Hi musicday,
Whats happening in 3 weeks? Is that when they will be officially released or something? The Layla's and other IEM's were compared to full sized cans when they first arrived and although some folks though they (Layla's) really do compete with cans like the Fostex TH-900's at the end IMHO they are two different things when it comes to sound and music reproduction.
Sincerely,
-Speed
Agreed! Iems/ciems, full size headphones, and home systems will always remain different animals, particularly when the subject of soundstage arises.
