I have been using Koss "The Plug" earphones (and the Radio Shack version) for the last couple of years when riding on my motorcycles.
I am thinking about the ER-6 for better noise isolation and I have some questions.
Will the cord noise drive me nuts? The air blows the cord around now and I am afraid the cord noise I have read about here will be too much.
Do they stick OUT of the ears more than the Koss? I don't want my helmet pressing on them or I will be unable to use them.
Is the Airhead 4.5v any good? Will I need it with my portable MP3 player (Archos Jukebox) or radio? In other words, how sensitive is the ET-6 VS the Koss Plug?
Headphone has a "package deal" where the Airhead would only cost $70 more than the ET-6 by itself.
I am thinking of getting the Airhead anyway, as the output on the Sony XM radio will not drive the Koss directly. I am using a modulator and my FM radio to listen. I tried a "Boosteroo" and it did raise the level, but did not sound good (hey, it was < $10).
I never wear headphones except while riding, so other features and stuff is not important.
I assume the ER-6 is the best "in ear" noise blocking headphone?
Thanks!
