A fellow named Xin, who makes an amplifier for ear phones has recently stated that he has stopped recommending ety's for noisy environments because the low frequency noise comes through a person's body while on a train or plane and this drowns out the bass sounds. He has changed to recommending an earphone that is not completely sealed as were the ety's or Shure's. This is in spite of the fact that he is marketing his "micro amp".
His web site is www.fixup.net .
I have been using a Bose QC2 on trial and have not been happy with the midrange or highs although the active noise suppression is not bad. I'm currently burning in the Bose, but was thinking of trialing the etys or Shures.
Is Xin right about the failure of these earphones to deliver the bass range in a noisy (plane) environment? I listen to classical violin and piano and occasional jazz trio type music.
Please advise. Thanks.
