Ety ER6i advice.

Hi All,

I've decided on getting some ER6i's to replace my Shure E2c's. The Shures sound great but have never been the most comfortable fit. The most annoying thing is the flex is so stiff that if you're on the move the phones are prone to working loose. I've tried all the different tips that came with them but none seem ideal for my ears. There is also an intermittent problem left side so time for them to go.
The seemingly daft question therefore is how flexible is the wire on the ER6i's. I live in NI am unaware of any local stockists where I could find out for myself.

Cheers.

Very flexible and very thin,so be aware they will need a lot of TLC to keep them in good condition.
One advantage is the fit is extremely comfortable ( Speaking as someone who has to wear similar earplugs for the very noisy environment in which I work) . Most importantly the sound is excellent (especially when used with one of the small battery operated headphone Amps available nowadays ).
