Did you get them custom? Or molded yourself?I use iem's on planes. Not wireless or noise cancelling but they work well for making the world outside disappear and I don't need to worry about dead batteries causing me trouble.
As much as I dislike bose sound, if I was buying noise cancelling phones, they would be the way I would look.
I like music....old school though. Not much of the current stuff in my library.
My music is a mix of new and old. Personally, I currently find myself in the middle of a very rare renaissance of new music; it's a special time. I've found a few new sources that have provided me with a huge amount of new music that I really enjoy. I've been posting some example in the what are you currently listening to thread. http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?186552-What-Are-You-Currently-Listening-To. Lots of variety there too.I was into that 50 years ago. Then I started hanging out in the bars downtown, listening to the up and coming bands.
I've often wondered why people want noise cancelling headphones? Post up some reasons, maybe I'm missing something.Any recommendations on wireless, noise cancelling headphones?

I always and only used iem's forever (the last 20 years), until I got my Sennheiser HD 598's over the ear headphones last christmas (9 months ago). Love my 598's now, they were a revelation and I'm a convert. I use them often and outside as well. iem's do have superior portability and more noise isolation. Each style has its strengths and weaknesses. I've never tried a high end more expensive pair of iem's, and yes you can even spend hundreds of dollars on iem's. Interesting reading up on the pricey enthusiast level iem's on the internet and maybe some here will want to check that out. Personally, I know that I prefer the sound quality of open back headphones, which present music in a way that iem's and closed back headphones simply can't.I use iem's on planes. Not wireless or noise cancelling but they work well for making the world outside disappear and I don't need to worry about dead batteries causing me trouble.

Bit of nostalgia: 25+ years ago I was flogging electronic components and made a call at a shop in Markham where they made high end amplifiers.
I ended up in the back shop, the typical block wall / metal roof industrial unit while the techie was running a unit through its paces. The thing looked like it came out of a WWII radio stack with all kinds of orange glow from the tubes.
The sound was amazing, so absolutely brilliant.
I went home to my blah transistors.
Tubes are a sure sign of audiophiles and for many people they never go back to solid state (SS) . I've got some tubes in my two channel system and it made a huge and positive difference.for anyone interested in the warmth of tube amplification
here's an affordable and fun way to give it a listen
DIY integrated stereo tube amplifier kit
I built one of these several years back and was really impressed with the sound for $200

In another thread I mentioned my Sennheiser HD 598 headphones that I should bring up here too
It says integrated amplifier; so it should have source inputs and speaker outputs with volume control included at least. Plug in speakers and for example a CD player (I'd guess analag rca outputs -> amp inputs). The unit also says 8 ohms at 8 watts. Better have some very efficient speakers.Stupid question time.
Where does this connect in my stereo/computer/music player? How good does the source have to be to be able to appreciate the difference this amp makes? Thinking it might be a fun gift for my nephew.
But the really important question is what headphone amp are you using with the Senns?
If this thread gets too abuzz with talk about tubes, I'm afraid it's going to make be re-ignite the bug and spend more big bucks on audio gear! Right now, I'm happy enough with my SET tube amp system. No one better get me thinking about upgrading to some Lowther horns or, god forbid, Avantgarde Duos!!!
