I keep seeing more and more DJ's using earbuds. For you guys that actually still use tables and don't cheat on transitions or mixing(ableton junkies), do the earbuds really reduce the noise as much or more than good headphones?

I've been really wanting to get a pair of those Shure earbuds.

That's what I needed to know. Thanks bro.

Etymotic makes nice earbuds too might want to look at those also.

Not sure I want to spend that much but I might change my mind if I ever get the chance to give them a test drive. My problem is that I can't justify getting them when I have a really good expensive set of sennheiser headphones. The wife watches the spending, ya know.

Personally I'm probably going to get the $100 ones because that is all I can afford and I have to save up at that.

In what way?

They just get some getting used to... anytime you introduce new equipment, you have to learn how it is different. Best thing you can do is get 3 hours and a sixpack of beer and learn to use them.

Headphones are bulky and a pain to deal with. I like to be compact and able to hear what I'm doing.

good luck

"I think the scientific and the artistic spirit have something in common. The scientist wants not only to learn the facts, but to understand how they cohere, fit together and make a whole. He even uses criteria such as beauty and symmetry to help decide which theory he wants.

The scientist cannot capture the whole cosmos in thought. In his mind he makes a kind of microcosm, which we see as an analogue of the cosmos. In this way we try to get a feeling for the whole. The artist, I suppose, gets a feeling for the whole some other way.”
