Since E5c is soo sensitive(Hiss problem), Has anyone tried to use it on the plane?
I have used my ER-4 with Supermacro plugged on the Plane(Singapore Airlines) system, and it's very wonderful.

Thanks in advance,

maybe it has to do with pressurization, I read a review about this problem, you need to insert them in after the plane takes off, if you have them in while the plane is taking off, it throws the plugs out of whack.

No, the hiss is due to the fact that the e5 is one of the most sensitive phones out there and hiss can be heard with many sources, much less an airplane jack. A level attenuator (er4p- er4s converter, or Shure's) solves the hiss problem. Plus the volume level might blow your hearing if not attenuated!
