in-ears for monitoring?
Has anybody tried these?
http://www.shurestore.com/index.html I've been told the isolation at low to mid frequencies is superior to the best over-the-ear types. |

I use E5's, they work well.

They don't sound as good as the Etymotics. Custom earmolds improve isolation although frankly I find the foam more comfortable for long-term use. --scott -- "C'est un Nagra.

I use the rubber ones, but isolation isn't all it's cracked up to be. I prefer to have a little bleed from the room, it's makes it a little more comfortable, it doesn't feel like I'm playing in the next room. |

I've been told the isolation at low to mid frequencies is superior to the
best over-the-ear types. I've found you really need a tight seal to get adequate bass from an in-ear. The custom fit units of Westone or Sensaphonics do well, but if either leaks then they are worse than a generic in-ear. Either of those are pricey $600+ units, and Westone has a triple driver job that costs more. I can wear a custom, that fits well, all day. That "fits well" is the trick and you have to be able to send them back for a re-fit if they do not seal or hurt our ear. That can cost for another impression though, in my experience. I liked the Etymotic's ER-6 series for their high response and Shure for the lower response. Koss "The Plug" was probably the lowest of all but it sacrifices the highs too much for me and the foam gets kind'a nasty after a while. All sound different and it depends on what you are looking for in sound (treble vs. bass). Personally, I love my Westone's as they fit so well, are easy to clean, and block just about all the ambient noise that wrecks the sounds I'm listening too. I use them beneath a motorcycle helmet which is a harsh environment for low frequency wind noise and while camping to block out the all-night kegger party in the next campsite. When they fit well, you get that cold sensation when you screw them into your ear canal and they seal up. Just gotta spring for the custom fit though. B~ |
