Ety's in Public

[lextek]

Just wondering if anyone has every seen anyone using Ety's? Besides yourself. I know I never have. I was at my daughter's swim meet today. (she qualified for Regional Championships, proud Dad). Real noisy pool area. I had my iPod and Ety's. I was totally isolated from the noise, just nice jazz and great swimmers. Ety's continue to amaze.

Well, Singapore is not a place known for people with taste in headphones - mostly Sony streetstyles, cheapo earbuds - and I've definitely not seen anybody using them.

I think one of the reasons is that Etys, despite their portability, are hardly the kind of phones I'd use when on the move: the microphonic effect is just too much for comfort, and the hefty price tag prevents me from subjecting it to rough use. I use it mainly for monitoring purposes at home or when I really need the isolation.

i've seen etymotics on the NYC subways a couple times.

definitely not an on the move kind of phone. the microphonic is too much. it has replaced the mx500 for the 1.3hr train ride each day.

not sure if i could go back to the mx500 anymore after the etys..

I never have - even though time (or maybe newsweek) reccomended the ER-6s a while back...

I use my Etys so I can sleep on the bus, every morning.

Thanks Don!

i really want the etys for this reason. to use in public. although, they are 270 for the good ones and i dont know if i want to buy the er6 for 130... when i know ill want the er4 right away.. and i kinda want the Beyer 770 pro for deep bass. hmmm ahh desicions.. maybe i could get the er6 and the 770... hmm...


i used to swim... made it to districts finals. what events does your daughter swim in?? i was in the 100yd breast and 500free and 200IM. the im and 500 are tough. i just like the fun watersports, like bodysurfing, kayaking, rafting, wakeboarding, and so on...
