I had found the IEMs, and now, 1.5 year later, I have actually lost them. So I have the same question again (see opening post of this thread)! Are there any suggestions for good earphones with excellent isolation and mic? Somewhat comparable to the Etymotic HF2/HF3?

Thanks, very informative! :)

Hmm... That amp looks good, but for me it's too bulky as I want to be able to put the headphones in my pocket (and sometimes use them while jogging).

===== February 2014 EDIT (same question) =====   Original post was in November 2012 (when I thought I lost my IEMs). Now, in February 2014, I surely lost my Etymotic HF2's. The cables were on two parts torn already, but I enjoyed the Etymotics for 4 years. So I need something new.   However...

Yes, I'll be there! With a SR325is, K271mkII and a laptop.   I hope I can ride with Peter Polo, is there anyone else from Twente who is attending just in case? I'll prepare some good food! 

I saw this: http://www.SamenKopen.net/action_product/176590/902834   Not really something for us, huh?

So March the 27th, 10AM in Soest?   I'll be there, and bring along my SR325is and K271 mkII along.   Anyone in Twente I can travel with?

I truly love it! But I must say, I don't use it that often any more. Sure it's fun, and I used it on some cozy gigs where I played with only a bass player.   But every time when I switch it on again I can play for several hours forgetting the time! :)

I have the RC-20XL. True, you've got to get used to it, but after that the time loops should be in pace most of the time. Or you can use it with the metronome, but also then you must play in pace, otherwise it will sound odd when it loops back.

Quote: "Probably" won't do, we need them for sure!    I'll bring my camera along for nice pictures of all headphones as a compensation for my probably-not-so-impressive-head-fi-gear! 

Very interested if you guys have interesting stuff! I'll bring my Grado SR325is and AKG K271mkII along.

Guys, any specific amp that will make the Grados even better?

Guys, any specific amps that would sound specifically with Grados? I'm very much in love with my SR325is, and I think I will use them for years. I also have the K271mkII, and while I like it and use it (because of the closed design), the Grados blow them away for my taste. So I would appreciate...
