You know, I have that same printer. What Grados are those? If they're 60s I have them as well. (guessing they aren't)

I use my Custom-1s for this and they do fine. Isolation is good if you don't want to hear the machines and I don't have to turn it up anymore than normal. The cord has a cinch on it so you can pull it tight. This cuts out microphonics and means you don't have to worry about it swaying around...

The Klipschs are balanced armatures as well, but I'm sure you knew that. Compared to the iM716s I would say the Custom-1s have less brightness in their treble, warmer mids and much more full bass. While I don't believe in burn-in for IEMs, the Custom-1s did take a while for me to adjust to, so...

I just read tabs and playback sometimes. I have a book on theory based around guitar which extremely good and would be more helpful to a lot of people, but when I do something that's my own I just kind of make it up as I go, I'm not too concerned with what I'm doing so long as it sounds good.

I said pass, not because I don't want to be a party pooper so to speak, but because there is usually no point in arguing with the people who are raving about it and it's just going to be futile anyway since a new one is going to pop up the second the old one dies. Some of them may genuinely...

I still have a Yamaha receiver, it pairs pretty nicely with my Advents. Really neutral setup, only slightly warm. Great for just about anything.

When I say interest check, I actually mean it. Usually it's something I'm hesitant to sell so I want to see if there are a lot of people who would want it, and if so then I'll put it up for sale. I believe I've only done one interest check and I ended up not selling. I eventually did sell...

No correlation. It almost seems to be opposite sometimes, a lot of people here seem to like to listen to their gear more than the music. Of course that isn't everyone, but there is a lot more to appreciate about music than the reproduction.

Skullcandy's are pretty poorly reviewed around here. Most people would say to avoid them.

Vibes don't stick out at all for something that goes straight in like that. Westones and Klipschs are probably the only universals that stick out less. Between the two, most people will probably recommend the UEs, since the mid-run generation Vibes were apparently pretty bad. I liked my early...

Forgot about the RS-1s. Those would be pretty good in this situation.

You might want to look at some Darth Beyers from Headphile. There's a link in the sponsors tab. They'll be much more unique than the others but from the way they've been described I'm not sure how they'll do for what you listen to. I'm sure some Darth owners will be glad to chime in. The wait...

Not to complicate things but the Klipsch Cutom-1 seems like it might be a good compromise. The bi-flange tips go fairly deep, but not as deep as the iM716s and are much more comfortable, but they still isolate well, and sound pretty good, maybe a little better than the UM1s from what I've heard...

Where is this place exactly? They might have a lot of business soon if they can handle it.

He just said it was $85 USD. That isn't much actually. After the initial headphones that is. I'm sure it would be more for someone who isn't in that area what with shipping and everything.

I love Telecasters, to me they're incredibly comfortable and sound much better than Strats. Again, that's opinion though. I personally have a Yamaha RGX520, but wouldn't recommend that for a first because it is on the heavy side and the neck is rather thick. But yeah, Squire guitars aren't the...

Well, I want to try the HD580s, so I guess I want the HD580.

What's your budget? You sound like you might be a good contender for something in Ultimate Ears' lineup.

The Ety-8 filter is the one that fits them. (the weird looking bluetooth thing)

You're probably the first person I've recommended the Klipsch Custom-1s to. I own them myself and see them fitting the sound signature you're looking for quite well. Be warned they might take a day to warm up to, but I like them quite well now. I have to turn one of the tips sideways (they're...

From the offerings I've heard from both Etymotic and Klipsch with the Klischs you can expect warmer mids and toned down highs compared to the Etys. So if you like a brighter sound the Etys would be good, but for a more mid-centric the Klipschs would be better. The Sleeks are enjoying FOTM status...

You won't get much better isolation than the ER-4s. They sound really good to boot. Unless you want to spring for customs they are probably your best bet.

Whoa there, I'll admit there have been some jumping to conclusions and misconstruing your statements to mean something they aren't, even making great jumps to something completely unrelated, but that last statement of yours was quite out of line. Yes you've taken a good deal of undeserved flack...
