spending more money for the shures? 3 pairs doesn't seem enough if you want to experiment with cutting off the stem and small flange and it...- slidemasterx

Ety or Shure Triflanges?
I have worn my Etymotic ER20 earplugs while performing and traveling for about a year now I have gotten used to the feel of them. The Ety triflanges are so much cheaper than the Shure ones. So correct me if I’m wrong here, if I modify the Ety triflange to be biflanges, I don’t need to cut the...- slidemasterx

Ety or Shure Triflanges?
Thanks for you replies. I'm ordering from the earplug superstore because I have an earplug which I sent back to be remade so when it comes back, the UM-1 can go with it with free shipping. So does the Ety flange fit on the UM-1? I think I read somewhere around here that it doesn't.- slidemasterx

ER6 with ER musicians filter molds?
Has anyone used an ER6 or ER6i with their Etymotic musicians earplugs? I have ER15 earplugs and this has made me reconsider if I should be getting the ER6 instead of other brands. How does the ER6 sound like with the ER molds compared to foam tips or flanges? Is the bass significantly better...- slidemasterx

Ety or Shure Triflanges?
I’m getting a Westone UM-1 and I’m planning to order some triflanges to go with it because I don’t like the idea of having to replace foam tips every few weeks. I was wondering, do Etymotic triflanges fit on the UM1? If not, are Shure triflanges the only choice left? Thanks- slidemasterx

Tinnitus - A cure?
...does it mean that it will get worse in the long run, or is it just temporary? My tinnitus only becomes worse when I don't have enough sleep so could it possibly get worse even if I don't listen to loud music? Also is this product just b**l or is it real...- slidemasterx

Which extra tips for UM1?
I'll finally be getting my first IEM and since it's expensive to ship to my location, I'll planning to buy tips in advance so I can buy it together with the UM1. First, are stock tips of the UM1 enough to make me happy? If not which other tips should I be buying? thanks- slidemasterx

Are you scared that your IEM’s might be too loud?
Thanks for your replies. My tinnitus is only mild. I only hear it in complete silence and when I'm wearing my earplugs. I got it when I was playing in a ska band but when I noticed the tinnitus, I stopped completely. Even after that incident, I still have more sensitive ears than others. I'm...- slidemasterx

Are you scared that your IEM’s might be too loud?
I’m planning to get an IEM and this got me thinking. When I’m listening to my Iriver H320 with the stock earphones, I never let the volume go past 10 even if the music is completely drowned out by outside noise because I have tinnitus and I’m really cautious about it. When you guys listen to...- slidemasterx

looking for IEM
Thanks. It seems that the ACS t15 can't be shipped here (Philippines) so I guess I'll be going with either the UM1 or ER6i. I'm afraid that if I get the ER6i, I might find the bass to be not enough and returning it would be very expensive from the Philippines $30 - 50 so I guess I'll be choosing...- slidemasterx

looking for IEM
Thanks for all your replies. I spent a couple of hours reading about the ER6i, UM1 and the SF3. From what I’ve read, it seems like the ER6i just doesn’t provide enough bass for some people. I would like to hear good bass because I listen to a lot of jazz. I read reviews that the SF3...- slidemasterx
