[P1] headphone recommendation wanted

[Reid Conti]

I've got Shure E2c's, they're about $90 too.. also in-ear phones like
the Ety's.  I just think the Bose (and all other non-earphone-style
headphones) are too bulky.  And don't sound as good :)  Great noise
blocking, really better than noise cancelling ones becasue noise
cancelling only works for droning sounds, not like talking and stuff. 
:)

And no, you don't have to turn them up, theyj ust go way in your ears.
 Tehy will play at a lower volume tahan normal headphones and sound
better, so you save your hearing.. no more 'blasting' to overcome
outside sounds.
