Etymotic Research ER6i Isolator In-Ear Earphones July 3, 2008
The biggest advantage of the earphones are its size and weight: small and light. The best place and occasion to use them are when one's sitting down in a flight. Its noise reducing capability is as good as some of the better noise cancellation headphones I have used. I also use it during my daily walk. It cuts down the ambient noise but I can hear my own foot steps, which is somehow enhanced by the way the earphones are wore. The base on the phones is not as good as the original earphones with the iPod when one listens to relatively quiet music in a quiet place. Overall I think this product is still the best compromise among noise-reducing effect, size, and weight. Etymotic Research ER6i Isolator In-Ear Earphones (Black)
Falanged tips are the key, took me a week to get these things to work right July 3, 2008
I bought these mainly because the overall good reviews of it. But once I received them I felt I spent a lot of money on only a mediocre set of headphones. This was because I found the falanged tips, the ones shown on the product, impossible to place in my ears. So i resorted to the foam tips, which are provided, much easier to insert. However, bass was lacking in all of my music and i was largely disappointed. Noise canceling was great though even with the foam tips. But tonight as I decided to write my review I gave the falanged tips another try and I finally found how to insert them correctly in my ear and to my surprise the bass came in! I can now finally feel okay about spending nearly $80 on a set of headphones. The sound is pretty darn good, but I still gotta say it is a pain to get these suckers in right, but once you find it you will be rewarded.
 Great for Motorcycling July 3, 2008
I am really happy with the quality and comfort of these earphones. They work great while wearing a motorcycle helmet - even though after a few hours they make my ears a little sore. That is probably due to my ridiculously small ear canals and not the earphones themselves (even my custom ear plugs make my ears hurt). My husband bought a pair, and so did a few of our friends. We're all very happy with them. They come with several different sized rubber and foam plug options as well as a very nice, small carrying case. I really like the fact that they isolate outside sound so well - a must on my very noisy motorcycle. I use the smallest rubber plugs and I noticed they seal even better if you follow the manufacturer's recommendation and make them a little wet before inserting them. Kind of feels a little gross at first - not unlike getting a wet willy from some creepy, weird uncle, but it's effective nonetheless. My only complaint is the clip - it's largely useless when hauling down the road with the wind tugging at the wires. Overall, an awesome product. If I ever lose this pair, I'll most definitely buy a replacement set. Prices can range from 72 - 135 bucks, so shop around.
Earplugs that play music June 23, 2008
After reading the reviews about this product I decided to go with these headphones. I decided to purchase these to remove the noise of the engines while I'm flying. I was doubtful that these small headphones could produce quality sound. I was delightfully surprised. If you're looking for something with heavy bass these won't do it. They do produce crisp clear sounds with nice high, mids, and lows. They have also fixed many of the issues that were problems with the original white version of these. Namely Right and Left are clearly labeled, 90 degree connection to connector, and are easy to remove. The one minus I found was that the only ear pieces I could get to seal properly were the expanding foam(ear plugs). For those of you looking to purchase these I would say if you don't like having ear plugs in your ears you might want to look at something else.
Very satisfied! June 19, 2008
I purchased the ER6i earphones primarily for use while motorcycle touring. I ride a sport-touring bike with a full face helmet. The low profile of these in-ear earphones allows a really nice fit under the helmet. Sound quality completly meets my expectations and matches units costing significantly more. The solid fidelity of the earphones combined with the noise reduction offered by the in ear design eliminates the need to really "crank up" the i-Pod in order to hear the music. I am very satisfied with these earphones and recommend them highly!
