When the only thing you can think of while taking an exam is "I wish I could use my headphones now..."

My professor nearly kicked me out of the room when he saw me wearing mine during the exams..

 I thought I was allowed to use my custom molded ear plugs during an Apple Certification Exam. Turns out the removable filters were not allowed, but the other part was.....the ear plugs are pass through, so I didnt use them during my test, since it would've been pointless. 

 What's an Apple Certification exam?..

I work at a computer repair center at the college I go to. Basically, it's a two part exam you go to a testing facility to take, that tests your knowledge of Hardware and Software for Apple products. I now can set up a business and do official warranty work for Apple products if I wanted.

Piezoelectric huh? I know of them, just not any specific headphones and it's one of the few driver types I havent heard. How's it perform driven out of the iPhone?

Namely, the Pioneer SE-500s are what I listened to. Piezoelectric has no magnets, and is planar.
 
And, as far as driving... they're 20,000 ohms and 100 dB/mW sensitivity. Pioneer recommended driving them directly from your speaker taps and even designed their own converter box for doing so.
 
Surprisingly, they were listenable.

Interestingly, the SE-500s don't gain much when amped except for volume. They sound mostly the same out of my iPhone compared to my receiver.

You know your an audiophile when you left your IEM's out of their case for the night and you say "Are you alright baby? you ok? Its all good now. Your in your case now."
