clarity

i'm back to using my iPod's default white earphones, owing to the fact that my Shure earphones had wire damage. don't get me wrong - they gave me the best sound for 2 years; its my fault that i didn't take care of the cables when not in use. now i miss it a lot, because i can hear the inferior quality of the iPod earphones. i have to turn up the volume just to hear anything (or was i deaf already), which further risks my hearing. Shure definitely cancels noise, and even the roaring approach of a subway train doesn't prevent me from grooving to the Crystal Method, or hearing what Colin Cowherd was ranting about.

replacement Shures: $100. maybe next month.

I can get you similar replacement Sennheisers for 50 euros.

Really, your ability to shut yourself off sonically from your environment amazes me no end. I mean, if I were in a New York City subway, Id make sure I knew what was going on around me. :-D

i know what's going on around me. i haven't been hit by a train or vehicle yet. i just don't wanna hear everyone else's crap. and that wanna-be jay-z across my seat.
