Thanks. I think I'll carry the foams with me tomorrow. I have a short flight (YYC-SEA) for a few days before I head down to SJU. This will give me a chance to test them out in that fashion.
I guess new doesn't always mean better.. re: E5C. Or perhaps the audiophiles can tell the difference...

I tried the E5c's for a week and returned them to Shure. I was hard pressed to find much improvement in quality at all. Might just be my ears. Factoring that into the noisy ambience of an airplane, I thought it not worth the price difference. If you buy directly from Shure, they have - or at least did have - a no questions return policy.
