Nope. Sorry. It's not rocket science.

The V-Moda Vibes sound real swell...Unfortunately though, they do not isolate, so I won't be throwing my ES2's in the trash anytime soon.

This is not a nerdsite. Only people who like audio and have nothing els to do...

I like that switching tips MAKES a difference. I slap some Ety foamies(tube removed) on my triple.fi's and they speed up, get cleaner, and need bass boost. I can make em' have boomier bass and more forward mids by slapping Shure black olives on.

I can give them a nudge in any direction I choose and give them either an Ety flavor or Shure flavor or UE stock flavor depending on my mood/circumstance.

Some versatility is nice.

god i really do hope you're a troll. truly.

they're ported, not "open-back". my philips IEMs are open-air. they have a major air flow, don't cancel sound at all, and you can REALLY hear the music coming out of the back, not just bleeding. the vibes are ported, and yes you can get a perfect seal, you'll just still hear things.

edit: note to forumers: those are sub-par IEMs, even for home listening. their tips fall of constantly and you can't get replacements.

Once again, there is nothing mystical about whether a headphone is open-backed or closed back. Just walk into an Apple store and check these out; you'll see what I mean about open-back instantly.

As for "trolling," I come on every once in a while to read the forums.

See you all. It's been an enlightening coversation.

Please enlighten me on what an open-back is I obviously don't quite understand.

I always though an open back was like the SR-60 while a closed back is like an a900.

Apparently not.

zeluiz22, we understand, you personally dont like "headphones". Can this thread be closed....?

 

[ColdFireArow]

Oh and rocket science is really not that hard, basicly H2 + O2 = thrust.

I like the Vibes but this is an obnoxious thread. Amongst other things, the op plagiarised his own post in another thread (which he had posted exactly one minute earlier) to start this one. Why? (It's not as big problem. I just don't get it.)

Don't blame the headphones. They're actually quite enjoyable.
