Thanks for your input, everyone! =)

Hiya, I thought about getting a pair of Etys, cause my wallet's actually big enough to get one , but the thing I'm worried about is that I'll only be listening to them mostly for 20-25 minute stretches at a time. Will Etys be practical to put in and take out repeatedly for those time periods...

Thanks a lot! Two more questions though... the very, very bottom on the clip, is that part supposed to go over your earlobe so that none of the clip has clipped onto your ENTIRE ear and none of it touches the earpad anymore? Because I can do that, and that way, the clip is much more secure, but...

Okay, okay, sorry in advance for the really lame question! But...how do you actually put the KSC-35s on? I just received my pair in the mail yesterday and I can't figure out how to wear them! Which side is left/right? How much of the ear do you actually clip? Does the headphone end up...

Checked out everything you guys said and ordered some stuff. Thanks.

Hiya, I'm a really musically limited person, and I wanted to expand my musical horizons into classical music. So, I go about it by purchasing 1-2 classical CDs a week. But, I didn't know with what classical CDs to start. Could someone reccomend maybe 5-10 essential classical CDs to own? Thanks a...

Oh, actually, I'd be mostly walking from classes so it wouldn't really be dangerous with too much isolation. The thing that really surprises me is the microphonic cord issue? Is that really *that* big of a deal? I'll be listening to it sitting down 85% of the time and walking 15% of the time, by...

Oh, oh...two more quick things: 1) anyone know the cheapest place to buy these things? 2) etymotics headphones are better than shure's, right? I just assumed that, but now I'm starting to wonder again (especially on such a big purchase!)... Thanks again!

Heya everyone again. =) From all the positive things everyone says about etymotics, I think I'm gonna splurge for one of them despite they're REAAALLY high price. Now, the only question is which to go for? The ER6 or the ER4P? I'm definitely not an audiophile... but of course, better sound would...

Wow! Thanks for all the reccomendations! I checked out every single headphone reccomended. =) The V6 and Eggos look very comfortable...but they really BIG! I tend to like to walk around with my headphones on and V6 and Eggos are a bit too conspicuous for that even if they sound really good. The...

Er...the foamies? The ones that came with them? Yeah, I did...but they were relaly, really thin and the earbuds still hurt through the foamies. But are you talking about foamies besides the ones that came with the buds?

I'm really open to all types of headphones (as long as they're fashionable!) and I'd like to spend under $100, but that's bendable if the right headphones came along. For earphones, I actually did try the MX500 once...I'm not sure if it was just me, but they were REALLY uncomfortable. Ohhh, and...

Hi, I recently got an iPod and...*gasp gasp* I've been using the earbuds that came with it! Anywaaaaay, I'm not really experienced in high-quality headphones but it sounds like good headphones really worth it. Might anyone have any reccomendations? Oh, not sure if this changes anything, but I...

So, after you go through the process of encoding your CDs into MP3s, which program is best for the actual playback of the MP3s on your computer? One program I've heard a lot about is Winamp; is this the best program to use, or no? Also, I've heard a little about a "MAD plugin" for...

Right, I read that thread, and I think I get the general jist of the whole concept, but I'm still a bit confused. What exactly are you supposed to do? From what's written, it seems like you stick the CD into the computer, use EAC, then use LAME on the files that EAC created? But, a few...

I'm a bit new to this "high-quality" MP3 stuff. Previously, I was just using any old program to convert my CDs into MP3s. I was wondering if anyone could explain the "proper" way to encode a CD into MP3 files? Is it a one-step process (CD-into-MP3s) or is a two-step process...

Wow, really? Where? Could you maybe send me a link please? Thanks.

Hi, I was looking for a very portable (something that could fit in a pocket), and the Koss KSC-35/50 caught my eye. I know the common consensus is that the KSC-35 have better sound...but the KSC-50 are only $16 ($15 + $1 tax at Circuit City), while the KSC-35 are $37 ($30 + $7 shipping at...

Uh...you know, I don't even understand half those terms you just used...

Well, yeah, I did try the ER-6's, but they really weren't breath-taking and for $130, I expected something that was. Also, they go really deep into your ears, and that wasn't too comfortable (or fashionable). And yeah, I do own the MX500's, but they seem to put a lot of pressure on my ears and...

Hm, yeah, I noticed both the Sony 888s and the Sennheiser MX500s. Do the Sony 888s have much better sound and are they much more comfortable? In response to the KSC-35...I was heavily considering them, but then fashion came into play so I had to rule them out. :/

I recently bought an MP3 player and I've been searching hard for good earbuds to go with it. Could anyone reccomend some good earbuds? Preferably non-etymotic earbuds, they go too deep into the ears for my tastes.

How effective is the seal supposed to be? I ordered my ER-6's and got them today. I don't know if I'm putting them into my ears right though. When the music is off, I can still hear things when they're in my ear. Does this mean I don't have a good seal?

Thanks a lot! Wetting the flanges was possibly my biggest concern with them.
