I've been reading though a bunch of threads on earphones/headphones.
I used to have an on-ear Sony which I was very happy with but now the noise-cancelling is dead (for the rest they still work) and I haven't been able to find anyone who can fix them. I also still had a pair of in-ear Sony's lying around (the cheap ones - they retail for about $60 I think) and HATE them. I've tried all bud sizes and they just don't fit comfortably and the stupid battery is on the cord so the wait pulls your head down a bit - annoying.
From reading this and others threads I realise that in-ear is probably best in terms of weight, size and volume, IF you can stand them.
I'm considering getting the Shure 530PTH and then have the buds customised (and where would I have that done here in the UK?).
Would that work, or is it a case of hating the in-ear once, hate it forever?
If I did get them I've read mixed reports on the PTH. It'd be handy for in airplanes I guess but some say it's a bit large and ugly. Whaddayareckon?
