They sure do look pretty! Great pics Blackmore. I can't wait until the end of the month so I can put an order in to get them!

I know...I have just realised now that she's not wearing any clothes...by the way I got that picture by typing esw9 in google image (and there was also the moderate images only filter on)...so it's not really my fault!

These are some others...the last one is the prettiest of them all: http://www.sinaimg.cn/IT/digi/2007-1...57a05cf0c9.jpg http://www.akumakko.com/07112313_.jpg

I own the Edirol MA-15D and I think they are a very good choice for their price. They are a decent enough recording monitors, and they do an excellent job with music and movies. Unfortunately I cannot compare them with the Bose as I don't have them, and never heard them before.

I have found the SF5Pro to be way too uncomfortable (I have average/smaller ears) and they make you look like Frankenstein (they stick out way too much even after having flipped the cables). I returned mine a few days after I bought them. Quite a lot of people had a similar experience with them...
