it's kind of dangerous walking around with this headphone on since it really does block out the ambience noise quite well.

i thought i knew jimi hendrix's albums by heart, but it was like listening to a new track with these on.

amps are great, but it's great not to need one as your mp3 portable or cd player will do rather nicely.

with music: i had trouble hearing any noise outside the music, it was almost completely silent...i could turn my ipod down to around 25% of max volume and could hear every instrument and then some.

overall, turning on the switch was the same as putting in earplugs, except that when you turn on your ipod it sounds a lot better.

on top of that, i haven't yet connected these to my receiver; i've only used a sony walkman cd player & a creative zen with a fiio e-5 headphone amp.

in terms of quality, i can't really list anything technical but i've worn a lot of headphones and the quality from these whether you're listening to a 128mbps file on an ipod, a 320 file on an ipod

you won't see me walking around public with these on.

although they are very light and flexible, you can tell they are still built well and are farily sturdy.

i am able to accurately track my enemies without ever needing to see them, their footsteps work just fine ;).
