I seemed to have left my headphones at The Eagle the other night. This forced me to use the bundled headphones that came with the iPod. Good gods they suck. They don't stay in my ear, and the block out 0% of the ambient noise, forcing me to crank up the volume. ick.

So I decided to fix that with These...

Shure E4C headphones.



Sonically they *are* better than the E3C headphones I misplaced, so I am a happy camper.

Re: Yay for better quality!

Well, with the Apple Lossless codec, the bitrate doesn't matter, as you are losing *none* of the dynamic range from your CD.

Luckily, *good* classical recordings have a very high dynamic range. Bad recordings however, have fallen prey to the DRC of pop music, making everything "equally loud", killing the music.

I highly suggest getting a pair of these, or the almost as good, (but lacks a strong and tight bass) E3c.
