HassanShttp://www.hearnet.com/ the owner is a very interesting lady who has been around the industry for some time now. She will make sure your impressions are perfect and may do multiple molds to get it right.

HassanSGuessing you plan on getting a pair for yourself? At the very least, I love how they isolate you from your environment, all without the pressure that earplugs or other headphones require. The only oddity right now is how my ears pop when I have them on, but otherwise I love how everything sounds.

wild_oneDo these generally fit your ear like a puzzle goes together? I am trying to get an idea of what to expect. I would ideally like to use these when I am at the office, but need to be able to hear people if they are trying to get my attention so complete isolation wouldn't be ideal, but significant sound dampening would be great.

HassanSSo far, it's like twisting a puzzle in, I'm still trying to see if there's a different way that feels better. Removal follows the same general procedure, though you can just yank them out (doesn't feel very good). When you have them in, it generally sounds like when you get the impressions, in that you get the barest amount of sound unless you have nothing playing and aren't talking as well. Basically, you'd have to only use one side if you want to hear anything reasonable.

wild_oneThe best trick I've found over the years for getting CIEMs into your ear is to lick your finger and wet your ear just a little bit. Then twist in the monitor. Sounds a little gross I know, but it does the trick really well.
As for isolation, the more isolating they are the better they sound. With these in (and no music on) I can just barely hear my very loud DasKeyboard clicking away. I still wear open ear phones when I need someone to be able to get my attention.

walt_minkHeh... guess that provides a better seal, wetting your ears. I myself don't really have a problem with that, so I'll let someone else try if need be.
Isolation-wise, I'm fine with what the UERM provides. This was more for Hassan, though I'm guessing he'll have to wear them like a performing artist, with one in and one out.

wild_oneYou get used to the "twist" pretty quickly. I do not recommend trying to yank 'em out. It hurts a great deal. The nice thing about the UE cable connectors is how they are reinforced; it gives something to grab onto and *lightly* pull forward to help the rotation when taking them off.
Another helpful note: pressure release. For anyone experiencing ear pressure discomfort (or say, flying), one trick is to put your thumbnail under the bottom most part by your ear lobe (where the black outer plate narrows to a point beneath the logo in the picture) and push up. You should feel pressure equalize, and hear your surroundings better, and it will go away as soon as you release.
