Go for the Ultimate Ears Ue-10 PRO. I have never read of anyone who has regretted getting them.
Date: 06 Mar 2005 11:43:14 From: Hugo Lalumiere Subject: Re: Custom fit In Ear Monitors - Ultimate Ears, Sensaphonics My opinion is that if you're gonna buy 900$ earphones, do yourself a favor and dont buy earbuds.... Get a nice pair of BOSE earpads, they probably wont cost you as much, and you WILL get better stereo reproduction/bass response/overall flatness. Anyways, if you still want to go the earbud way, go with the company that has the longest and best warranty. At 900$, they should be warrantied for life!
