Sound Isolation

by Brent from Gilbert, AZ

Music Background: Pro Musician
I've tried several different in ear monitors and have found that these are just what I need. Isolation depends on choosing the correct ear tip that works for you. If I want the most isolation, then th... read more [+]e larger foam tips provide exactally that. If just partial isolation then the slide in foam tips work best. I have Etymotic earplug protectors for use when I'm out with my sons at the pistol range and they work fantastically well. Try all the different tips. experiment with how far they need to go in to work well. I actually have to manipulate them a bit to get the best sound and isolation. The better the isolation the lower the volume so it protects my hearing better. HIGHLY recommended. close [-]

I find no appreciable difference in the 'noise isolation' of these in-ear monitors and those not touting noise isolation capabilities. They seem to function as well as other in-ear monitors, but certainly don't keep out unwanted noise any better than ordinary in-ear monitors. close [-]

Sweetwater's sales engineers are the most knowledgable and helpful in the industry. Your product selection and prices are unbeatable.
