The Shure black "olives" foam tips fit, but I've tried them and the Image tips are more comfortable, easier to insert and remove, and provide a much better seal against ambient noise.

I, personally, would recommend the SF5 pros over the Etys. I have listened to both, and the bass is much better on the SF5's. And I have never had a problem with sibilance with them. Now the Shure E500 are another story--lots of sibilance there, so I keep going back to the SF5. I've tried a...

I bought a pair of the E500s (now the SE530) a year ago January and really wanted to love them. I like they way they look, I like the way they fit, I like the way they sound...except... except for the sibilance. The hissing S's drive me crazy. That's why last October I went out and bought...

I recently bought an Evolution jacket from Scott eVest (SCOTTEVEST/SeV® iPod and Travel Clothing Solutions™) that has solved my problems carrying my rig (which consists of a 160gb iPod Classic, an RSA Hornet amp, and UE Triple.fi 10 earphones). The jacket comes with a ton of pockets (25 to...

I work for a large electric utility. A few years back when everyone was getting new desktop computers, everyone also got a pair of headphones. Of course, they were the worst pieces of s**t it's been my misfortune to listen to, but they made it pretty clear that headphone listening was okay. I...

I did a blind listening test a couple of weeks ago comparing MP3 at 320kbps using iTunes' encoder, MP3 at 320kpbs using a LAME encoder, and Apple Lossless. Here's my setup: 4G (b/w) 40gb iPod-->Dock Connector/Cable from audiolineout.com-->Headroom Micro Amp-->Sennheiser HD600 with Cardas cable...

Here are my keepers: 1) Sennheiser HD600 2) Ultimate Ears Super.fi 5 3) Sennheiser PX100

Actually, the new Total Bitheads have come down in price. They're now just $150.
