I would say 3+ is reasonable, 4.5+ is borderline dangerous.
can you explain that? is it good or bad?

The Brainwavz B2 has some of the best isolation in any earphone I've used. You can't get too much better isolation than those with the right tips. Lack of isolation is definitely not a problem with them.
It has its uses but when I'm wearing something that isolating outside I always feel that I won't hear a car until it hits me. I stopped wearing my ER4S outside after failing to hear an approaching fire engine.
that's great news!
which tips to you use? the stock ones?
wow! now i get what you mean by dangerous, just be careful! but seems to eliminate completely buses and motorbikes engines. is it just because of the ety's triplets? or does the deep insertion helps (a lot) ? thanks for the info
Now that's hardcore man. I got the best isolation with the Xcape v2/IE (with single flanges) but it's nowhere near that level. I was thinking about getting an HF5 for my girlfriend, because her ears are really small, and it has smaller nozzle than the Xcape. So I thought it would be more comfortable for her with the Olives. But I'm not sure if the isolation is really that much better.
I don't own the B2 but I was part of the loaner program. I used Monster triple flanges with a core of the Shure earphone as a spacer.
If anyone has checked out my spreadsheet of joker's stats, I'd like to know what your impression or feedback is.... It has become quite exciting considering it's a fun-spare-time-thing...
It really is fun to "play with." The same 10 or so are pretty much stuck at the top unless you drastically change the sound quality weight haha.
You did good and I applaud the time you took to type that all out since his table is an image. Glad you froze the top rows haha.
As far as feedback goes:
- I think I noticed when I looked at it a while back that a score or two didn't coincide with joker's table which unless people notice won't be changed and might affect the results, e.g. the VSONIC GR07 value score is 8.0 when it should be 9.5 (I know, transposing numbers is a bitch). Value scores aren't taken into account by default but if someone chooses to, it could result in problem for them if its an IEM they are considering.
- You could maybe format it a bit towards drawing the users eye to the relevant cells, especially for people not used to spreadsheets.
- You can write some VBA code to automatically re-sort the results after any cell changes (i.e. weights). Then again though, people are suspicious when excel warns them against possibly enabling harmful macro's when opening up a file they just downloaded over the internet. Maybe the same can be done through a pivot table but I'm pretty out of touch with them.
