I picked up a pair of these as my first "good" phones, and I still have them, if that says anything. They do things in the high end that NOTHING I've heard since has matched. they DO have enough bass, but they wouldn't be my choice for metal or other bass-heavy music. On female vocals, jazz, and...

Anybody heard 'em yet?? gg

Hello All: What IEM out there comes closest to a combination of the bass presence and soundstaging ability of the Sennheiser IE-8 and the analytical, detailed treble of the ER-4P/S? I love the IE-8's in general, but on some music (acoustic jazz comes to mind first) I'd rather listen with the...

+1 on that. My favorite flying phone. I never had any pressurization / de-pressurization issues, I don't think the seal on ANY IEM is complete enough to cause a problem. gg Quote: Originally Posted by AmanGeorge Ety treble is extremely clean and crisp, and I really like flying with...

I thought that too for a while. Until I listened to some real Lo-fi rock (The Moldy Peaches - strangely addicting album) on Apple buds, couldn't stand it. Listened with my X-10's- totally different - mellowed some of the distortion and could hear things I couldn't on the cheap buds. I might try...

SO - instead of vomiting into a bucket you just post on Head-Fi? Quote: Originally Posted by iriverdude When artists vomit in a bucket, and call that art (perhaps with some arty techno babble to make themselves look more intelligent) it's not art it's a bucket of vomit. They've got...

I don't have quite THAT level of distaste for the album... but I do think that as far as it goes in classic albums this is JUST beyond a novelty album - Dark Side of the Moon and Sgt. Peppers have nothing to worry about. This is more like the Boston albums - sold a shipload, but nothing...

I think she's below most folks radar yet - I don't think for long, though. I just picked up Begin to Hope, now I'm stoked she has something new soon! gg Quote: Originally Posted by pearljam5000 Oh my god,i can't wait for this album!!! 23 of june is just to damn far...is anyone else...

LOTS of great stuff recommended here. Gonna add two - Ys by Joanna Newsom - talk about ethereal, unique voices... and Julie Doiron - I Can Wonder what you did with your Day, just light fun stuff. gg

I have used the Gliders and liked them, but I had an extra set of the large Klipsch gels, and they worked GREAT - sound good (I didn't notice any wierdness in the midrange, and the highs sounded the same as the gliders - like ER-4P highs...) and fit more comfortably than the Gliders. I remember...
