Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I am a concert sound engineer at an 850 cap performance arts venue in Portland, OR. Between the similarly spec'd Westone and Etymotics, these immediately stand out as passing the least colored sound. Specifically, they filter noticeably less out above 5khz than the other ones I compared them to; this leads to less of an urge to take them out and in frequently while mixing. They also have a large amount of taper on the part that fits into your ear, leading me to believe they will work in a wider variety of ear sizes. One of my ear canals is slightly larger than the other; these fit perfectly in both. Overall, a tight and realistic sound at concert volumes, great fit, easy to get in and out. Great ear protection for the money!
