Now I found out what were my old earplugs when I had my minidisc player Sony MZ-1. These were called Sony MDR-E747,they did lag a little bit bass, but they had stunning soundstage and excellent treble. From that poinnt my new Fontopia E888 sound like kiddy crap. Where can I get earplugs that equal the Sq of these E747? I hope there is something outside that is as good. I thought technic ets more and more better but it seems to be the other way round. PS : cannot find the E747 anymore but they sound soooo goood.
