I have the UE SuperFi5Pro two driver earphones and couldn't be happier. They produce really clean bass with amazing mids and highs and with the foam tips they do an excellent job of noise isolation. I haven't had any over the ear headphones for a long time. The last pair were Koss 4AA that weighed a ton but were the state of the art at the time. Funny thing is they are still made.

The only etymotics I own are their high fidelity ear plugs for concerts but they do a pretty good job.

Hey we just had another earthquake here in southern California at the same time the White House blew up in Independence Day. Now I'm disappointed it wasn't my sub bouncing my couch around! LOL.

It was a magnitude 5.7 about 50 miles from my house. Maybe the shaking is what a buttkicker feels like. I'll have to look into that.
