Salt Peanuts Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 So I went over to HeadRoom site to look for few things, and I can across blue Ety ER4 tips - http://www.headphone.com/products/accessories/headphone-replacement-parts/etymotic-er-4-small-blue-rubber-tips.php I may end up ordering them when I call them on Monday to order couple of things, but has anyone here tried them yet?

apnk Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I haven't tried them, but thanks for posting this. They might work for me since I have small ear canals, I have to cut off the largest flange on the regular tri-flangles. The coolest part is that they wont turn yellow like the white flanges!

Fungi Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 The "baby blue" hints at them being the same tips on the small "baby blue" version of the ER-20 musician's earplugs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I've never had any fit issue with the standard tri-flanges, but it would be nice if the blue ones work as well (or better) and don't turn yellow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkpowder Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 They'll just turn green. Yellow + Baby Blue = Lime Green? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted November 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 They'll just turn green. Yellow + Baby Blue = Lime Green? Eww. If I get them and like them, I'll make sure to take some pics if they do turn gross green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milkpowder Posted November 23, 2007 Report Share Posted November 23, 2007 I like the idea of softer triflanges. The white ones were still a bit on the hard side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ojnihs Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 never liked the triflanges myself, always preferred the foamies Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy gray tri-flanges btw. They are just like the whites except color. The grays turn yellowish as well, but they do not look so damn ugly and yucky.

boomana Posted November 24, 2007 Report Share Posted November 24, 2007 I ordered them. I like the seal of the flanges better, but the white were a bit too big for me. I've been using the Shure foamies which are fine, but it will be nice to try these out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted November 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2007 I ordered them as well. I'll see how I like them (or not) compared to the regular tri-flanges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted November 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 boomana, have you tried out the blue tips yet? I was hoping mine would be here today, but no luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted November 29, 2007 Report Share Posted November 29, 2007 Nope. I actually forgot. They're still sitting unopened. Thanks for reminding me. I'll go check them out now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boomana Posted November 30, 2007 Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I've had these in for a couple hours now. Perfect comfort. Perfect seal. I forgot I was wearing them. This is a first. I have pretty small canals it seems. I had some mini foamies, but they were a bit too small. I've been using the Shure olives, but the seal wasn't as good as good as flanges, though I could wear them for a long time comfortably. The white flanges gave me the best seal and sound, but irritated. These feel as if they were made for me alone. Thanks, Salty. I wouldn't have known about them if you hadn't posted.

Salt Peanuts Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 You're welcome. I'm looking forward to trying them - I should have mine today or tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Salt Peanuts Posted November 30, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 30, 2007 I received mine today and been trying them out for about half an hour now. My experience thus far mirrors that of boomana's. Though I've never had any real comfort issues with the regular tri-flanges, comparatively, the blue ones are much more comfortable and they provide just as good seal. Also, they're soooo much easier to insert than the regular tri-flanges. Later, I'm going to try out the K271 velours pads that also came in today.
