Etymotic ER3SE & ER3XR IEMs

Just returned a pair of ER3XR to Amazon today. The sound was absolutely spectacular. The bass, although many consider light, I consider perfect. It's very tonal/punchy. I really love the sound of these things but unfortunately the ear penetration was a bit too much for me and caused ear pain/headache.
If you like this sound but don't find Etymotic's comfortable, consider getting the Ikko OH1. Similar sound but a much more comfortable fit.

tapanojumDeep insert is definitely not for everyone, sorry to hear you were not able to get a comfortable fit.
For anyone looking to test the waters for Ety deep insert, I'd suggest checking out their ER20XS earplugs. They have the same tip options as their earphones, so you can give it a try in your own ears. They are also great filtered hearing protection, filtering for the same reference profile as the phones.

GiantHeadphoneSquidIs wearing a foam earplug slightly similar to how a deep insertion would feel?
Also, do returns still apply for international customers?

medlI would say a traditional foam earplug is closer than most IEMs to Ety deep insert - they do offer a (huge) foam cylinder as a tip option, but I never even managed to even get them in. I use the standard tapered triple flange in the pictures and I really love the fit, while I am much pickier about normal 'olive' IEM inserts.
No idea on international returns, sorry.

medlYes, Ety ER3/4 feel very much like a fully-inserted foam earplug. If you can comfortably wear fully-inserted earplugs, then you should be able to comfortably wear Ety ER3/4.
As giantHeadphoneSquid pointed out, Etymōtic Research also makes earplugs that use the same tips as the ER3/4. The earplugs, however, have slightly larger housings, so cannot be inserted quite as deeply. I do not find my Ety earplugs to be as comfortable as my ER4 due to the larger housing.
Also, Ety offers, but does not include, a beige colored foam tip with a much smaller diameter than the included foam tips. These tips don't isolate quite as well as the included silicone tips, but allow less bone conduction than the silicone tips.

tapanojumI've had the ER-4P Micropro earphones for quite a while and use Comply foam tips and never had a problem with long listening times.

Should I exchange the PC38X for better headphones?
I bought the PC38X headphones FOR GAMING and they are great, but I have NO use for a Microphone since I don't do competitive gaming and I was wondering if there were better headphone options at a similar price without a headphone, where (presumably) more of the cost was put into making it sound better. I also find that my PC38X don't get quite as loud as I would like and I was wondering if a cheap amp like the iFi Go link would draw a little more volume out of my phones. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BN6MM822?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details I went with the PC38X since it was considered the best bang for buck headphones. I care most about using spatial apps like DOlby Atmos and DTS Headphone:X. Suggestions are welcome.

Looking for a gaming/content audio setup
Hello! I'm looking for recommendations on audio setups. I'd be planning on using it mostly for gaming. Preferably I'd like a pair of large closed back headphones since I have a big head and jaw. I'd also like to hear myself through my mic with mic monitoring. As far as budget goes, I don't really have one. But under 600$ would be nice. I can go higher if needed. The audio setup would be connected to a high performance PC. Thank you in advance for any recommendations!

$10 Drop Coupon Email not sent?
Trying to buy some gear off Drop for the first time. I was told I would receive an email with a welcome to drop $10 off promo. I never received that email. Drop was able to send me emails for my login token and email for Password update. But for some reason the $10 off coupon was never sent to me.

New here
Hello, I just joined, primarily for the audiophile products. Looking at purchasing the NHT C3 speakers for our new living room. Space is about 15 feet wide by 33 long and they will fire long ways. Space is just for general listening, music room with all equipment is downstairs, so hoping they will fill it with sound nicely. Cheers.
