sells. The
thing I like about hers is that they just kinda fit over the ear canal, =
as
opposed to in the ear canal. For me they are more comfortable. She has =
several
different models that cut more or less volume. I tried others before and =
never
used them because of discomfort. I like these quite well.</FONT></DIV>

<BR>> look for the ER-20 Hi-fi earplugs<BR>> <BR>> These are =
the best,
and easiest to get that I've found. Etymotic Research <BR>> is =
the same
company that makes the filters for the custom molded earplugs. =
<BR>>
I've got a custom set I had made, but I end up wearing the ER-20's
instead. <BR>> Yes, I do remove them for final =
tests/adjustments, or if
I just need a bit <BR>> more clarity up high. These are much =
more
tonally pure than the foam ones, <BR>> or the silicone surfer ones =
that are
available. I consider them a "must <BR>> have" tool in my kit,
especially for marathon tuning days, or practice room <BR>> =
work.<BR>>
