Apparently, Shure has increased the length of the nozzle on the E4 series IEM's, as noted by Bob in this thread: http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=191596
There was a picture posted by somebody showing the different lengths a couple of days ago, but I can't seem to find it.
Anyway, getting to my question, can any of you fortunate folk with new E500's tell me if the nozzle length on the E500's is short like the old E4c's or long like the E3c's and "new" E4c's? As a point of reference, the nozzle length on the "old" E4c's is just about exactly equal to the length of the core tube in a Shure yellow foamie.
The shorter nozzle length was one of the many things I liked so much about the E4c's in comparison to the E3c's--they fit perfectly in my ear canals without worrying about jamming them in too far.
I'm battling the urge to order the E500's, and if they have long nozzles, perhaps I can fend off the inevitable a bit longer.
