Even so, there's still a wide range of diversity in that category. There are many different ways of "injecting" sound into a pair of ears; each has its advantages and disadvantages, and is better suited to a particular type of user's tastes and listening habits. Remove the earphones slightly from your ears and you'll notice that the sound is totally altered. The bass frequencies disappear - and even the midrange - and all you hear is the high notes. This phenomenon is well known, and very unpleasant when the person next to you is listening to music with earphones."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.digitalmediathoughts.com/images/earphones8.jpg" /><br /><br />Wow, this is one hell of a review on headphones. The author starts with a guide on what aspects of audio are best for headphones and then goes on to describe the best qualities for headphones. He then not only gives a mini-review on each headphone but also compares it against the previously set criteria. Honestly, I feel quite educated now. I definitely recommend this article.

Man, when they said "sweeten your listening pleasure" I assumed they were going to talk about some seriously l33t audio gear!
I was so wrong...

O. M. G.

I walked into a source-cc yesterday and there, screaming at me, were not only the Sennheiser MX500s but also the Sennheiser PXC250s. I sprung for both of them.

My name is Chris, and I have an addiction.

Did you see any Sennheiser C300s by chance? I wouldn't mind testing out a pair of those. Or the Shure E2c or E4c earphones.

I wasn't looking too carefully, but they had several different models.

A quick glance at their site (http://www.thesourcecc.com/estore/SearchResults.aspx?language=en-CA&amp;keywords=sennheiser&amp;pagenum=0) doesn't mention the C300s.
