IEM's and Beanie Hats

[theyeti]

It’s getting to be that time of season again. I plan to be purchasing either Shure E3c or E2's but being that winters are so cold here in Ohio I usually wear a Hat. Not a baseball hat but a Beanie Hat.

Question is will the Shure’s fit comfortably underneath the beanie hat?

Thanks for the help

Yes, no problem.

did it today with some etymotic er6i's which stick out more i believe.

Wore e2 and tight-fitting beanie a few nights ago - works just fine. Would work even better with traditional, looser fitting beanie.

I don't know how the E3's would work, but E2's are more or less flush with your ear. A beanie should fine with them.

I have the ER-6i's and I wear a beanie every morning to school. No discomfort here whatsoever.

Out of curiosity, does anyone here love the 6i's as much as I do? They're my first quality phones

Id go with um1 or um2s - as they fit flat against ur ears and pefect for beanie use.

this is something i will have to be investigating in the next few weeks living over here in the UK

Unless you really have to have IEMs I would also recommend getting the ksc75. They cover your ears to keep them warm and if you put the beanie right over them to push them against your ear it makes the sound better (imho).

its called a TOQUE, dammit!

Kinda depends upon your ear canal shape... I can get them in very deep when using the foamies so I'd have no problems wearing a beanie. On the other hand, Edwood has really small ears/ear canals. From what I've seen of the way they fit him I don't think a beanie would be very comfortable.
