I can't believe you replied to this thread... I started this thread almost 10 years ago....     But I suppose the conversation is still relevant! I was a freshman in high school when I first asked about mechanical pencils. Now I'm preparing for the GREs and using them more and more. My main...

By closed I mean closed to leakage (for recording vocals), not outside attenuation, which isn't a huge priority.

Thanks all! Loving those superlux. How open are they? My friend does a bit of recording (usually in his room but sometimes in a little ad-hoc laptop setup in a quieter space) so the more closed, the better. I know at $50 there's not gonna be any perfectly-isolating studio quality recording...

Hey all,   My best friend at college is completing his senior thesis which involves a lot of listening to, transcribing, and analyzing top 40 pop tunes. Every time I walk past his bedroom he's sitting at his desk with headphones on listening to stuff like Ke$ha and scribbling furiously on...

i'm at Grinnell College and I think that Iowa's not so bad. I have my issues with it but those mostly stem from coming from the east coast. I just miss things like roads with names that aren't numbers, and that curve. And I miss food where the ingredients aren't things like snickers bars...

The ne-7ms don't look very low profile to me, but I couldn't really tell the size of them from the pictures. I also don't need the microphone aspect of it. But again, the comfort is the main thing. Thanks for all the suggestions, they've been really helpful. Some isolation and quality music...

my problem with the warranty idea is that my mom bought me these phones as a birthday present when I was at home -- so I don't have any of the original purchase information and I don't know if she does either. She might, but it would be about 1500 miles away.

Hey everyone. Freshman in college here, been here 2 weeks, and my PFE's just cut out on me. I'm getting no sound in the right ear. I was using them to help me get to sleep. NPR doesn't come through in my dorm room so I would listen to podcasts as I drift off to sleep, which worked great until...

Hey all. I dont know where else to ask this, but I've been doing some googling and figured I needed some real live other people to talk to in order to help figure this out .... I'm heading to college in the fall, and Im getting a macbook as a grad present. If I get microsoft office with the...

damn, those phonak things look fantastic...i forgot what headphone shopping was all about!

thanks...it seems like those SCL4s are a good deal then compared with the similarly priced options

I dont' know much about that SCL line, although amazon has SCL4s for about a hundred bucks. SCL3s are like E3C, you say, but apparently so are SE210s? Shure, why hast thou forsaken me? Do they seriously release all those versions of essentially the same headphone for different prices? These...

Isolation's pretty huge. These are headphones for situations when I want isolation -- long rides, intense work sessions, things like that. In terms of sound signature, I liked the e2c's fine, so I'm sure the equivalent on the new line or maybe a step or two up would suit me fine. I like the sort...

Hi everyone, I haven't been here in a long time, but then again I haven't been in the market for a while either. I'm going on a trip in the next couple weeks and my trusty rusty e2cs have finally met their maker. I struggled through with them for a few months, fiddling, twisting, and bending the...

Hey all -- My grandfather passed away this wednesday, and my grandmother was going through some of his old things and giving them away. Along with his WWII mess kit and his stopwatch, my grandma gave me my grandpa's watch -- a beautiful Omega automatic that she bought him right after they got...
