Hey,
Darn. I thought I was never going to return. I'm extremely happy with my current setup.
ALAC->Fubar->Darkvoice->K501 for home sweet home listening.
Ogg->K81DJ for portable listening.
Though I'm not too vain, the k81dj is pretty darn bulky and embarrassing. I don't mind wearing them in the library but on the road it's a tad annoying with the size.
I've started going to the gym and on those really long boring cardio sessions, I want something to listen to. I'm definitely not wearing my AKGs while I sweat my face out.
I do have a pair of Panasonic HJE50s that I'm pretty happy with. Haven't really listened to them critically though. However, I lost one of the tips and the other tips don't fit me very well.
I'm looking at the Westone UM1. Lots of nice feedback here. I used to own Ety ER6 (not i). I got rid of them because they were very uncomfortable (my ears are quite small... only the smallest of the Panasonic tips fit) and they felt a little too raspy/dry.
I'm interested in the UM1 b/c I take the subway to class every day and isolation would be a plus, and they are said to be the most comfortable IEM.
Thoughts? I wonder if these would make my K81dj obsolete...
