So you say you have a dollar or two extra to buy the best earbuds you can have to record VO in your home studio? Well, now the price is a bit on the high side with these new hearing "aids" from JH Audio: (click on the link, and marvel at the price) http://www.wired.com/reviews/product/pr_jhaudio_earbuds

What do you want for Christmas Shirley?

OMGFRAGGLES! I don't think my ears are good enough for those.

I had a buddy in Colorado who bought a pair of Sony MDR-EX700LP buds before consulting his business partner (read wife).



It was quite funny how he was showing them off to everyone the day they arrived and getting a return merchandise authorization the very NEXT day.

I have a great pair of in-ear monitors I use for ear-prompters from http://www.earfuze.com/

The "Fuze" are inexpensive and sound great for my purpose(s). For some odd reason I cannot see myself paying an arm, leg, and a foot for something to stick in my ears... But, wait, the sound is great (and for the price, the sound had better be...)!

Just thought I would share the knowledge of where the audiophile spends his/her cash.

Hey Frank -- On your recommendation (a year or so ago) I bought some of the Earfuze in ear phones.

I am thinking of buying one or two more -- Why? Well, I don't really have a need for more right now, but every danged time I find something I really like, they quit making it! So -- the obvious answer is to buy a few and hold on! I'd do it right now, but I'm kinda busy with my Procrastinatin'.

Anyway... Thanks for recommending them, they really are outstanding!

YIKES! But you have to pay dearly for something described as "the size of a Pinto bean." See, I can never write that word now w/out capitalizing it!

Those fuze look fantastic. Thanks for the link.
