The Ety's has officially survived the ultimate test, I took them to the gym for a leg day, I found with a little cable management (wrapping it back on itself, clipping it and sticking it in my pocket) the microphonics were incredibly lessened, they never broke seal once and did wonders for gym...

got my er-4p's just plugged them in and gave them a little test drive on the way to 7-11. I was hoping when people said that the microphonics were bad it was some kind of overexageration, but man, these things are horrible when you're walking, now that said I can also agree with another...

Seems it's been awhile since I've been on, unfortunately my house burned down about a month ago and my a900s, HD25-1's and Shure e2c's kindly went up in flames, along with my sources and what not... how's that for an eye opener ;-) So I've reordered my a900's and am stuck between deciding...

Honestly, glutamine is not going to be a kind of in your face results supplement, you will notice that you very rarely if ever will get a common cold while on it, and that your recovery time is slightly faster and muscle pain less.
