I've narrowed my list down to these two. The Etymotic Research ER-6i and the Shure E2c.
IF you have used both of these, which do you prefer?

I haven't used either, but I just ordered the er6i. It seemed to be the consensus from here and http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2
I will let you know what I think of them.

I've been using both and so far, my opinions have been back and forth. Out the box, the Shure's had the put on and go comfort and sound, but now that I've cut the top piece off my ER-6i flanges, they are winning for comfort. The ER-6i has an enhanced "realer" sound. So you hear the same song...just better. You hear background stuff that didn't come through before and the song is crystal clear.
The Shure's give you an enhanced listening sound. They add a bit of bass and treble to make the song nicer + doing what the ER-6i's do...
Again, this is only after about a week of listening. I will be posting my full review when I feel that I've done everything I can to get the most out of my headphones (trying the correct size, getting the right seal, etc.).

I decided to go with the E2's. Both seem to be well regarded and I was able to get the Shure's for $69 and free shipping.
