i know there has been discussion not too long ago about filters being interchangeable with different earphones from westone, etymotic and shure and that the etymotic tool in fact works with the shures. can anybody confirm this and is the sound quality improved in any way if it works?????

thanks guys/gals jay

Thanks for that! lol i thought id ask before i start prodding the etymotic tool into my shures and doing damage.

Ya. It would be painful to kill the Shure's nozzles with Ety's filter removal tool.

The E500/530s dont even have replaceable filters...

i know they dont but they have filters none the less, its just the user is not suppose to be able to replace them i just could ave swore i read the ety tool could do it...thats the reason i asked. i just ent got guts to try, just like most of us

Have you ever had the Etys? Because it looks like you have never seen an Ety tool. It would kill the nozzles of the E500.

Why do you even want to replace the Shure filters anyway? Just clean (carefully) it with the supplied loop digger-thing.

yeh but typically i dont own it currently. my sig is a bit misleading, i dont own all of the earphones but have tested or had oportunity to test all of them, if it was true you could use it to change the filters i would indeed have purchased the tool, thanks for puttin me on the straight road anyway

its not a case of me wanting to replace old filters but instead tinker with sound properties if the procedure was true

I have replaced the fliters in my shure E4's with etymotic ones. The Etymotic fliters are exactly the same size though i didn't need to use the etymotic removal tool since the nozzle on the E4 is removable so i could push it out from the other end with a pin.
