1. Singing along is a NO NO
2. Eating and listening is a disgusting NO NO
3. Walking with heavy feet is a NO NO

I never knew these things.

So...do tell, where did you embarrass yourself singing along?

 

[akki007]

It was the first thing I did when I got my IE7s...started singing and it sounded like I was underwater! Luckily I wasn't in public.

He sings Sabrina Boys in a gay bar?

Only at weekends

yeah that's a bit of a downside... but I don't do either of those things(1 and 2) when I use headphones, only with speakers. You could go along the lines of the PK/OK series to fix 1 and 3...but the whole singing in public part... can't help you there, sorry mate.

How about trying to say something to someone while wearing IEMS? (ie.not having an actual conversation. eg saying thanks to the bus driver). I always have to take at least one side out because if I had both IEMs in, I would have NO idea how loud I would be talking

Just to clarify, I am NOT some sort of public singing crank.

On a serious note, been down the PK3>PK1 route, I get all the opposite problems to IEMs! No isolation, inferior SQ. (You can sing to your hearts content though, and eat. Although not at the same time)

You are SO right on this one

Especially something juicy like meat!

I never sing outloud (only when I'm at concerts and no one can really hear me ) but I do mouth along with the words often, and I probably look like a loser doing so, but you know what, I don't care

I don't find eating THAT bad, just that it unseats my IEMs, thus breaking the seal after a while, so I tend not to do it. Obviously, in this category goes CHEWING GUM.

Finally, I don't know why you can't walk with heavy feet? No matter if I walk or run, my IEMs stay perfectly seated in my ears

Maybe it's the comply tips that are just hugging my ear canals

They don't come unseated when walking, I can hear my footsteps! Boom Boom Boom Boom!

I think it's more the sound of your feet on the pavement doing your head in

EDIT: Damn, beaten by 10 minutes... That's what you get for posting while working I guess!

I'm working aswell...obviously not as hard as you!

 

[thechungster]

Eating crisps is so hard with IEMs on. I just hear *Crunch crunch* everytime.

Don't feel too bad... I just got caught by one of my graduating seniors as I was playing air-guitar to some vintage REO Speedwagon. Thank GAWD, I wasn't singing, too.
