Earbuds Round-Up

Well, I got it right? Don't really know grammar.
Me, myself and I.

It might not be proper "by the books" to say "me and my wife" but 90% of English speakers would. Finishing sentences with "...and I" is for grammar nerds!

if memory serves me right, "my wife and I" is grammatically immaculate in accordance with prescriptivism school, while "me and my wife" would be held as correct by descriptivism school.

So we got earbuds, we got English grammar, what more can you want from a thread?

Not in this case. The use of subjective and objective pronouns is quite clear as described in my earlier post (ref. The OED and Fowler's Modern English Usage).
 
Not that it matters a great deal...

And it could be even bigger bargain if they could sort out that expensive shipping cost. I wonder if they cannot ship it via registered air-mail or don't want to. Is it because standard air-mail Indonesian postal service is unreliable or they have some law regulations that force them to use EMS for international shipments? I don't know.

And I really wish Cypherus could level to Edimun / De'mun prices. That would make them more popular. Earbuds at $150-$200 - they are for real connoisseurs. Or maybe that's the way they shoud be?


For those who don't mind waiting there is another option thru Registered air mail. They said is between 14 to 30 days. Cost is around USD 15 to 20.

In fact I am mainly on this thread to polish my Polish... I mean English. I only pretend that I am interested in earbuds and in this way I learn new vocabulary every day, like for example from this sentence:
 
"Seahf 32 is a gosh darned razor blade treble murder machine with no mids and hardly any bass except a mid bass hump."
 
I've learned how to order a shaving in proper English:
 
"Please barber, use your darned razor blade machine and shave my beard with a mid hump but try to not murder me. Thank you."

So, what's everyone's current favorite earbud? I know I feel utterly enamoured with the Masya, and haven't been able to enjoy anything else as much since getting it. It's as close to my preferred sonic sig as an earbud has gotten so far. Could just be new toy excitement however.
