I really like the Etymotics. I was a little put off by the comfort and even the sound at first, but I've grown to really like them. They can sound kind of weak if you don't give them enough power. The bass of the Etymotics I think is pretty great driven with a portable Headroom amp. If you are thinking of dropping 500.00, you might want to look into the Sensphonic and Ultimate Ears custom made phones. They are supposed to be really comfortable and the sound is said to be better than almost anything out there.
Etymotics Vs Shure High End Headphones
Has anyone compared these headphones? A local dealer has the $499.00 Shure headphones but not for demo and returnable for store credit only.
I bought the etymotics years ago as the killer high end in ear headphones but never really loved them.
A bit claustrophobically uncomfortable - even with custom earpieces -- and a bit thin in the bass.
I continue to dream of truly portable high end sound for business travel and wonder if the Shure products are worth a look.
Thank you.
