Just got some E4Cs...

[Philippine Mango]

I just got some E4Cs for a awesome price of around $150, shipping was a ridiculous price of $20....:roll: But anyways at first when I tried out the phones, they left a lot to be desired and I fiddled around with the phones for quite a while but now I've got them fit the way I want, I've got to say, they're absolutely amazing..

Their sound isolation is incredible, and to the people who can't tell the difference between 128K mp3/quality 3 OGG vorbis and lossless, well you certainly will with these 'phones. While it isn't night a day equivalent of 64K WMA and 128K WMA, it's very noticeable and leaves much to be desired between the CD (lossless) and the compression version of it. I also tried it at 320KB/s MP3 and while the difference was less, I still was able to tell the difference.

I'm really happy with these 'phones because of their comfort level and the fact I finally have headphones that can eliminate outside noises which 'buds could never do.

You should sell those and give the money to the people in Sudan. How dare you spend so much on plastic and silicon!

Did you actually do a blind test when comparing the MP3s? Or was it just a guess?

That'd be a waste of money, I feel no guilt on spending money on this despite people starving across the world.. Money solves nothing, all it does is prolong the agony that everybody goes through, no matter how much money you throw at people in undeveloped third world countries where people are unable to help them selves (small children) it will never go away. I do hope though that as I get older, I can in some way, help those countries (more than just money) and possibly then they will be able to prosper.

Had no need to, it was self evident, on my crappier headphones, it was much harder to distinguish it, this was also from my laptop headphone jack (integrated audio) nonetheless..

Only half serious, my belief is serious but him *actually* wanting me to give money to people in sudan, didn't take seriously...

170 shipped, made me do UPS and it was anything but "quick" by my standards...

Placebo effect is strong.
Many times I would swear I can hear a clear difference between my Audigy2 and my Chaintech AV-710.. other times, they sound identical.
