I used EtyPlugs for years so I'm familiar with the style. I like the higher dB rating and size of HearSafe - but removing them sucks - any tips?

Yes. Removing them sucks. I've been in "panic mode" a couple of times myself! Just gotta keep on keepin' on, right?

Dear Al, thanks for your inquiry, and yes we do pride ourselves as having one of the highest dB rating for high fidelity earplugs. As for the removing them, what we would suggest is try not inserting the earplugs too deep into the ear canal and see if the isolation is still equally good, as inserting them too deep might make removing them a bit more challenging because of the inconspicuous size. Another option is to attach the cord to it so that the tip extends out further and allows easier removal, however in your case where the cord is not appropriate, you can try cutting away the cord, and leaving just the connector tip on to act as a longer ear tip. Hope that helps! Dear Al, thanks for your inquiry, and yes we do pride ourselves as having one of the highest dB rating for high fidelity earplugs.

I know, I don't like the foam ones either. But there is another alternative I found and been using and far more comfortable! They are the TV Ears Rubber Silicone Extra/Replacement Ear Tips. They're really good though you fork out cash more but it's worth your comfort. Hope this helps.

I have Maggie's, but not on Grammas. My Outlaw subwoofer is on a Gramma, and the isolation improved the sound instantly and eliminated vibrations and subwoofer walk. I have not had a reason to place the speakers on isolators, and can't imagine any improvement, but your ears may be better than mine.

Hi Nader. I just kind'a squoze 'em down. Not a good solution, but the only one. (Interesting little app Amazon has here. More'na a year ago that I bought this item.)

Looks like the link is totally messed up by Amazon. I like the EXP26s. Not as smooth as some coated strings, but have seemed to last a little longer than the Elixirs I had before. Hopefully Amazon corrects it.

I don't think you have dine anything wrong. The designed is different from older versions. The most recent pair I bought sounded muffled as well. Shoould have returned but didn't, I will just buyna different brand in the future. It is a shame they used to be a decent pair of earbuds for the price.

They isolated noise very well for me with the stock tips, but it depends on what size your ear canals are. You can always just replace the tips with ones more suited to you if you find that it doesn't fit.

We had a Waste King in our home with the "EZ-Mount" attachment. (The black plastic part at the top of the photo.) The EZ-Mount sounds great -- no tools are required, and you simply turn a large plastic fitting until it is tightly fastened to your sink. Unfortunately, however, there is no way to prevent the fitting from coming loose. It repeatedly loosened up under our sink, which caused water leaks that damaged the cabinet. I switched to an Insinkerator Evolution with a standard 3-bolt mount. The Evolution costs a bit more, but it is very quiet. After I installed it, I had to turn the water off to make sure it was running! (The Waste King sounded like most disposals -- a loud rumble and roar.) So... whatever brand you buy, look for the standard 3-bolt mount. It is easy to install and does not loosen. Regarding the drain, every disposal has a slightly different drain height. This is typically easy to adjust with the plastic plumbing used for most modern installations. You can probably loosen the tube (by hand) that connects to your Badger and adjust it for your new disposal. Here is a helpful link to some good step-by-step instructions: www.diynetwork.com/how-to/how-to-install-a-garbage-disposal/index.html I hope this is helpful! Mark

It will be best to search for the right fit at the official website. FOBUS there you can find the correct fit and different styles. Also if possible purchase a pair of good ear muffs and plugs. The ringing in the ear will drive you Bananas. .Carry On.

For a true audio buff with excellent hearing, that may well be a true statement. For those of us who are older, (I'm 71) and have experienced some hearing loss, It's fine. I'm copying old vinyl records into my computer using a $30 dollar software package called "VinylStudio" which cleans up the pops and clicks, and the finished product burned to CD's sounds great played back on my good stereo system. So, I'm very happy with the standard cartridge. Having said that, I'll probably upgrade to a better cartridge by the time I get halfway through the big box of vinyl albums, simply because I will have worn this one out. I forgot to mention, I'm not a classical music buff. We're into the 50's and 60's music, that we grew up with. Best of luck in your decision. Dick

I own the er4p and hated the tri flange eartips. I purchased the shure E1/E3/E5 Variety Pack Ultra-Soft Flex Sleeves and those fit the er4 perfectly. I ended up using the small size and those fit perfectly and I get a good seal. The headphones seat a little deeper in the ear and don't stick out nearly as much. It is much more comfortable than the white tri-flange and since the shure tips are dark grey they don't get the earwax tinge like the white ety tips. Hope that helps. You may have to purchase those somewhere else since I couldn't find here. I got mine from an online retailer of shure accessories. I own the er4p and hated the tri flange eartips.

Hello Collin, Thanks for prompting us to update the description on the Amazon site. We rewrote and just posted more detailed instructions on efficient, practical, and expert use of the BATCLIP holster. You may be interested to hear that many of our resident users developed individual styles of holstering and unholstering their stethoscopes. Some were quite elegant, others a bit wild. Most used a variation of the same technique and for a while new users would come down to the e.r. when I was working for a personal lesson and a "license to wear." Please have a look at our updated Amazon description and let me know what you think. If you decide to make a video (how's that to turn it around?) we'd be happy to send you another BATCLIP (or shears) for your trouble. James Li MD (the inventor)

I have one of these Remo practice pads, and I don't like it because it is too loud (I gave it to my son). It wouldn't be too loud for an apartment (it probably won't annoy the neighbors). I just thought it was too loud for me. I didn't like listening to it while I practiced.I much prefer the RealFeel by Evans. It's made of rubber with a solid wood base, so it has very good bounce, and is much quieter than the Remo pad. The Evans is solid, with a really good feel to it. Mount it in a snare stand, and you have an extremely nice practice pad setup. The Evans costs more, but it's worth it. I felt the Remo was a waste of money.

So here is my experience (the squeamish might want to stop here). I use the silicone "cone" earbuds. When I go to put them in my ears I do a quick "lick" to lube the silicone with a little saliva. Yes, sounds gross, but a little moisture helps seat the buds deep in my ears. I wear these in many different circumstances from sitting quietly on an airplane (and quiet is the right word since they block a great deal of external noise) to various forms of exercise and most chores around the house. (Note that I've gone through one pair because I failed to adequately "protect" the loose wires running from my iPhone to my ears - not unique to Etymotic, but something to be careful of.) I really like these buds - they have excellent sound quality IMO and once in the ear, they stay put and they are, for me, very comfortable. One last comment - I started out with my originally Etymotics using the flesh-colored foam plugs and after six months switched to the silicone plugs. A "second last comment" - you should plan on changing out the "ear wax filters" (eeyuuuh) 2-3 times per year depending on usage and your ear physiology. Last word - should I destroy these in a moment of carelessness I won't hesitate to purchase another set. ghl

Buy a Skeleton case it will have all the connection openings cut out already and will improve audio. But won't be water prof or dust prof
