They're amazing. Try them - then you'll understand the price tag.

same people paying 1million dollars on a watch

I know I wouldn't. Hmmm I will find a girl that works at circuit city on myspace then fuck her and get it at a discount (for free).

Uhmm someone who is successful and doesn't care about a lousy $500? I spend that on an average meal and it's digested and gone in 24 hours. At least earbuds you can enjoy for a long time.

thanks for pointing those out! I would. I have tinnitus and when i do listen to music i need to listen at low volumes as well as block out background noise.. I already started to use big noise cancelling ones just to wander around with. Things like bus brakes in the city reach noise levels that damage your hearing.. when you're listening to music you turn it up over background noise and therefore louder than it should be.. happens all the time because it's kind of relative - for instance, like a frog in slowly boiling water you get used to loud music at a gig because the background music and chatter is loud.. then the warm up music is louder.. then the band is full on.. try taking ear plugs to a gig from the moment you walk in the door and then when the band is blaring full on take them out... not good.

it's still a bit pricey.. but not crazy.. I paid about $2-300 for special earplugs (not headphones) that give a flat frequency response (ie the range is equally -25db not different frequencies being muffled by foam) and they were specially moulded to my ears. This is miniaturised noise cancelling stuff and headphones.. not cheap but not mega expensive.
I'm in Australia - don't need to have insurance..

oop just noticed they aren't specifically noise cancelling it's just in ear design.. still cool though.

**kmanrox** · 08-15-2005, 04:48 AM

Fuck. Best pair of headphones (for a portable)I ever had were the sony in the ear ones. Cost me 25 or 30 bucks and had great sound.
