I always thought that earbuds would not be able to supply very good sound quality so I never spent much money on them because I tend to destroy them by catching the cords on things in the shop. In my shop I wear hearing protection over my ears and so if I want to listen to music or an audio book I need to use ear buds. Well now I will need to be really careful of the earbud cord because I bought some more expensive earbuds that had great reviews. I was shocked by how good they sound. Really. I had no idea they could sound so good. In the past all the earbuds I tried all sounded pretty bad, but things have changed. A lot. So now I want to buy some new headphones for listening at home. I listen to all kinds of music. Jazz, bluegrass, classical, country swing, rock and roll, just to name a few. Folks like Miles Davis, Andy Narell, Claude Bolling, Etta James, Herbie Hancock, Dan Hicks, Ali Farka Toure, Jeff Beck, Jimi Hendrix, Asleep At The Wheel, Sons Of Champlin, Sungha Jung, Tom Lehrer, etc. So the headphones I want need to not emphasize any particular frequencies except perhaps some of the higher ones because I have some hearing loss in the higher frequencies. So I am looking for any recommendations you folks may have. I'll be looking at online reviews too but I have almost always gotten good advice from this newsgroup. Thanks, Eric
