Can't hear PA, FA, neighbor snoring, etc. One plus about the etymotics - the buds are so small that you can actually lie on your ear and its not noticeable. Only a very thin wire protrudes.
Great that you use two different tips! I never thought of that. The thing I like the least about the Shures is that I have to figure each time which bud belongs to which ear! Minor for Shure! But with your idea, identifying the proper side will be much easier. Thanks.
