Shouldn't An Analytical Sound Be Superior?
Shouldn't it be the best because it correctly reproduces the recording? Even if you are a bass head doesn't anything above a flat response be artificially enhancing it and not how the producer wanted you to hear it? On a side note should this be moved to the sound science thread?- lilboozy

Low profile, excellent sound headphones (similar to etymotic er6)
Hey all - I've been using etymotic ER6 (and hf2) for years and love them. I ride a motorcycle and need something very low profile (i.e. doesn't stick out of my ear too far due to helmet ear pads) and my ER6 have finally bitten the dust. Short of finding an old set still left somewhere, can you...- RDUBiker

ER4P > HF5? Are you sure?
My HF5's are slowly dying so it's time to either replace or upgrade. I have enjoyed my HF5's because I like fast, precise bass and don't want anything with a "slower" sound. I seem to like the idea of spending less on their replacements but the lower-tier model, the MC5s, were adjudged...- suburbanite

MDR-E484 --> E888... Is MDR-E747 Fontopias missing link?
We've all heard how good Sony MDR-E888s are, with their sumptuous mids, sweet treble, and smooth bass... We've also heard that the older MDR-E484s beat the E888s in the sound department, sounding sweeter and more pronounced, but - there was no champion between the two? Enter in my 8 year old...- Duncan

In-ear headphones similar to SoundMagic PL50 but low sensitivity
I currently have SoundMagic PL50 balanced armature in-ear monitors. I like them both for comfort and fit and for sound. I got them because I listen to classical music and read that balanced armature is recommended, and they were a good choice. The main problem is they are too sensitive...- CSMR

Dude. These things rock. They play everything well just like an accurate neutral earphone would. If this is close to the ER4, I wouldn't mind splurging for those in due time.
