Meghan,

Those earplugs would have served you well in the Venice hostel. Have you ever encountered snoring to equal that experience?

Here is a good technical review of these earphones, including some audio charts.

“At their $129 street price, the Etymotics are more or less in the middle of the range for in-canal earphones. They aren’t perfect, but they’re the best in their price range. If you want to hear what they can really do, invest in or build a headphone amplifier. You’ll be amazed.”

Here is a more comprehensive review.

“If you’re looking to for a really sharp upgrade for your iPod or other portable player, and you can deal with wearing earplugs and blocking out all other noise, the Etymotics are a seriously good set of earphones. The sound quality is great and really can make the most of your portable players’ abilities, without having to add an external amp or a big pair of headphones to clash with your pretty white iPod.”
