Hi all, I just received my SE530's a few days ago. I have been impressed with the SQ so far. However I would like to try the other tips that came with the 'fit kit'. The problem is that I can't seem to remove the black tips. When I try to pull them off it looks like they will tear rather...

Hi all, For anyone in the UK. I found an iPod LOD for GBP£14.99. I can't vouch for quality, but it should work. (Not affiliated with the retailer in any way, this is for info only). Entropic

Hi all, I had a very specific need for an amp to drive my Ety 4P from an iPod nano on a plane. I'm going to buy a Tomahawk *AND* and also order a Xin amp (probably the macro LE). However I just went to his ordering page and there are so many options I can't figure out what I should add...

Hi all, It's been a while since I've bought a new set of headphones. I have a pair of Shure E2c. At the time the E5c was the top of the range but that seems to be discontinued too. However I've noticed that the Shure range has completely changed since I last seriously investigated...

Hi all, I have been looking at the Tomahawk vs the Xin range. To anyone who has both amps. Can you comment on the following? Hiss - During quiet portions of your music tracks do you hear much of an audible hiss? Portability - Do you have any issues with carrying these? I'm just concerned...

Hi all, I've been using the Ety ER4P with various iPods since 2003. However the cable is now well and truly battered and needs to be replaced. Etymotic want me to send the entire unit to the USA and charge me $50 plus return shipping to the UK. They refuse to just sell me the cable. (Yes -...

Hi all, I need to replace my Ety 20s earplugs. (I think I left them on an airplane ) However - in the 5 years that I've had them the 'Etymotic Baby Blue' and the 'Alpine MusicSafe PRO Earplugs' have come out on the market. Does anyone has any opinions on whether I should change? Alpine...

Hi all, I've got a UK IPOD (so I assume that it's been volume capped). So my question is; "Does the volume cap on European IPods affect their ability to run headphones?" I.e. If I were to plug in identical headphones with 100 Ohm impedances into a European and a Non European IPod...

Hi all, I'm having trouble finding the thread which described how to make an Ety 4p to 4s converter... I remember that the link had some nice pictures of a very short black cable with the resisters built into the casing of a Radio Shack gold looking 3.5" jack. Does anyone remember where...

Hi all, I am going to get my Ety's on a business trip this week in Zurich, Switzerland. I've also just bought a pair of Shure e2c's. So I can eventually do a review of these verses the Ety-4p if anyone's interested. My initial impressions are that the Shure e2c's are much more clearer...

Hi all, Does anyone know the impedance of the new 3G IPods? Given that maximum power transfer is achieved when the impedance of the headphones match the impedance of the output device it woud be useful to know!!! Entropic (just back from a birthday party... hic...)

Hi all, Right, I've been spinning around in circles over the Ety vs Shure debate... Please vote for your favourite!!! Entropic (in the head as well) EDIT: I am not taking into accout cost here... just your opinions about the product itself.

Hi all, Can anyone recommend me an audiologist in London to either do ear "impressions" or to fit me with some Ety or Shure custom earphones? Also, does anyone know whether it's possible to get custom earplugs which are "multi-functional"... e.g. one which I can remove a canalphone driver...

Hi all, I live in Central London (England) and went searching for decent headphones over the weekend. I could find Sennheisers everywhere but when I asked about Shure headphones I was met with blank expressions and was even told "Shure doesn't make headphones"... This was not in your...

Hi all, I've been looking around for some suppliers for Etymotic and Shure headphones in the UK. At the moment I am interested in the Shure E2c's and the Ety 4p's but whenever I "Google" it I just get a myriad of suppliers in the US! I have already arranged to pick up a pair of the Ety...

Hi all, I've pretty much decided to go for a pair of Etymotic 4p's to compliment my new IPod (thanks for all the responses everyone). The question now is about a second set of phones. (For the gym and whenever I want ot move about a bit) Do I go for the Etymotic 6p's or the Shure e2c's...

... I vote for the Sennheiser HD25SP's PRACTICALITY They are very durable and take a hell of a lot of abuse (being at the bottom of kit bags etc). The headphones can be removed from the headband so you can share music (if the need arises). Also the cans will rotate so that you can lift them...

Hi all, I almost gave myself a nasty emotional trauma when my new IPod (3G 30Gig) went crazy after I plugged in into the changer today. The symptoms? There "clicking" noise starting "clicking" like a geiger counter and the menus started flashing like crazy. The cause of the problem...

Hi all, I have searched though this site and haven't found an answer to this. Can anyone who has used the Etymotic 4P and any of the Shure series (i.e. e1c, e2c, e5c) comment on the strenghs/weaknesses when compared with each other. Thanks Entropic TO "CD44HI" SORRY FOR THE...
