Ok so my stepdad has a new job where he is traveling about every other week. He recently said he is going to look into noise canceling headphones, but I am going to turn him away from those and onto IEM's. I am looking to get him a IEM/Canalphone for $150 or less. Problem is he listens almost exclusively to country, and I have no idea which are best. Isolation is most important here, these will constantly be used on planes. Also, I need to be able to get these at a brick and mortar store such as Best Buy or Circuit City or something. Any help? Shure se210?

since country isn't so bass-y, go with these, they're really good headphones, and people don't like them for there lack of bass, but country lacks that too, so these should suit him fine. http://www.circuitcity.com/ssm/Shure...oductDetail.do

I heard that Westone is about to unveil a big ole' U-CW Country & Western model here shortly. It's gonna have doves and rind stones on it and come with a genuine hand made leather saddle bag with you initials tooled in it. Save your pennies for that one.

Just kidding

I like the idea though.

Get him beer cans.

My E4C's played it really well, really strong on the high and mid ranges. You should be able to find them now for less than that, though I don't know at any B&M stores.

They used to carry them at Apple Stores. Circuit City has the Shure E2/3c line back in the day as well. Fry's Electronics has them all.

I use my shure e500s i know they are out of your price range but they make my favourite country songs come alive esp "these darn iems are stuck in my ear" and my particular favourite "the isolation is too darn good (my wife up and left me and i didn't even know it)"

really? besides MOST rap, country is the worst genre, there are only a few "country" songs that i've even come close to tolerating just on the radio, and the style wasn't even country.

Listen to some Johnny Cash, anyways he drives a Mustang Cobra guys, and he was born in North Carolina so country music somewhat comes with the birthplace, and especially the family of his.

Maybe not, but they do have to change the oil on their house every 3,000 miles.

and further...who doesn't like a good joke about "the old milk cow"?

ok, johnny cash was an artist before the genre of country started...so technically he was like an alternative rock/jam band artist
