Outstanding

These earphones are superb ! This is actually the second time I have purchased these - my dog ate the first set! The bass is great - if you remember to properly insert them into your ear to creat a seal. They block outside noise just as they say they do and the sound quality is outstanding.

Falanged tips are the key, took me a week to get these things to work right

I bought these mainly because the overall good reviews of it. But once I received them I felt I spent a lot of money on only a mediocre set of headphones. This was because I found the falanged tips, the ones shown on the product, impossible to place in my ears. So i resorted to the foam tips, which are provided, much easier to insert. However, bass was lacking in all of my music and i was largely disappointed. Noise canceling was great though even with the foam tips. But tonight as I decided to write my review I gave the falanged tips another try and I finally found how to insert them correctly in my ear and to my surprise the bass came in! I can now finally feel okay about spending nearly $80 on a set of headphones. The sound is pretty darn good, but I still gotta say it is a pain to get these suckers in right, but once you find it you will be rewarded.

Etymotic Research ER6i Isolator In-Ear Earphones

The biggest advantage of the earphones are its size and weight: small and light. The best place and occasion to use them are when one's sitting down in a flight. Its noise reducing capability is as good as some of the better noise cancellation headphones I have used. I also use it during my daily walk. It cuts down the ambient noise but I can hear my own foot steps, which is somehow enhanced by the way the earphones are wore. The base on the phones is not as good as the original earphones with the iPod when one listens to relatively quiet music in a quiet place. Overall I think this product is still the best compromise among noise-reducing effect, size, and weight. Etymotic Research ER6i Isolator In-Ear Earphones (Black)

so-so sound

I like the design but was not close to satisfied with the sound quality. They isolate noise extremely well but the bass is thin and the music sounds tinny. I've had earbuds that cost less sound much better but I haven't had anything sit as snugly and reduce outside noise as the Etymotics. I bought them to wear while riding a motorcycle but I'm going to find something else.

"quiet" pleased

These replaced a pair of JVC noise cancellation jobs I've had for a few years. They are somewhat bulky, over-the-ear headphones that require batteries to reduce the noise of my tractor. The ER6i's are a nice replacement. I couldn't get the proper fit with the rubber flanges, so I use the foam inserts. Comfortable and snug, these headphones truly reduce the noise from my tractor. The bass is not what I'm used to, but I've read in a variety of places that bass is often artificially reproduced in other headphones and do not represent true audio. I'm not sure about that. Anyway, the high end is superb. I've heard instruments in some of my favorite tunes that I've never heard before!
