I had custom ear molds for my Ety's, and they wound up breaking the plastic housing.

Headphone Heights

Welcome to Headphone Heights, the place for all your ear bud discussion

I had some Ety's a few years ago, and liked them enough to get custom ear molds. The plastic housing that holds the filter eventually broke from the pressure of supporting the molds. Just thought I'd let you know what happened with mine. Perhaps there is a company that does the molds differently so this doesn't happen.

Ety replaced my headphones at no charge, even though they were outside of warranty and the molds weren't made by a company associated with them. They are a great company.

Now I have Westone UM3X's, and like them very much.
