Neil Peart was using them when I saw Rush live. If they are good enough for Neil Peart, they are good enough for me! 

I am looking for some IEM's that are not dependent of the fit to sound good. I bought some Meleec M6's for sleeping but found they way to fit dependent and I was constantly fiddling with them to make the sound good. I'm looking to spend around $40 and I like deep, impactful bass with neutral mids. 

Now I'm really glad that I decided to order M6's from amazon instead of getting some brainwavs. I didn't know there shipping was so terrible.

Which would be more comfortable for sleeping? And they sound pretty much the same, right? At the low volumes I will be using them for I doubt it would matter much anyways.

weird...maybe I just have big ears or something? I've had them for a couple of months so I'd think the headband would be stretched out by now.

My ears get a little tender after an hour or two of wearing my M50's. Does anyone else have this problem? I'm wondering if it's because I'm wearing them wrong or if the pads are just getting old.

Just bought some cheap Altec Lansings. They get the job done IMO. Much much better than the stock iMac speakers.

How are the HK Soundsticks II? They are about $100, and that's about as far as I'm willing to go.

2:1 is an option I guess. I figured that I'd get better satellites for the same price as getting satellites + a sub. There really aren't any speakers under $50 that can produce enough bass to at least hear?

I'm looking for some speakers to replace the terrible built-in speakers in my iMac. I'm not looking for audio heaven or anything here, just something that will provide at least SOME bass. I'm looking to spend under $50. Is there even a difference in quality between models at this price, or am I...

I would not consider my M50 a bass monster. There are much bassier headphones to be had. However, I find the bass to be the perfect level for me.

- of course all of electronic queen Bjork's albums - Boards of Canada - Underworld

The M50's aren't big at all. They are actually pretty stylish and definitely not "weird" looking. As long as you won't be walking around with them, there would be no problem wearing them in public.

Really looking forward to the My Morning Jacket show next month. Also Mastodon next month.

Kayo Dot - Choirs of the Eye Kayo Dot - Dowsing Anemone with Copper Tongue Strange music that touches many emotional vantage points.

I'm not too fond of any other other death cab albums, but this album is really, really good.

I love Max Richter's The Blue Notebooks. I haven't heard that song though, I'll check it out. edit: Just listened to the song, it has a similar vibe as some of his other music I've heard. Very emotional quality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rluU6BGpKw

You guys should check out their Alive DVD they just released. Great DVD.

- Sennheiser Eh150: Earpad adjustments wore out and wouldn't hold on the earpads any longer. - Koss KSC75: Cord ripped.

I can attest that my M50's are great for prog.

Ever try a Koss KSC75? They are my go-to headphones for when I want a very involving sound. I actually prefer them to lower-end Grado's.

I wouldn't go spending too much money for a headphone that you will be listening to at low volume, you can only hear so much details when the music is quiet. Really any headphone with a good soundstage will do, the headphones character doesn't become that evident until the music is louder.

So how does it sound?
