    Looking for best non-IEM buds

    Yup, I kinda gave up on IEM because they isolate too much and I am afraid people are gonna sneak up on me and scare the crap out of me. Is Senn's MX400/500/550 all there is? Any other brands? Preferrably sound not too much worse than er6?

    Who drives with headphones?

    Inspired by the ER-4S that's on sale in the forum... Seller mentioned that he drove with IEM on. Isn't that very dangerous with the good isolation? I remembering reading in like the first page of the manual that came with the e2 that you shouldn't bike or drive with IEMs. I think this is...

    Price/performance spculation (canal vs headphone)

    It's been said that $1 headphone = $8-10 in speakers for the same quality. What about headphones and in ear monitors? Something like $1 headphone = $5 IEM? I have the e2 and they don't sound as good as Grado SR60 for the higher price. How high do I need to go to get the same kind of...

    What's she wearing?

    There is a small thumbnail on the right with Natalie Portman with some cans... Perhaps too small to tell. In the trailer, about 4/5 the way in, there is a pretty big shot of her hanging that around her neck again. Just wondering what cans are those, because it looks good. Maybe because...

    Looking for cans that' great for all app w/emphasis on classical

    And it has to be powered by nothing higher than Cmoy or PIMETA. Basically, the cans plus the amp can't be more than $400.... preferrably much less I am looking at the AKG K 501 but seems like it needs quite an amp. Is it really bad for general apps like watching movies? If the 501 is...

    Does non-driver material affect sound?

    For example, HD600 use plastic, HD650 use carbon fibre. And we've all seent he Sony that has gone woody So if I get some cans and want to do some machine-shopping and transform it into some phat anodized aluminum bracket and stuff, would that kill the sound? It seems like the woody...

    No headphone exclusive magazines?

    How come I don't see any? It seems like there is a market for it. AM I missing out on something I ain't seeing? Closest thing I see is stereophile and most stuff are too expensive for me (nhence the small interest)
