when i read the sentence saying philips earphones/headphones really suck... i thought you will be getting alot of flames from lynians. hehehee!

i used to own the 890 and 895... and to be honest... i love 'em!

alkt,
if u find the prices cheap pls pm me can???? i wan tumpang u buyyyyy

geejun2,
just got back from Wan Chai PC Centre. 1 shop offering the er6i for HK$980 while others offered HK$998-1080

But the problem is...if i buy and bring it back...how do claim warranty larrrr since it's ok HK warranty

hi all,
update on the Etymotic er6i, cheapest so far i found is HK$890 so u do the maths

that's RM426!

RM426 is pretty ok, discountheadphone would sell them for around 110usd shipped. a used er6i is alot cheaper but not everybody likes used earphone...let alone "in" ear monitors

holy crap~~that expensive?? but the B&O one is really nice

unfortunately...that's all it is good at...."look"

Rm426 for a new on the spot er6i cheap mah, dun need credit card also

gonna get them by next week if i get my pay

the problem is whether they are worth it or not. I didn't like the er6 one single bit, how much can the er6i deviate? as for the ety er4, tha's a different story. it's by far the best iem at <usd200 that i've tried. anytime eat up the e4 alive. if you wanan be safe, just fork out a little more for the er4.

bah Alamak....really alamak lar. i just got them then came to check the forums then i alamak

but anyway, really like them. really block every noise including those noisy buses and trams in HK here

lol.. u beter check ur ears when u are 50..

yeah, isolation is very good

rite.... using canal phones will give u ear problems by 50

hmm, found out that even though it really closes up my ears. still finding some ways to listen properly on my left ear cos the flange position a bit cacat

yeah it takes time to practice using the triflange. for the mean time, maybe u just wanna use the foamies, that gives IEM n00bs the best seal. when u are used to the triflange, it's damn easy to use, just put it in, twist a little and u're done.

yea i know, been trying that yesterday night til i fall asleep

erm.. ear problem by 50?? i think i am having some rite now at 24..
loved walkman, discman since i was small... now... ipod after 3 years of savings...
hehehe

or maybe you'd wanna mod them to 2-flanges instead

Kiljim,
funny thing is in the package, got 2 pairs of 2-flange. 1 pair big and another pair smaller and 1 more pair is foam type. i just changed to the smaller 2 flange pair and happily using it.

just now tested it in the hotel room, listen to songs and my roommate turn up the tv's volume to 60 and i can't hear a single thing

er6i now comes with biflange? u sure u got the er6i and not the er6?
