Title: In ear monitors Post by: kara on February 08, 2009, 10:47:46 AM Again I had 3 hours delay on the airport of Edingburgh ::)
The only thing you can do at that moment is have a beer and explore the airport shops, I wonder if they don't do it by purpose, just to force you to go to those shops :-\ In a hifi shop a vendor talked my into in ear headphones... when I said I was a musicians and worked a lot on a laptop with earphones (on airports and in hotels amongst others) he said he had the perfect in ear headphones for me. I've allways been a bit sceptic about those things, after all how can you get good quality from small things like that, they are just made to listen to some MP3 players, right ? Well no wrong ! I listened to SONY EX high precision monitors Here are the specs : - Multiple layer diaphragm, what ever that is.... - Freq. response : 5 - 25Khz !!! - Sensitivity : 106 db/mw - Special external noise reduction soft silicone ear buds. Now to be honest, I was amazed about the quality, I had Senheiser foldable earphones which are good quality, but those SONY ear buds are incredible. I wonder how they can have such a good response, expecialy in the lower range in such a litle buds ??? Having said that they are pretty expensive, but I couldn't resist ;) k Title: Re: In ear monitors Post by: folderol on February 08, 2009, 02:58:54 PM I've tried a few different types, but the biggest problems I have is getting them to stay in place, and not getting uncomfortable after a long session :(
I would actually accept a loss of quality if I could achieve a comfortable fit! Title: Re: In ear monitors Post by: kara on February 08, 2009, 06:35:59 PM I had the same problem as you Will and always stayed far from in-ear monitors.
But those are realy exceptional thanks to a new design and the soft silicon protection which come in 3 sizes in a way they fit any ear.

Title: Re: In ear monitors Post by: Wyatt on April 27, 2009, 11:41:06 PM Which ones did you get? MDR-EX32 freq resp 6-23000 Sensitivity 100 db Kara's probably sound even better than these..but when I first plugged them into my mp3 player, my first thought was: Dang..nothing wrong with mp3s!! 8) Wyatt |
