That'd b the colour I get Amazing to think au.ta is becoming responsible . Amazing. Will be getting them after payday, as tehy DO cut out alot more then what my pair do, and a permanant pair would rock, saving a new pair or 2 every week, which is $30 a month?

--djway

ok just got word

the ER-20's are the $35 pairs

but the ER-25's are $250 and need to be moulded..


now there must be a massive difference there!

i know they're not headphones.
but i'd be interested in a review for these.

especially the comfort side of things

great info there - its nice to know that by the time we've realised that hearing loss is occuring its too late to save our ears

I'll be content with having this level of hearing for the rest of my life - and wear my ear plugs with a knowing look if anyone asks in the club!

i would say compared to some people i dont go out much at all, probably once a month on average. Is that time enough to let my ears heal?

curious.

Dood if you listen to ur discman @ level 10/11 or extreme like that its the same thing, i have my mp3player with me all the time, it can go up to level 20, but i never go past 11, there is no need, it begins to clip n become distorted, besides trance music = quality music, n the better the reproduction of it, the bigger our smiles get ... seee like diz --->

Rob - yes sounds like you are deaf to sum extent already, might wanna get it checked out n for fcuk sakes get urself sum earplugs.

One other thing, ive read sumwhere that you shouldn't be tempted to put ur discman levels higher when you are on the train/bus, this is because the street levels are already loud enough as it is, therefore what people mostly do is turn up the volume... BIG NO NO!!!

If the sounds from the street is already invading your ears don't turn up the volume, you are doing more damage as the headphone/earphone is very close to your ear drum, meaning it will damage in a shorter period of time.

I have a family fren who went deaf from discmans, she used to travel to work on the train for years and that fucked them up big time, for every 1 hour you spend listenin to loud music, you should quadriple the number of hours you spend letting your ears relax and get time off to heal themselves.

If you go to G@S, don't turn up the trance in the car/discman, cause that will fcuk your ears up even more then what you have already done to them @ the club, this means that don't listen to music at high volumes for a couple of days.

Lets take care of our hearing peoples, otherwise all our trance music will be pretty worthless when we get older, since we won't be able to listen to it.

Meh by the time it affects me they'll have a cure for it!!!

Lethals theory on life.....

true bassaholix

You know what scared me hard last night, while i was reading this thread i got curious to how much damage my ears have dealt that i have yet to see...now i go put on the hi-fi on normal volume to put on some music, for about 3 seconds in my ear starts ringing...now after about 20 seconds later it just disappeared...scary stuff.

a mate of mine has the same thoughts on smoking... i hope for his sake they do.. although i wouldnt count on it!

personally i dont think my ears are up to the standards they use to be.. im always turning things up when others are wanting them down.. and im often asking people to repeat what they have just said which is why ive decided to take action now to prevent further damage

just getting into serious dj'ing now, so my ears still have a long way to go yet.. better protect them as much as possible!

i'll wait till monday if it hasnt come by then i'll email em

Hi guys, I'm sorry I haven't been on here for a while; I have so much other stuff going on.

This is an excellent thread, there are some very informative posts here. Thanks to everyone who has contributed. I'm glad you guys take the topic seriously. I started taking it seriously after learning of how my friend is now disabled for the rest of his life.

The Etymotic plugs look interesting, my friend who has tinnitus recommended pine-tree shaped plugs and I think he's referring to these ones. I think I'll get myself a pair.

Etymotic is the producer of some high-end earphones. Their ER-4P and ER-4S earphones are regarded as being in the top-of-the-range of earphones. They cost US$330. People say that their earphones are less likely to cause ear damage than other cheaper earphones. Though of course, that's no reason to be listening continuously for 8 hours per day!

Here's a review:
http://www.firstscience.com/SITE/ed...gs_20062003.asp

Check out the headfi.org forums for anything to do with headphones, the people on there really know their stuff. It's great when you want to buy some equipment.

After reading this thread I decided to do a search on the headfi forums for "tinnitus", and it returned around 200 threads. For example, have a look at this interesting thread, titled "My ear hurts...":
http://www4.head-fi.org/forums/show...?threadid=25228

Those who have purchased a pair of plugs, please write your experiences using them.

My etymotic-20s arrived from perth yesterday - typical, they arrive on the monday after the weekend when i really coulda used em They took 10 days to get here.....

Haven't had a chance to try em out properly yet (obviously)....they're a bit uncomfy, but that's probably cos I'm not used to earplugs at all....or maybe I have weird shaped ear canals *lol* But, I'll see how they go

hehe maybe :P

i got mine yesterday
and your right its uncomfortable, i put them in i still hear everthing so thats a good sign :P
hmm well it looks kinda funny, looks like im some kinda freak with things sticking out of my ears?
but i guess its better to be a freak then having your ears blown out

i tried spinning with these - it has no effect what so ever, im able to spin without a problem. (just feels different, maybe cos im not use to them?)

cheers
