Which canalphone is the most concealed when worn. Meaning, which one is the hardest to see when they're in your ear. I know that the shure e3's are pretty small. What about other ones. Westone UM2? Dont tell me ue10 pros or sensaphnics, or any other custom molds. Universal canalphones, that are most concealed when worn. THanks

well all the Shure phones are hard to see if you have slightly long hair
except for the E3c because it's white

 

[enzoferrari650]

but the e3's are a lot smaller. I'm wondering which one is the smallest and hardest to see.

For wearing in class, I take it?

If you have some hair, the E5 with cord run down the back should be virtually invisible. Now the question of what to do if the teach calls on you

 

[commando]

Paint them in camouflage. I have some experience in this area, E3's would so stand out in the forrest battles of borneo or the street battles of bosnia

 

[wolfen68]

E3's are small but stick out. E5's would probably hide better. Even though you said don't mention it....it seems the sensas are the most inconspicuous.

Those are my Westone UM-2s. If you have long hair or are wearing a hat with the cord around your back, no one will no they are in. Even without, I have had to stop people from talking to me because they didn't notice I was wearing them. Either that or they thought I was wearing hearing aids

. From the pictures I have seen, the sensaphonic softs are almost completely invisible and have a much lower profile.

 

[enzoferrari650]

those look pretty sweet.

Actually, Future Sonics EM3 are probably the most inconspicuous since they're small and flesh colored. I think they look pretty ugly but they've been designed to blend in.

The UM-2s and E5s are both pretty chunky -- if I hadn't seen one of those before, I might wind up thinking "what on EARTH is THAT?!"

... and wind up selecting between "hearing aid" and "horrid case of earwax buildup"

 

[lindrone]

If you want universal fit IEM that's easily concealed, you pretty much have to stick with single driver models. All dual-driver models are are too bulky in comparison.

I think ER-6i would be a pretty good choice...

 

[insomniac]

I second Lindrone's Ety ER6i suggestion. I own the E3's but saw someone on the street with the ER6. Looked much smaller than my E3's.

 

[Thaddy]

Here is a shot of m ER4's. I modded the stock foamies by cutting them a bit so they go farther into my ear.

 

[bLue_oNioN]

Whoah, the visibility of the Ety in that shot is pretty darn near zilch!

 

[Kirosia]

The er-6, if you wrap the cord around the back of you ears. I'd use them in class. The er-4s on the other hand, are very noticeable if they don't fit deeply inside your ear. I used them in study hall one day and everyone, including the teacher, stared at me. For an hour.
