Hi,

two days ago I received my HF5 and I am VERY happy with these inears! WHATTASOUND!

I am living in germany, I ordered the HF5 from www.thomann.de
Since Thomann offers the HF5 I asked for the filters and they answered
my question in an Email. The filters are imported on request and may
cost 15-20 EURO (estimated by Thoman without exact nameing of the
amount of filters, which I would get for 15-20EUR). Delivery time about
3-4 weeks.

Since I like to be informed before I needed something:
Is another source known, from which I easily can order such filters?
Are there others filters known which can be used without neither
harming the sound nor my HF5 (or my ears)?
Are there other "trick and hints" known to circumvent these problems?

Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
mcc

I've owned the hf5 for about 6 years and I've never touched the filters.

Hi billybob_jcv,

great!

Suppose the case that I /have/ to change the filters (see subject of my posting)...
What do you suggest?

Best regards,
mcc

I would probably contact Etymotic directly. They sell the filters on their USA website - 6 filters for USD$15, and they will ship internationally:
