If you are not getting enough bass with these then there is a problem with your seal or you have a bad source (like an iPod). In the reviewers case I think both may have applied. You obviosly didn’t have a very good seal because the bass should be no different between the 3-flange and the foams, they should both have pretty mind altering bass.

i for one like hearing the stewardess ask me if i want a drink ;) i read about a thing called a hushpod that lets you listen when you want – wasn’t built yet, but sounds interesting – t may, you could switch it on just as the trooper gets to your window :)

If you like bass, try the Future Sonic Ears Model EM3 earphones. Remarkable bass from these foam-tipped, in-ear wonders.

You can avoid me by not driving anywhere near a white 86 Ford F-250 on the freeway between Carson City and Reno ;)

Seriously though, it isn’t any different than some of these uber expensive cars with the windows rolled up. The difference is that I won’t wear them in traffic or in town, and I don’t need to crank them up to hear the music. I can also hear the full dynamic vocal range of artists such as Joni Mitchell, and the fingering o acoustic guitars, which is saying something.

T May, you should not be DRIVING while wearing any earphones/headphones ESPECIALLY noise-isolating ones. This is very dangerous!

I bought the more expensive ER-4P online. They are the version with the boosted base response. I think that there is an ER-6P (for Pod) version as well.

I use them with my shuffle while driving in my pickup and in my (machine) shop. Because of the noise isolation, you can run them at lower levels as well, which is much better for you hearing.

Etymotics: ER6i

I second Tony Korologos from The Apple Blog. I used to use the Apple in-ear buds and had real trouble getting them to sit properly in my ears. They would go in, but just easily slide out again.
I got my Etymotics ER6i a few weeks ago, they were actua…
