I know a lot of you have ipods/personal mp3 players, so I thought I'd share my latest find. I've been looking for the past year for high quality headphones that I could use while commuting through the metro system.
My criteria were:

1) Had to sound phenomenal...natural clean sound with good low frequency (bass) production

2) Had to be small. Can't bring myself to wearing my huge dj monitors while walking around DC.

3) Have noise cancellation attributes. The train, metro, and airplane (when I travel) can be loud.

4) Reasonable cost

I've had my eyes set on Shure E3c's, but at $179 I was going to wait for the price to drop. Then I listened to them and thought they were a bit bass shy....though still very good.

I came across reviews for Future Sonics Ears (model EM3). "They're designed for live sound applications and just happen to make hi-quality MP3s sound far better than any standard earphone".




Originally priced at $159, but you can now get them for $99. Here's the link to purchase: http://www.futuresonics.com/

I've had them for about a month now and I look forward to my commute so I can listen to them. The only negative I've heard about them is that they are brown. They are brown so they don't stand out when a singer uses them in a concert. But that shouldn't be a problem in this crowd who believes "brown is the new black".

Of course I have no affiliation, and if you buy them and hate them, it's Pari's fault...just cause they're brown
