An IEM in that price range carefully chosen can fully compete and beat a full size set of cans.
Portability being it's Ace Card.
Superior Isolation being it's second.
Lower Power to drive... And the list goes on.

+1.

The isolation bit is often overlooked when people want to talk about detail - sure it's great if your whizbang super-duper headphone can extract the detail, but if you can't HEAR that detail over background noise, it might as well have not extracted it. :rolleyes:

Kinda like... Subaru vs Lincoln

So here's where you lost me - you're saying that it's like comparing a rolling wreck to a fully functional and highly reliable automobile? :tongue_smile: :wink_face:
