Best earbuds for sale in U.S.
I have the SR-60 and the SR-125. Nice headphones, but expect to spend
some money on replacement foam. Lately I use the Etymotic ER-6 http://www.etymotic.com/ephp/er6.aspx They are the only buds I can stand. Though the look delicate, I haven't broken them in 2 years of use. If you want phones to copy hard to hear signals, then an old pair of David Clarks does the trick. The fidelity isn't there, the David Clarks seem to make voice more intelligible. I don't know if Grado has the bucks to display at CES, but if they are, those headphones are sold very cheap at the show. If you know someone who is going, maybe they can get you some. The same with the Etymotics. David Clarks are about $50 used. They use the same seal as off the shelf noise isolators, so I replace my seals periodically by buying throw away noise isolators at Harbor Freight, just to get the seals. For extreme audio isolation, I use the ER-6 and Peltor noise isolators, the kind they sell for the shooting range. David wrote: On Tue, 3 Jan 2006 09:19:07 -0600, wrote: How about Bose earphones?

I've probably thrown away $60 worth of ear buds over the years (3
pairs, $20 a pop). The foam wears out, you can't get replacements, or they hurt my ears so I stopped using them. I've used the over the ear type, the ear hugger around the ear type, and some no-name brands. I actually use the ER6. The ER6 is $90 on the street. Expensive, but not really obscene. Since they have isolation, I wear them at air shows so I can hear the scanner over the aircraft noise.

I've been using these with the 7039+ and they sound pretty good. They use a silicon rubber cushion that does not break down like the foam. $14.99 http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...719&cp=&pg=3&k w=ear+buds&parentPage=search In article . com, wrote: I've probably thrown away $60 worth of ear buds over the years (3 pairs, $20 a pop).

That style hurts my ears. I simply end up throwing them away. You can
wear the ER6 for hours at a time (plane trips for instance). At the moment, the Shure Chinese copy is about the same price at the ER6. In fact, Etymotic would still be peddling $300 ER4s if Shure didn't come out with copies. I never tried the Future Sonics, but apparently they hold the high end market of ear buds. It's what musicians wear in concert in sets ups where stage monitors are not used. At least the shack sells replacement fittings. The Grado SR60s are like $70 from headroom. The pads are $10. I'd go that route if you can't justify $90 earbuds. The SR60 sound is better, but you look like a dork wearing headphones in public. Nobody can see the ER6. http://www.headphone.com/ Telamon wrote: I've been using these with the 7039+ and they sound pretty good.
