Two possibilities... in-earplugs + head-earplugs... it cuts out an amazing amount of outside noise. There are also devices that can emit an inverse sound wave thus cancelling out the outside noise. It actually works... not perfect, but it helps.

I can't say I'd be surprised... the isolation when singing can change the way you hear yourself, and that could be disastrous if you're hearing a "distorted" version of yourself. But, without monitors, is it really any better? Maybe they take one out because they think it'll fix the...

...whoa, such a huge drop from 8 to 2 hours for a rechargeable? Is this just a general example or does battery life actually drop by 4 times?

The microphonics can be quite bad on the iM716's though I haven't had a serious problem with it. How good are your ears... can they pick out the little stuff? If you have a good sense of hearing, then the E4s might be good... for something a little more "fun" the iM716 should be fine. That's...

Hm, how well do all find adapting to IEMs? Facelvega mentioned that with IEMs, it's isolated so you can't hear any feedback from FOH/etc... do any of you find this problem? How is using generic Shure or other e2c-e4c/etc IEMs... any problems (vs custom molds)? Obviously customs are better but...

A lot of people have mentioned their disapproval with that volume control. It's heavy, it's non-audiophile-like, bad belt clip, etc etc. You should look at getting some different eartips. The mid-size or generic tri-flange is horrible for me... I can put them easily and get a good seal, but it...

Sorry, by performers I meant musicians, singers, actors, and everybody else that performs on stage. I can totally see that though.. you don't get the same feedback as you do with open-air wedges. Did they end up staying with their IEMs?

....after 2 years you got a replacement? ...AFTER the warranty? Wow! I guess they're serious - did you have to provide any receipts or anything? I don't usually keep that sort of thing...

^ It depends on what you're looking for! If you want bass, etc, then probably not. It's a good all-around phone with a good response.

The ER6 or 6i are great for sleeping... they're tiny, even with large bi-flanges... the small ones work even better, but unless you have tiny ears they'll get stuck and you'll wake yourself up trying to get those poor things out!

Yeah, I saw that JPop thread but wondered what people are actually doing. It's cool to pick out details that people would otherwise not care about! For reasons of performance - what are the advantages of each? What "generic" ones are out there that are used?

If the purpose you use IEMs for is for listening to music -- this thread is NOT for you. In-Ear MONITORS... the keyword here is monitors. On stage, what do your performers use? What works best for you? ...what do you do, and what do you use (equipment/surgical tape/etc)? ...and of course...

Yay... a much better review! I'm only worried that whoever that will be reading those reviews will get so completely confused between the two and end up finding another pair instead. Oh well, their loss! As for convenience trumping quality... is the iPod that bad? I can't say it's the cream...

That's awesome, thanks!

One last catch... do you have to be in the US to get the sample pack? I'm a little north of that but would really appreciate the sample pack! ...and yes, it's the ER-6i for me too...

Great news indeed... can anybody confirm for a fact that the Ety 6i's accessories fit the iM716 perfectly?

I started the breakin process with pink noise at a very quiet level, just so it gets used to having a signal. Turn it up to comfortable listening level for a few more hours... then pushing it to a louder volume, maybe about 95-100db at the ear (ie. not too loud!). I decided to drive some white...
