Quote:   I actually ended up getting the TDK BA200s instead of the Yamahas due to shipping issues, and even after just a few hours, they're lovely.  Have the volume high enough that I'm wincing in anticipation of high notes as they approach, and then it comes out completely painless :D ...

Quote:   Yeah, been reading various reviews, and I'm concerned about the treble for the Etys, especially as I'm not sure I really want to take the time to learn how I'd fix that right off the bat.  I'd rather sacrifice a bit of isolation than have painful music in the meantime.    ...

Hey all, could use some advice on IEMs.  Not looking to spend more than about $150-200, and my main concerns are noise isolation, long-term comfort, and durability.  I'm autistic and noise can be quite painful/upsetting to me - high frequencies like passing sirens or screaming children...
