does anyone here ever go back to there ibuds once in while? like for a comparison to your head fi gear.

i dont know why but i tend to get bored of good quality sometimes so i go back to my ibuds to hear them just to find out how spoiled i am. i usually do this once a week. i like to see what a difference it makes. also since i always wear over ear headphones putting in ear buds gives me a bit of a break once in a while. anyone agree?

I just listen to earbuds on the way and headphones at home.
great balance

I listened to a pair of $7 in ears i got for free. They didn't sound that bad...better treble than the Tours I had actually. Not so well on the bass and mids.

Does going from my HD650s to my Portapros count, or are we talking genuinely crappy headphones here?

Yes since it's the only pair of earbuds I have. I actually use it quite often when I need something easy to plug into...like porn.

I lost my Yuin earbuds somewhere, but I haven't been missing them much. I've been using Apple earbuds when I sleep. I can't wear anything bigger than ear buds when lying down to sleep and in-ears feel gross that late at night. I don't think there's anything wrong with using Ibuds to sleep. Doesn't sound that bad at low volumes. Super comfortable small form and little sound pressure making fatigue almost non-existent.

I've done it before. The newer iBuds actually aren't completely horrible. They're a marked improvement over the crap that Apple used to include, both in comfort and sound. But yeah, nothing on my real headphones. Mostly I'm pretty happy with my stable so I don't need to reaffirm my purchases very often, but once in a while it's nice to @^$& on what 99% of the world thinks is "good 'nuff."
 
I've also been listening periodically to my old, busted V700 for purposes of writing a comprehensive review, the first (and last) Head-Fi will ever know of the flagship of the V-crap line.

i was mainly referring to genuinely crappy headphones like the phones that came with portable media players.

Sony in ears that come with their walkmans arent that bad

Actually, there's a V900HD too, which is a good bit better.
 
And yeah, I use random earbuds when I have nothing else to use, which is rare, but the EX082 were great for stocks.
