Do they have can you change the filters in shure se310 like you do with etymotic ER4

[ericwatson]

I was wondering if you can change the little green filters in shure SE line ear phones I have a pair of etymotics er4s and have to change the filters out when the get clogged from dirt or ear wax But at shure web sit I didn't see any filter replacements for SE so do you have to change them out or not
and if so where do you get them thanks for any info

Well, my E500's have these silver barrels inside their nozzles, similar to the one shown in pic #2 on this page: http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er4-filter.aspx

edit: according to this PDF from Shure it is a:
"Damper
This acoustically-engineered filter is designed to shape the frequency response."

from what i read previously, you can in fact use the etymotic tool to change the filters in the shure and westone line.

and in some cases it has a minor effect on sound, changing it slightly one way or another.

why dont you try using the ety tool and see if the filter screws out on the shures, no harm can be done im sure if care is taken, if they do post some pics and show the filter change process

not a good idea, because to get the filters out you have to puncture the filter rendering it useless once taht's done.

thanks for the replies but has anyone actually done this and does Shure recommend this and does anyone know where you can get filters for shure se310
thanks

I'm not 'shure' about the se310s, but my e500 came with an earwax scooper/loop thing. If you think its clogged, Shure sayz to remove the tips, and then gently (with the least amount of force so not to push the filter further in) scoop the wax out.

Yours didnt come with an earwax scoop?

What? My e500 have a white cone guard. So they come in both white and silver?
