Hello everyone

I am still looking for an in-the-ear-canal type earphone manufacturer.
I have increased the list price. Thank you.

Nice to see you Paf

Unfortunately this is not the item. The item on your link has an
external microphone. The item that I seek has a microphone built into
the earbud. I really appreciate you looking around for this apparently
hard-to-find item.

Best Regardzzz

Uzzz

Me again.

Based on the comment, below, I found another one that may meet your needs:


http://www.jabra.com/jabracms/na/en/mainmenu/products/cordedheadsets/jabraearwavebud/jabraearwavebud.htm


and I believe that Jabra is the manufacturer.


As for the ones I mentioned earlier:


http://www.buy.com/retail/product.asp?sku=90126157&loc=111&sp=1&queryType=


this one is manufactured by Koss, whose really annoying website is here:


http://www.koss.com/



As for the product at the SoundProfessionals site:


http://www.soundprofessionals.com/cgi-bin/gold/item/SP-TFB-2


I haven't yet found the manufacturer for that, but I'll let you know
if I can dig it up.



A manufacturer that specializes in in-ear microphones is OKM:



http://www.okmmicrophones.com/IE/okmhome.html
OKM in ear stereo microphones are designed to capture all 360 degrees
of your world.


Note the image of the dummy head on their page, with the caption "Head
not included".



I haven't posted this as an answer because I'm not sure what sort of
info you wanted on the manufacturer (and I'm not sure if I can find
one of the manufacturers, anyway).


Let me know what else you need on this.

Jabra makes one of these units, although I don't know the model
number.  I used to have one when I worked at Sprint PCS.
