I'm very interested in this topic as well. There seems to be several "lossless" audio technologies in the wild (Kleer, aptX that I know of) but not a lot of end user products.

+1 for Etymotic. Loved my er6i's and can't wait for my HF5s to get here :)

  Quote: You would get the HF5

Quote:   Yeah that's a great deal too congrats! :) Now that you mention it I remember seeing them for the lower price. They would have been free under the coupon if I would have made up my mind earlier. Oh well...  

  Quote:   I think Amazon might just be confused. But if they do discontinue the HF5 they're too late cuz I just ordered mine for 19.99 shipped   

Just ordered the HF5s. As much as I'd like some nice full-sized open cans right now, IEMs are what I really need and for 19.99 shipped it's within my budget 

Not sure. Antonline's still good for it even though you have to pay shipping.

You are correct I meant MC5 :)   The coupon I got was from signing up for a 1 year commitment to Audible.com (audiobooks). I've been an Audible customer for a long time now and love it so it was a no-brainer. It's only $15/month anyways and you get a $100 coupon for select items, including...

Not seeing them on Amazon for that price...

Haha that made me laugh. Ok let me revise this a little: I'll plan on using the RP-21s for my recording, but as far as just listening enjoyment (isolation etc no longer an issue), what would you recommend? I'm gonna buy one of the headphones in that link (or maybe a camcorder instead), so it's...

I think the only thing I would record with the IEMs would be the violin. I was thinking I would just put the right bud in so I can keep in time, but I'm not sure if the hanging left bud would leak too much sound... lejaz brought up an interesting point: I could just monitor my playing through...

Had some ER6i's for a while and loved them, but they disappeared. I can get the HF5s for $20 on amazon after a coupon, but amazon says there is a "new model of this product", referring to the HC5s. Normally I always like to go with the latest stuff, but I can't get the HC5s for as cheap. So how...

Yes I love my RP-21s. My only issues with them are that they become uncomfortable rather quickly (I can deal with it for recording, though) and that they are waaay goofy looking. And I was thinking some of the ones I listed might be a bit of an upgrade. I'm leaning towards the HF5s because my...

I'd prefer not to buy used. Also, I need to use the coupon if possible. What I've read seems to indicate that the HF5s and the ER4s are comparable if both are un-amped), with the HF5 not being as neutral. The only amp I have at the moment is a cheap CMOY.

Hey, I've got a $100-off coupon for Amazon burning a hole in my pocket, but it's only good on a certain selection of products. (By the way, anyone can get this coupon if you sign up for 1 year of Audible, even if you're already an Audible user, like I was).   What I'm looking for is some...
