For $499.95, not many iPod devotees will likely be picking up a pair, but those with extremely demanding tastes and hi-fi sources to match may want to look into the IE-40s for those moments they spend away from their $10,000 home audio systems."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/cgg-maudio-10152007.jpg" /><br /><br />I doubt I'll ever spend that kind of money on a pair of these (although I said the same thing about the Shure's I now use). However, these do have a really cool feature I'd like to see other high end plugs adopt. The cable plugs into each individual earplug, so the cable can be replaced by the user in the event it is damaged.
