I was extremly surprised with them. For $80/sub, I have to say that they are IMO the "best bang for the buck"

Very good output for what they are and decent to good SQ for what they are.

it doesnt come with ?!?!?!?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

it does come with those white ones, but if u compare those with say $20 aftermarket ones, u'd see those are the worse headphones on earth. people with ipods dont realize that though, cuz most of em arent audiophiles.

The Etymotic ER-6i is supposed to be a fine set of noise-isolating earbuds.

Head-Fi is my next project after I'm done with the Regal.

i've always liked jamba juice, i prefer a fruit smoothie to a fattening ice cream beverage.

Im all for fun and occasional foolishness, but certain jokes CAN be taken too far. People's feelings are hurt for different reasons. I'm not going to get into details here, I just want everyone to drop the "emo" nicknames.. I think they are irrelevant and insulting.

What makes a good nickname in my opinion is one that is flattering and good-natured, not necessarily insulting, and more or less representative of that person's characteristics, swagger, personality, appearance etc.

Dennis is called "Pennis" because ..... (I honestly dont know why). I suppose he is called "Radio" with his "I don't get it" sometimes slow-witted responses. I'm positive that Dennis is an intelligent person, and the "Radio" nickname in my view is no more than an (among friends) "you're an idiot".

Tom is called "Yeti" because his physical appearance resembles that of the Himalayan mythological figure. I dont think its insulting, and besides, he knows that he needs a shave

Howevere, eDmo/eFmo bear no resemblance to either mine or my brothers personality, or characteristics. Neither of us are involved in the "emo" subculture, and frankly I didnt even realize that "emo" had a definition. I honestly dont like when people are defined by their style/appearance/mannerisms.

Bottom line here is that everyone is unique, and noone should be crtiticized for being "different". Tom, if you take offense to "Yeti", just say the word and I wont mention it again. Likewise for anyone else. I dont want to be stomping on egos here.

I realize that most of you probably think that its somewhat over-sensitive to even so much as address this, but I dont think name-calling is mature, and its not bringing anything positive to our little community.

Of course, this specific thread is an off-topic one and crazy things are bound to occur. What I'm simply trying to illustrate here is something to keep in the back of your mind. I am not condemning anyone here, nor am I saying I myself am innocent of showing a lack of respect.

Information interchange can occur through many different mediums. The intersting thing here is, is that our traditional methods of communication are rapidly changing. Words speak louder than actions in our case, and choosing our words more carefully is something I think we should all do. "Real-life" IS the internet for some people, and there is no reason why you should carry yourself differently online than you do in your physical interactions with people.

If I have ever offended anyone here, please accept my apologies. I would like to try and keep as positive a relationship with everyone here as is possible. I thnk we all have a lot to share with and teach eachother...and I dont want to miss out on any of it.
