Won't somebody think of the starving hamsters in China?

I'm all for getting a better response out of my plugs, but not at the expense of my hearing. The earlier poster's remarks kinda turn me off to trying the Alpines, though I am curious.


Actually, the Alpines wouldn't offer a better response, with the big fat caveat that this is based on the numbers the manufacturers offer, not any measurements or tests I did.

The Hearos are apparently fairly comparable to the Etymotic ER20s. They should dampen the highs about 3dB more, but from some numbers I've seen that is well within the standard deviation of such measurements.

Applying these curves to some music, the difference in coloration is quite noticable, though I doubt very much this experiment is very meaningful.

e. Missed there being an entire extra page to this thread, not that it matters much.
