Manufacturer's Description
Get the most from your iPod with the ER-6i Isolator earphones, which deliver plush, clear tones to your favorite tunes. The phones are compatible with any portable audio player with a 3.5 mm stereo plug. The phones are also lightweight and compact, fitting conveniently in a shirt pocket, purse, or iPod carrying pouch. The elite audio performance derives from the phones' high overall sensitivity and the noise-reducing design, which reduces environmental sound levels by 30 to 35 dB, allowing listeners to hear the full range of today's digital recordings without having to play them at extreme levels. The design also reduces distortion and improves clarity. Users who are particularly attuned to fluctuations in audio quality will appreciate the filter changing tool and pair of replacement filters. When a filter eventually gets dirty and reduces the earphone's output, the listener can install a new filter in minutes. Whether your component of choice is a portable MP3 player, CD player, DVD player, or laptop, the ER-6i Isolator earphones are a great fit. The phones come with a shirt clip that keeps the cord close to the vest and a storage pouch.

Etymotic ER-6i Earphones- Excellent product
I needed a good set of noise cancelling earphones to remove high background noise as I exercise around our heli-deck on an offshore oil and gas production unit. These earphones have proved to live up to the maker's claims. Using the foam tips on the phones proved to be the best solution to my problem without any loss of bass. This very effectively blocks out the high background turbine noise and allows the crystal clear sound of filtered music and singing to enter the hearing canal, sounding just as it should do. The clarity of the voices and individual distinctiveness of the instruments has to be heard to be believed.
The ear phones stay in the ear even when jogging or exercising in the gym and are very light and comfortable.
A truly good product and for discerning or even half discerning enjoyers of music, well worth the cost.

A worthwhile upgrade
Don't be put off by the negative reviews because it's definitely down to people incorrectly fitting them. I couldn't believe just how far you have to push them in (its a LONG way in), but when they're in properly you just know because almost 100% of outside noise just disappears. I was using a pair of the Sony in-ear ones which also isolate and these are just so much better in terms of mid and top end response and the bass (once fitted properly) is also clean and very tight. Well worth the money.

simple but best
Sometimes it's the simple things that go with modern technology that lets a fine product down, get a new car, have an MP3 player fitted, with stereos it was always the speakers that needed changing and with MP3 player it is the headphones. I can thoroughly recommend the etymotics, especially the 6i's; good sound isolation, comfortable to fit and to wear for long periods and very good sound quality and volume. I have used them on an old flash card based player and a new Archos, they improved the first from bearable to enjoyable and the second from good to outstanding
