Thought this thread was dead and buried.   Quote:   Yeah, the isolation is all right, they come with a good set foam tips of small, medium and large. However I've realised that the medium doesn't seal perfectly and the large is too uncomfortable for me, but that's obviously a case by case...

So recently the jack strain-relief on my Phonaks started to fall apart, absolutely heart breaking after 5 long years, but what was exacerbating was the fact that the Phonaks have been out of production in a while, and not only so there didn't seem to be any easy way to get my hands on a new set...

I'd been out of the IEM game in a while (like, quite a few years), having got the Phonak Audeos and later on a pair of Sennheiser HD595s, however now my Phonak's are starting to show signs of wear (after 5 years or so) and it's getting harder and harder to get filters here in the UK. So, I was...

Verdi's Requiem by Georg Solti and the Vienna Phil with Sutherland, Pavarotti and pals is pretty good in my opinion: (UK Link) http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B000GUJZVE/ref=dm_dp_cdp?ie=UTF8&s=music&qid=1308417937&sr=8-8

Just want to name some from my bank of music, in order from most subjectively flawless to less-but-still-quite flawless (linked with what I think is the best track in the album, because let's face it, sometimes one part of the album is more flawless than other parts combined): The Beatles -...

lol, Mahler's 6th, I don't know what was more hilarious about it, the giant hammer or the off stage cowbells that sounded like someone was constantly tripping up while carrying a pile of plates

Crayons can melt for all I care - Relient K, just for the irony   Edit: For those who don't understand, see: I just wasted 10 seconds of your life

Quote: Then you are excused, haha.   And yeah, Code Geass was just epic, it was just an epic anime that provided so many different forms of entertainment, it was ridiculous and good, then in the second season it got ridiculous and sorta bad, then in the end it just got ridiculous. But...

This might be the music you're looking for: It's anime, I know, but if I'm guessing right, this should be more in the vein for the music you're looking for, most of the related also have choirs. What you can also have a look at Hans Zimmer's Inception album, mind-blowing movie, mind-blowing...

While my favourites are Abbey Road and White album, none of the Beatle's albums are actually bad, and in my opinion any of their albums is a good starting/continuing position for people to get into their music.   Warning: Anything is good, EXCEPT Yellow Submarine. There's like what? 6 actual...

Actually, I can't believe I forgot these: And to save space: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kakQT8sehTw   And yes, I know I'm spamming Code Geass somewhat

Yeah, erm... Beethoven's 9th, sit down, enjoy, and subsequently jizz.   Edit: By familiar, do you mean you've listened to all of it? or just a crappy snip bit that was cliche-rised by culture? It absolutely pains me when I see a "Simply Beethoven" boxset in HMV and to find only the 4th...

Pretty much everything by Massive Attack's got deep, deep bass. Though the "How To Destroy Angels" EP by the titular band is not light on bass either.

Quote: You need to realise that us british people have to pay £30 for the 8 green ones, and be aware that £1>1 Euro. So you can be selling them on ebay and have a greatly-variable profit margin :P   And yes, that goal...

Quote: Yay, thanks for that, I guess I'll just wait for it for sales, or leave it til a later date, if i already prefer the greys to the blacks, then the greens will be like 'lolz'
