each have their own uses, and don't compare them head to head, because after a long earbud session iems will sound tinny, and after a long iem session earbuds will sound muddy. the ears will need time to compensate.
My main issue with iem's is that I cant hear my family yelling at me for being anti-social. Maybe that's a positive though?
I meant it as a positive mostly lol. It's a pretty interesting scene, though I wish there were more small makers using shells beside the mx500.

or for people who are paranoid and afraid that an axe-wielding murderer might storm the house and you can't hear him coming

Most importantly, IEMs can cause you to not hear the knocks and door bell ringings, resulting in unsuccessful delivery of your highly anticipated audio purchases! :frowning2:

Are these just normal foams? They look spongier than I'm used to but I don't own any yellow or green foams so it might just be the color fooling me.

These are Chots foams from Thailand. A friend sent these to me last year. They're nice. I also really like the Abnormal thick foams that rohlupat.com sent me complimentary with a few of my orders.

I haven't tried heigi foams ever.

Poster was from Thailand I think, so makes sense lol. No way to order these easily from outside Thailand I assume?
