*The ER6 does appear to work well with disc drive type Mp3 Players, however we have had reports of poor performance with some Mp3 Players, in particular the solid state flash memory type.

**We have had reports of good success wearing helmets with the stock ER6 (no custom molds), but we advise against using the ER6 with a helmet if you have average or small ear canals, and the ER6 will not work with custom molds and a helmet.
