I absolutely adore my Etymotic hf5s. If I were in your situation, the first thing I would look at would be a pair of Ety hf3s.

The hf5s isolate like a sensory deprivation tank and sound great to boot. _______________________________________________ Tech mailing list Tech@lists.lopsa.org https://lists.lopsa.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tech This list provided by the League of Professional System Administrators http://lopsa.org/
