I work in a fabrication shop that is very loud so instead of wearing ear plugs, I wear in ear monitors with good enough isolation so that I can listen to YouTube while I work. A lot of people with a loud workplace probably do this, I assume.
I know that etymotics are divisive because of how deep they fit. I ordered a pair of ER2XR And if they don't work out for me, I can just return them to Amazon, but I figured I'd ask around ahead of time, for anybody who likes this brand and the way that they fit, and finds it comfortable, have you ever tried to wear them for the full length of a normal work shift? What was your experience with it? If it was uncomfortable at first, but you figured out a way to make it work, what did you do that helped? Basically what I'm looking for is any possible tips to help improve comfort to increase the likelihood that I can make them work for me.
Worn them for longer on flights. It's very much a YMMV kind of thing, but I didn't have any issues with fit or comfort (I was already used to the ety fit).
The one HUGELY annoying thing is less about keeping them on and more when it comes to removing them for a moment because someone wants to tell you something inconsequential. It gets old fast. (More a comment of people not being able to keep to themselves than Etys).
