Have been using my E2's for two weeks now and I think they are great. I find them very comfortable. I use the large flex sleeves. I did a test of ambient tv sound at a preety good volume and find them to isolate almost as much as the 4p's. Sound is very good. Good bass and mids, if anything just lacking a touch of detail in the highs. I have worn them for as long as 1 1/2 hours with no discomfort and actually forgot theyt were there.

I have been wearing them in the front rather then the back and was wondering if anyone else does this and if there are any tips for securing them better when you are seated. If I am standing, walking etc. the weight of the cord and the adjustment of the strap tube keeps them in place. However when seated they want to flop off of my ears unless I position the strap tube adjuster up under my neck ( around just below the adams apple area).
I know the phones are designed for stage use and to be standing. But was wondering what anyone else did?

This is one of those replies that doesn't answer your question. My e2's are arriving tomorrow so I'm glad you like them. I'm going to be using them seated and was planning on letting the cord hang down in front like you. Do you still run the cord up and over your ears to insert them?

I too wear them on the front rather than the back. If I wear them on the back they yank to much and usually is uncomfortable. When you wear them on the front, do you wrap them over the ears? If you don't, do; I you do try pinching the cord where the cord starts to curve over your ear (at the very top of your ear). That helps the cord stay curved and in place. I also pull the plastic tube slightly up to keep the cord in place.
