I'm still in my honeymoon period with my Grado SR-80's, I pick them over my Senn HD595's and Super.fi 5 pro's

I basically agree with those recommending Shures (which I own) and Westones (which I hear are very comfortable). Stay away from the Ultimate Ear line if isolation is of the utmost importance. I own Super.fi 5 pro's, and I can still hear the hum of the plane unless I start playing music at a...

Dahhh... some poor foresight, and the fact that I now work from 12am-8am means that it's not going to work out for going to the meet tomorrow. I'll probably be kicking myself for it later, but I'm gonna have to back out. Have fun, chaps.

Man, it sounds like you guys have actually had relatively pleasant experiences with the headphone jacks on planes. I had a miserable one on a flight on American Airlines recently, when I tried to use my Super.fi 5 pro's and the noise on their headphone jacks was damn-near unbearable. It got...

I don't do this often enough because my preferred speaker setup is in my bedroom (far away from my desktop rig), but the few times that I have sounded great. I used my Senn HD595's with my Monitor Audio I-Deck Speakers (known for their awesome soundstage at a laughably low price), and it was...

Jimi Hendrix - Jimi Hendrix Experience on my Super.fi 5 pro's... if you see a guy wearing super.fi 5 pro's on the NYC subway tapping his foot and bobbing his head, it's probably me listening to this fantastic combination.

Quote: Originally Posted by Indygreg Super.fi 5 pro is probably the best way to go. Lots of impact and bass. I love the sound of them. To me they are nearly a steal at under $200. The downside is comfort and fit - for some (me included). Coming from the Shure e2c's, I can say...

And that's all I have to say.

I was worried about this myself, but as someone mentions in a post above, I've never been so much as questioned for travelling with the PA2V2.
