I've had a pair of these headphones for 6 months or so with the slimline Sony Discman (had to buy separately) and I'm in full agreement with you - fascinating readdressing of how inner ear 'phones work - they're called Sony Fontopia aren't they? The flexible plastic surrounds function pretty much like wax ear plugs and block a large amount of external sound. The speaker itself is held suspended in the ear rather than being placed against anything so there's a greatly improved sense of dynamics - in particular Pole sound stunning: Betke's attention to all parts of the spectrum is amazing. Recommended. (£30 to £40 in the UK) All the best, Colin. _____________________________ "... and life is a song sung low and cool to rouse the gentle spirit." (Jeff Noon)
