They do have other color.

Cool case, the Elacin ER20 that we get here comes in a big bubble with no chain

They keep them at specsavers, making it easy for most people in the UK to grab a pair. No excuses, no more ear ringing madness.

If the triple flanges on my E500's don't fit in my canals, would these fit at all?

 

[gbadude]

I think i'm going to get me a pair, it's really cheap too!

By the way is it noticeable? Can you sleep with them in? My roommates and loud and annoying as hell, I already bought a pair or Er6i so I'd never have to hear them again.

The ER20's have triflange sleves that look identical to the Shure tri-flanges. In fact, I recently stole the sleeves off my ER20's to put on my E500s.

I took the seatbelt and airbags out of my daily driver and put on my dirtbike

For sleeping I'd just grab some of the cheap foam plugs for $1 instead. They're more comfortable than the ER20's and they block sound instead of attenuating it.

Agreed, plus the ER-20's stick out a bit.

 

[redshifter]

yeah the er20 are pretty great. just don't leave them in your pants when you wash them. it ruins them.

I know the ER's are really popular right now, but for people with small ear canals like me, the AOSafety Disposable E-A-R Plugs are still the best way to go, especially when you need to wear earplugs for hours at a time.

For those new to foam earplugs, do yourself a favor and practice putting them in your ears a few times first before you go to a concert.

I use similar foam earplugs, I also use them with my super.fi 5, excellent sound, comfort and isolation

Er, where can you get those in Australia for $10 (USD or AUD)? The cheapest I know of is that guy on eBay for A$27 a pair.

ER-20 is pretty even attenuation across the entire frequency range. It's as if you turn the volume on life itself down 20db.

Try idealsound on ebay. He sells all things Etymotic. Small stuff like that he ships worldwide for free. $13 USD last time I checked.
