For about two months, I've been struggling with the fit of my Shure E3c earphones. I tried every size of sleeve, but for some reason they keep popping out of my right ear, no matter how deep I insert them (and yes, I've followed instructions and all that). My left ear is fine, but I don't want to hear mono music . When I look in the mirror, I can actually see that the right ear earbud is oriented at a different angle, I assume due to the difference in shape of my two ears. Sigh.

When I tried out the Etymotic 6i's, I did not particularly like the sound. The Shure's seemed far more vibrant. Can anyone recommend another earphone would very good sound isolation? If not, any suggestions for getting these Shure's to fit right?

The bose are the highest praised, Sony the lowest.

Great advice.

I think he meant the Bose Triport, not the Sony's that the link takes you to. Anyway, I would also reccomend the Bose Quietcomforts. They're extremely comfortable and light. I suggest you go to a Bose store and try it out. You will be impressed.

you guys, He is asking for in ear headphones, not giant bulky studio headphones.

I tried the E3c and the E2c and the E2c fit my ears much better.

Haha, yes, in ear. I just got back to this thread and I was like, "What the..."

Anyway, how's the E2c sound? In what way do they fit better?
