I've had lots of down time for a while now, and I just saw the old IEM (in-ear monitor/earbud) post while mining the site. I already posted that I got a Crane CC2E radio, mostly to listen to nighttime re-broadcasts of the local symphony orchestra. I bought Panasonic ErgoFit IEMs for something like $12, including "free shipping". The radio has very useful tone controls, and the cheap earbuds have not-too-annoying sound. With any earbuds, the fit is VERY important to sound profile, and bad cables can ruin everything if they are microphonic and/or they are antennae. These IEMs come with small, medium, and large rubber "gaskets" for the part that goes in one's ear. I use the smallest gasket. I got the later version of the ErgoFits, with "deeper LF output". My expectations were not high, and they have been exceeded.

Best regards,
Paul S
