I purchased a pair of Sennheiser IE7s from JR.com because they had them on sale for $120 and they received good reviews. I must say, I am a little dissapointed, but am sure I am not doing something correctly since Sennheiser makes quality products. The IEMs are not really blocking out sound. There is certainly a noticable difference over Apple's crappy earbuds, but there is noticable sound coming through. My brother says this is not the case with his Beats by Dr. Dre, so I assume IEMs are supposed to block at least most sound. Talking and noise from the train I took this weekend came through. Am I using the incorrect earpads? Am I doing something incorrectly or missing something? Or am I just expecting too much? Thank you in advance for any help.
