Great reply, thanks! Any opinions from anyone on whether there is value in making a price leap to the next level for my basic setup (oem, un-amped), or is the PK2 a good price/value point for this application? Any others to consider?

Has anyone compared a Senn MX560 ($30) to Yuin PK2 ($80)? Any others in this price range that stand out? I only listen through an Ipod Touch, is there a large improvement to be gained paying more for something like a PK1 or ATH-CM7 SV? I already have IEMs, looking for something...

I've read a couple of references to modding the ear pad without specifics. My questions are, what exactly is the mod and how does it affect the sound. (They are probably about as bright as I would want them now.)

Here's where I got mine: http://www.shure.com/accessories/psm_accessories.asp

As an E2c owner, I would not only like to hear a comparison of the highs/sound signature to these, but also to competing etys.

I did the mod, med ultra soft and sm foamie, it's a good combo for me and isolation is very important for my use - so thanks to whomever invented it. I'm wondering why people are having any issue with keeping the foamie in place? The flex tip keeps it in place on one end and the ear piece at...

I purchased Shure E2Cs to use under my helmet. I'm don't know what his goal is exactly, but the sound isolation of the Shures allows wind noise (the loudest sound on a bike at speed) to be blocked and the volume to be set at a lower level preventing hearing loss. I think this is a vastly better...

"less sibilance" and "more pronounced hiss"

I bought mine at the local drugstore, Walgreen's, which also has them available online.

http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=111889 I posted about my results with this mod in the above thread. The Earplanes are very soft and rubbery. I preferred them to the silicone and foamies that came with my E2cs. However, I prefer the ultra soft sleeves that I have since...

I'm still in the "thank you" stage. I came here before I bought my first set. All I wanted was an isolating set that would work under a helmet (enter the E2c with ultra-soft sleeve) and something small and open when I needed to be able to hear other things/people (KSC-75) - and both had to be...

I have only used the E2c, but from my experience I believe that they would work for every purpose you mentioned. I use the ultra soft sleeve, which allows them to be inserted slightly further than the other options. They have a very smooth, easy to listen to sound quality. A big plus for them is...

I regularly use a dab of isopropyl on the q-tip for my ear and follow with a dry one. I don't have any issues with wax build up in my ear or on my canal-phones.

I prefer the sound of the silicone to the foamies. Unfortunately, in standard silicone the Med was a little too big and the Sm was definitely too small. Then, along came the soft sleeves, and the medium is perfect since it's smaller than the hard silicone medium. Just order a pack of sm, med, lg...

I just got mine a couple of days ago and I prefer them to the clear silicone. The medium soft sleeves are slightly smaller than the medium clear ones, which ended up making them about perfect for me. Much more comfortable and the sound is similar to me. I can't get good comparisons doing one ear...

I'm new to the headphone game and recently purchased a Creative Zen Nomad with KSC-75s and Shure E2Cs, so that's all I have to compare. I would also guess seal is the issue. I was originally disappointed in the sound, bass especially, while thinking I was getting a good seal, only to later find...

I recently purchased a Creative Zen Nomad Xtra 30gig and I use KSC-75 headphones (all new). I noticed static in a couple of songs and suspected either the headphones or the jack, but later realized the static was only in specific songs and necessarily related to high or low frequencies. Is it...

I did some digging and found a thread with pics and a comparison. I would like to buy one set of medium sized soft sleeves. However, the original post has been modified and doesn't include the price with shipping. Also, I noticed on the Shure website they are sold 5 pairs at a time. Is this...

Pardon my ignorance on this, but are these replacements of the foamies or a different style sleeve altogether? Anyone with a pic or comments? Although not on the original list, I may be interested in a "medium" sized set (assuming they correspond with the sizing of the items that came with he...

Is the hard drive in the Creative Zen Nomad durable enough to use while jogging? Anyone have problems with this?

I went and got some Earplanes ($5.99 at Walgreen's) as suggested above and went to work on them. Disclaimer: I don't have any objective way of measuring any of my results and I only have one set of E2Cs, so I couldn't do straight back-to-back comparisons with a music sample. However, there was...

My E2Cs showed up, I wasn't aware that Shure doesn't supply/make a tri-flange for them. I'm used to them and think I'd prefer them since that is the type of earplug I use. Is there a tri-flange that works with the E2c? If so, where do I get it?

By ProleArtThreat: Quote: the E3c is much more suited to noisy portable situations than both my Koss or Ety phones Why, and would you include the E2c in that evaluation?

I normally ride with reusable ear plugs that look a lot like the er6i. My helmet liner is removable and I can easily remove a little styrofoam in that area to make the headphones fit. These would also be for relaxing at the race track in a tent at night (I wouldn't use these while riding on the...

I've searched the archives, but have a specific question and am looking for a recommendation. The noise isolation is very important for me because these phones will be used with an MP3 mainly on a motorcycle and for listening in loud environments. Etymotic attenuation is well documented but I...
