I have the older version (the X3, not the X3i), therefore I can't really say which one I prefer.

I'm fairly certain that the "Etys have NO bass" opinions come from people using only the tri-flanges or the bi-flanges. The foamies temper that.

I like the black Shure foamies with the Etys, but I like the gray Comply foams more, especially for fit and comfort (I use the short Complys, which allow the tiny Etys to insert deeply into the ear and serve as an effective ear plug even without music playing ... they seem to stay in best of all ... of course, they don't last as impressively long as the Shure foamies do).

I'm pretty sure the isolation would be better considering that the Ety's are IEM's and the x3's and x3i's are canalphones which don't go as deep as IEM's.

Even with washing the Complys have lasted me for 4 months...It's probably because they are bigger than my ear canal.

Thanks pez and others for advice. But thanks to you I just bought a pair of er6is and the shure grey sleeves. (DARN YOU!) I had interest in these back when they were only found in just white...so when these came out in black I was extra excited, but the fear of brightness and nonexistent bass scared me. However, I hope to find that the shure black foamies will add a little more umph! I hear soozieq has had some success with the klipsch comfort/contour gels. If I can find those, I hope to try those out too.

 

[pez]

Hehehe it was all part of my evil plan

. But I do really think you'll enjoy them, if not, just throw them over my way, there's something I want to try with them.

 

[wildwildebeest]

so er6i over the shure e2c? the shures are only £2 more, and in fact £13 less if I have to get the black foamies as well...

 

[pez]

Yeah, i'm definitely betting that the ER-6i's are better than the e2c's.

 

[wildwildebeest]

ok I reckon I'll get them then. Jesus £50 is a lot to spend on earphones but I can pick them up tomorrow from the depot! :S

 

[filipelli]

i haven't tried the er6is yet, but i had the e2c...not a big fan personally...the comfort factor wasnt there, and it was too cumbersome for a basic iem

 

[quiksliver]

I had the shure e2c as my first IEM and it was really bad, like others said its big from an IEM, uncomfortable and really, really muddy sounding

 

[pez]

well um...i've always wanted to try any kind of shures, so next time throw them away my way. I might hate them, but as they say, another mans trash is another man's treasure

.

Will these also fit on the ER4P model and how does one know which size to get,
also how much of a difference is there between the Er6i and the ER4P?

Not iPod specific at all. I've used them with my iPod, Zune, computer, home theater receiver, etc.

The ER6i's have lower impedence than the ER6 so they are easier to drive with portable audio units.
