shkong78,
Is sound isolation on those good enough for most of the planes?
Best earphone for the value

I owned a pair of Etymotics a few years back. Good amount of mid and high end detail, but really lacking in the bottom end. It's a single Balanced Aperture driver, so.... Also, it required a deep insertion to get good isolation. Replaced it with a pair of CA Lyra II's which I really like, but they require a lot of drive. Also have a pair of CA Vega's which are really nice also. Finally, Picked up a pair of CA Solaris a few weeks ago. These are the best of the bunch; loads of detail, smooth mids and really tight and fast low end. I guess you can tell I'm a CA fan. If you're searching for something inexpensive, look at the Periodic Audio Mg's. They retail for $100 and they occasionally they put them on sale for $70. I use them at the gym a lot. If your willing to spend a little more, also check out the Periodic Be's. They retail for $300, but I see them on sale for $240 occasionally, I also own a pair of JA Audio Layla's, but the CA Solaris is better. I guess you can tell that I'm a CA fan. I haven't tried any of their entry level stuff, but the build quality of the units I own are first rate. |
