I went with the Shure E2C. Proviso: ergonomics profile of all Shure in-ear phones is just plain weird. You're required to learn to jam - and I mean *jam* the earpieces deeply into your ears - luckily Shure provide a wide range of sizes and varieties of pieces to suit most ears.
You should be prepared for a period of discomfort whilst you're getting used to this. But also, I've read that some people never do get used to the experience and ultimately regret buying 'em. Therefore you should ask around before you buy. All that aside, these earphones, used correctly, are better than any I've ever used on frequency range, accuracy, transparency and just sheer joy of use. I recommend with provisos. (Apropos on-topic: today I have a selection of Subject 12s on my iPod: 'Ship Life', 'R.I.D.E', 'Physics', 'Unleashed', Longevity 1 & 2. I really appreciate the fact that Dj Bone seems to understand that over-compression isn't imperative.) -----Original Message----- From: Jari Tolkkinen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 05 December 2005 08:10 To: LR T Cc: [email protected] Subject: Re: (313) Headphone Rec's for Ipod?

Here's why: - Lifetime warranty (yay) - Nice foldable design - good OOMPH on the bass frequencies (some people do not like this, give them a test run before buying). Oh and they're very affordable :) ------------------------------------------------------ Jari Tolkkinen | dj ken-guru | http://www.ken-guru.net ------------------------------------------------------
