Product Pr0n: Earbud HeadphonesNeither rain, nor sleet, nor painful prompter miscues can stop G4’s intrepid tech correspondent: Wil O’Neal. In this week’s Product Pr0n segment I took a look at four after-market earphones: the super.fi 5EBs from Ultimate Ears, Etymotic Research’s 6i Isolators, Westone’s UM1 Earphones, and Sennheiser’s CX300s. While they’re all vastly superior to the shitty earbuds that ship with MP3 and personal video players, they’re not all created equal. Watch the segment and let me know what you think.

You're fucking hot.
I love my Shure in-ears. Simultaneously makes your music listenable AND drowns out the drunken schizophrenic babbling in Spanish on the bus.
Honestly, I picked up the 15 dollar Koss "earplug" headphones or whatever they are called, honestly for 15 bucks I'm not going to memorize their name. It took some getting used to, maybe a little customization, but I've gotten them to function really well. Bass is good, sound is crisp and not metal tube-like.
I know that I would physically have to try them out to tell the difference, but I just can't imagine it getting THAT much better, to make me really spend two hundred dollars on them. Could they honestly ever BE that good? Or is it something for the people with money can buy and feel like they're getting top-of-the-line merchandise?
OK, this is totally off-topic, but I have to ask you about the shirt(s) you wore during this segment. I saw this on TV originally, and noticed the anti-Che shirt. Interesting, I thought, but I wondered if it was just a shirt to you, or if you were making an ironic statement, or what. (To tell the truth, I would expect younger geek-types to wear the straight-up Che shirt.)
Then when the segment was over, I saw you wearing a Ronald Reagan shirt in the Che style. Awesome! Anyway, I guess that's my round-about way of asking if you're a closet conservative...
yeah what's the deal with the shirts? Are you gonna wear this one next:
