IEM cheesecake. My wife saw me scrolling through this page and almost collapsed laughing. Of course, she hates headphones.

Edit: Would these be considered IEMs or, because of their drivers, just canal phones? Of course, if they're designed to be stage monitors, I suppose that answers my question. ______________________________ Phones (in order of purchase): Sony MDR71, Sony MDR51, Etymotic ER6, Panasonic RP-HJ50, Shure E3C, Koss PortaPro 2, Creative EP630, Etymotic ER6i, Sennheiser PX-100, Sennheiser HD555 Sources (in order of purchase): 2nd Generation 10GB iPod for Windows (retired) Creative Muvo 256MB Creative Muvo 1GB (out on loan) Rio Carbon 5GB Cowon iAudio 5 1GB (out on loan) Rio Karma 20GB (low-mileage collector’s item) Creative Zen Nano 1GB Samsung YP-U2 512MB (out on short-term loan) 4th Generation 40GB iPod (monochrome; used as home jukebox) 2nd Generation iPod Nano 4GB Creative Zen Stone 1GB iRiver T60 2GB |

I've seen things about pink noise and such, should i let the phones just sit all night with a track of that on repeat or is it better to listen to more my style of music so it becomes accustomed to that? Secondly Cn do you by any chance have a link for the shure foamies ur referring to, I noticed if I get the phones just right they stay in really well but without a good seal they don't sound quite as good. Thanks |

Guess those poor slobs can't understand. The atrios are really aren't that big as you can see. I routinely doze off at night with them on, and it's like I forget I have them in. I have always worn them down, as I'm too impatient to mess with routing them up over the ear, and bending the memory wire and all. With the Shure black foam tips reversed, they seal up so fast it only takes a couple seconds for them to expand out to form the seal. And they stay put securely. |
