These are Ultimate Ears, model Super.fi 3, and have small loop of wire which is actually the cable which go from the plug around the top of the ear and then join in the front. The part around the ear is stiffened. (Hope you can picture that.) Almost any high quality earbuds will come with several sizes of earplugs for them. This came with a set of four rubber-type and one set of foam. I prefer the foam. As 'faddish' as the name sounds, these people make very, very high end products (earbuds) for the recording industry. This model is sold by Radio Shack and is a bit less expensive (maybe because they are red and commissioned by RS?) than the regular Super.fi 3 models, but with identical specifications. The best part is they are extremely efficient, 13 ohms at 1kHz, so work very well with my K3. Now I must say I bought them because their response is virtually flat and I wanted them for classical music - no bass boost and all that stuff. You will _not_ need an amp with these. Also, I just ordered from a second company on Ultimate Ears' website, several sets of foam earplugs for them. They are unique in that they have a coating which helps them stay in the ears and the foam blocks outside sounds more. This company makes earplugs for the whole earbud industry, so you might find replacements in different sizes for your present earbuds. The company is Hearing Components and has online ordering: http://www.hearingcomponents.com 73 ...Edwin, KD5ZLB ____________________________________________________________ "Once you have flown, you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, there you long to return."-da Vinci http://bellsouthpwp2.net/e/d/edwinljohnson ______________________________________________________________ Elecraft mailing list Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/elecraft Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.htm Post: mailto:Elecraft@mailman.qth.net This list hosted by: http://www.qsl.net Please help support this email list: http://www.qsl.net/donate.html
