yeah the world has sent a message..ease of aquisition over sonic qualtity Im deaf now so it doesnt mater!

This is a really strange phenomena. I'm far from being an audiophile, but I'm amazed by the craze over MP3's and other compressed formats.

People used to laud CD's because they carry so much more information and give much better clarity, but now there doesn't seem to be that interest in audio bandwidth.

Horses for courses I suppose...

I've got a pair of $150 Etymotic's my step-dad gave me and some $10 ones that fit in the ear canal too. I think I like the sound of the $10 ones better. I like the style of these ones cause the bass response is better but on the downside you can also really hear the cords rub against your clothes.

Also as far as ear buds go I prefer the ones that go into your ear canal better. They usually come with several different size plugs that actually fit various size ears as compared to the ones that came with my ipod that were one size fits all and hurt my ears after awhile.
