Headphones

tbh, for college setitngs ESPECIALLY in library (public places that is quite, i.e. elevator). In-ear Monitor type headphones are way superior than these open-headphones.Phonak Audeo, Etymotic Research's ER6, or the mid-range Shure all offer great sound qualities.IEM's has few unique benefits:1. They are inserted into ear canal, so you listen at a reduced volume which can protect your hearing.2. less fatigue for lower volume.3. When listening to music, they offer near silent ambient sound, and completely passive noise reduction.4. nearly silent to ppl next to you (because they are sealed in your ear) which the normal type of headphones do so well. ever get to hear what the dude next to you was playing??The only requirement is that your MP3 to be at least a decent quality 160kbps. because these IEM are quite sensitive, they pick up very clear sound stage which can be both a blessing and a curse.
