Fit is a BIG deal with Etys. If you struggle for good isolation with the silicone buy some comply T100 or TX100 (vocalists get the TX, you build lots of earwax in a band). Comply will also help make a natural EQ that increases bass presence as well.
If you are ok with chi-fi and want killer overall sound, great stage, great bass, decent mids, and ok-good treble response go check out the Monoprice MP80. No joke they are amazing. Side by side testing they were almost as warm and detailed as my K371s.
Edit: They also make tuning filter for the ER series, they go from more detailed trebles, to neutral to warmer/bassier. I'm going to try them all this weekend and get a hands on feel for the sound difference.
They seem to be shipping with the 2-flange tips now. These 2-flange don't go deep into your ear like the old 3-flange, nor do the foam tips. They will probably ship with all 4 sizes of 2-flange tips, so good chance to find a good fit. Once you determine best size of 2-flange tips, you can buy more in 3 packs. They go for about $20 at Amazon and you only get the 1 size. So best to know what size you need before spending up to $80 to try all 4 sizes. Bottom line is no need to stay away from Etymotic due to worry about deep penetration discomfort.
Seen that type of comment multiple times about this model and from my experience, it's true. The clarity on this model is unreal. I did a comparison with ER2SE (which Oluv recommends over the other 5 modesl in the ER4/3/2 line).
A difference between ER3 and ER2 and ER4 is that you don't need hardly any volume on ER3. You might need so little that it might be hard to get volume just right.
On paper, there is not much difference over most of the frequency response between the 6 models, but I found the ER3SE to sound very different than ER2SE. They're so cheap when on sale, you might try multiple models to see which you like.

Still playing with tips/filters/EQ, but overall I like them more with jazz/vocals. Even without EQ they didn't struggle with my favorite test by playing Paul Schwartz.
