About Me:

On the move. Isolation, durability & comfort are more important for me than SQ.

Headphone Inventory

Current EDC headsets:
Samsung HS3000 - main set, 'coz it's wireless. Terrible SQ.
Logitech Ultimate Ears 350vm - on airplane flights and as a backup when HS3000 runs out of juice.

Sometimes:
Denon AHD2000 – pros: design, SQ. Cons: too warm.
Audio-Technica ATH-A700 – light, comfy, good SQ.

Not using:
Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 - open design lets in too much of outside noise
Brainwavz beta – well built, bad fit, poor SQ, no isolation.
Sleek Audio SA6 – good SQ, crappy cable – fails too often.
Etymotics HF2 - durable, OK SQ, filters fail (clog) too often, unreliable.
A few Sansa Clip+ earphones.

Source Inventory

Mobile phone (audiobooks)
Ultrabook computer

Sansa Clip+, Sansa Clip Zip – overhyped crap. Don't last long; either headphone socket fails, either screen.
