Hi everyone,

If you remember, I was the previous poster that was vacillating between the E2 and the E3. Thanks to all of your great advice, I opted for the E3 which I received just the other day.

I suppose this question may apply to the E2 and the E5, but it's mostly specific to the E3 since the shape is unique from the other two:

Does anyone who own a pair of these NOT insert the buds using the over-the-ear method outlined in the manual? I found it much easier and comfortable to reverse the L/R and turn it upside down (so that the the buds are still pointing inwards) so that the cord hangs down in front of you. I also tilt the buds slightly rearwards so that they are slightly pointed upwards and inwards (although the inwards part automatically happens because of the angle). It works great and I couldn't be happier with them.

If I did it the way the manual says to do it, I'd be fiddling with it for what seems like hours to get it just right.

It doesn't work with the E2s, the cord gets in the way. Though with the 2's I find you can put the cord over the top of your ears and still trail the cord down your front. I've been using mine like that for months with no problem. Whatever sounds good and is comfortable I guess!!
