Hah! I liked that too. In fact, AT sets always look sleek and cool. My favourite is the ATH-EM7. Truthfully speaking, we all have different tastes and that being said, different headphones, earphones that suit our needs.

Yes, it feels good having those shiny things in my ears now. It's been a long while since I walked around while plugged into a CD player/ MP3 player and I am now reminded that this is what I used to do regularly until I started photographing heavily.
Music and photography would mix very well, but I only worry that the earphones will make me oblivious to everything else around me, and that's dangerous.
Sound is a difficult thing to understand, and as you say everyone will have different tastes. I definitely liked the Etymotic and the UE Super.fi 3 as well, but I can only have one pair of phones unfortunately.
Heheh...had a listen to those. Yes, they're nice, but my ears are not capable of handling such an expensive system. :sweatsm:
Personally I have a couple to suit different music. One for jazz, another for rock, third for sound isolation. Adds up to many couples of hundred. Makes me think that I should just get one very VERY good one can liao.
That's true...it's one way to think of it. But then again, most earphones are good at one thing or another, and using different ones for different purposes means that you can exploit their strengths.
I presume a very good one will cover almost all bases, and a cheapy one for backup/ rough use will be all you'll need.
Yah...clarity was amazing. I could even hear when the singer was opening his mouth, or when swallowing his saliva! :bsmilie: Even with that the output throughout the rest of the range was very nice and warm, unlike my CK7 which occasionally can sound a bit cold. Fortunately it's a lot more portable and also many times cheaper.
Enya's Sail Away? hehe... the title is actually Orinoco Flow. It's a classic.
Almost true. But there are different sound signatures for each and suited to specific music. That's about it. Of course, high end headphones so good that even if they are suited to one, they still sound damn good to another.

Yup...I suppose it depends on how discerning the listener is. For a person like myself I really cannot justify spending over $200 on a pair of 'phones. Although I can hear the difference I probably will not use it often enough to justify the cost. When I start working in the future I'm not even sure how often I'll get the chance to plug in.
When I reach home I might simply want to sleep. :sweatsm:
Heheh...that's pretty expensive stuff. But if you like it a lot and wouldn't want to 'upgrade' after that for quite a few years then I'd say it's worth it. Previous pair of earbuds cost me $54 and lasted me almost 5 years. It'll still be going strong if my laptop didn't burn out one side of it.
hmmm, im interested in a pair of in-ear earphones, preferably below $50. is there any suggestions? i previously had a pair of philips in-ear earphones i bought for 40+. they were alright but now 1 side is spoilt liao (1 year only).....
