Hi,
I purchased Etymotic Research Er-6 two years ago after I borrowed my brother's Audio-Technica A500 and I realised what a big difference quality earphones make over $2 earphones. Unfortunately, until recently I never managed to get a good fit and hence Er-6 always sounded inferior to A500.
Now that I can (sometimes) manage a decent fit Er-6 are starting to play up so I am looking at upgrading to better IEM.
Most of the time these will be used when I watch anime on my laptop whilst I commute to/from work so noise isolation is one of the most important factors. I don't actually listen to music but I love positional/3d/surround sound.
The FreQ user impression thread has got me so excited that I have already booked an appointment with Hearing Aid Specialist this Thursday to get impression of my ears. I just need help in deciding which model is suitable for me.
Will the number of speakers make a difference for me? If so, what difference? btw, how many speakers does Er-6 have?
Thanks for your help!
