6/24    Can anyone recommend a good set of headphones for listening
        to music/playing games/etc.
        \_ I really like my Sennheiser HD535 headphones. Very good
           dynamic range. Only annoyance is sound escapes, so other
           people nearby can actually hear the music from the headphones.
        \_ listening to music and playing games have different requirements.
           akg for sound quality.
        \_ Go to a place that sells electronics, find one of those nice big
           headphones from a brand you trust.  Don't sweat the details.
        \_ Sony MDR-7506 or Grado SR-60 for around $100 would be your best bet

        I'm 32 and I hear it loud and clear on both of my headset and my
        desktop speakers and it gives me a big headache. However, my friend
        can barely hear it. Same age. How about you?

5/4     earphone recommendation:
        I am debating between Etymotic ER-6 and Shure E2/E2C.  Does anyone
        has experience with both?  recommendation?  I've lost my Sennheiser
        and I decided that I am going to try passive sound isolation.
        \_ I'm no audiophile, but I have both, and I prefer the ER6s.  They
           fit better and seem to block out more ambient noise.

1/3     What headphones (non-earbud) do you use or recommend for your
        Ipod or other MP3 Player?
        \_ I borrowed my friend's Sennheiser HD500 and could hear sounds
           I've never heard before on many songs. They're quite pricey
           but you'll notice the difference in sound quality.
        \_ I wonder why iPod doesn't have bluetooth. I hate the wires.

12/29   Motd gadget guru, I would like to get a noise cancellation
        headphone for use on airplanes and commutes, should I go with
        something like Sennheiser PCX 250, or Shure E2/3c? The Shure
        is more portable, how well does it work in airplanes? Thanks.
        \_ Related question, are there any noise cancellation headphones
