I haven't tried the Beyers, but they DO look more comfortable.. Ideally I'd try them both, but maybe try the Beyers first, if that's where you're leaning.. The HD's clamp pretty hard to the head, but you can break them in by stretching them out a bit (put them on a basketball, put a stack...

I second the HD 25-1's.. Excellent isolation.. You will hear nothing surrounding you (I couldn't hear my phone ringing right beside me), and nobody will hear what you have playing.. But they are brighter than the 600's, less laid-back.. They are also not full-size, but earphones, so it...

Hmm.. Never heard of them.. I'll see if I can demo one..

Quote: How confident are you that your E4 are seated in your ear canals properly? Fairly confident.. I wear ear plugs at work that are VERY similar to the E-4 tips, and you get to know when you have a good seal or no.. I'll try the Sony flash player before I resort to trying to...

I think I will try pairing them with the Sony NW-E407.. I remember reading a thread that the bass booster on that player worked well with the E-4's..

A moot point, it would seem.. The guy I bought them from wants a 20% restocking fee to take them back, and the $20 shipping would be flushed down the toilet, as well as what I would pay to ship them back to him.. I HATE living in the middle of nowhere!! I'm stuck with them, it seems...

So what would be a better portable source? The new Sony line of flash players (thier name escapes me)?

Quote: Will an Airhead also make it better? I don't think so.. I didn't notice any improvement.. I bought a portable Pimeta to go with it, with a good quality mini-to-mini connector to go with it, and all it does is help with the volume, not the fidelity..

How would they be for gym use? Too shhweaty for the gym, I'm guessing.. I bought some E-4's for my Ipod for the gym.. TOO accurate.. (strident highs), no bass to speak of..

I bought a used pair (a month old) so I'm assuming burn in isn't an issue.. But I tried mine on my Shuffle, didn't like the lack of bass.. Tried them on my PC with my PPA w/ bass booster (see sig for my set-up).. Still no "punch".. They are very accurate and tight, but a little TOO...

I know if I didn't like these top o' the line babies I'm probably out of luck, but here goes.. I bought a used pair of E-4c's for use at the gym with my Ipod shuffle.. However, I found them to be a little TOO accurate (the highs were very strident), and had very little "punch" (bass)...

I don't really care what it sounds like on my PC, as it already sounds fine on my HD-600+ PPC combo.. I was just wondering if that was an option affecting the actual shuffle.. I got a portable Pimeta for it (overkill, I'm told..too late), and E-4 Shures..

Huh.. What's the point, then?
