Nope

woops. sorry about that..

I've decided that i'll buy for home use headphone for under 100 bucks and another pair of earbuds for portable..

the reason i was against earbuds was that they damage the ears and because i'm a musician i can't afford this to happen. also i had a bad experience with earbuds.

after a periot of time one side would drop dead.

i can't see there firms like panasonic ,jvc and so on. any recommends earbuds execpt the RP-JE50?

By the way, what is the defference between ::Full-size supra/circum-aural:: and ::IEMs/canalphones (closed in-ear)::

thanks alot and sorry for the double posting.

I copy this from a website some time ago, but dont remember where:

Headphone Types

Open Headphones Open headphones are any types of headphones that let you listen to the music without blocking out external sound. For example, wearing open headphones you would hear if someone spoke to you while the music was playing, so long as you don't have your volume too loud.

Closed Headphones Closed headphones are block out external sound while you have them on. For example, wearing closed headphones you would not hear if someone spoke to you while the music was playing.

Earbuds Earbuds sit in your ear, but do not go into your ear canal. Most portable music players are supplied with cheap and nasty earbuds. Some aren't so nasty, but most are relatively inexpensive. Earbuds offer very little isolation from external noises.

Canal Phones Canal phones, as the name implies, go a small way into your ear canal. The sound quality is typically much better than earbuds, but they're also more expensive. It can take a few days to get used to them: most people do get used to them, but some people can't tolerate things in their ears. Canal phones range in price from maybe $30 up to $1000. Canal phones offer between good and excellent isolation from external noises, which makes them great for some situations (eg commuting on the subway/bus) and bad for others (eg walking on a busy city street).

Clipons Clipons kind of, um, clip onto your ears somehow, usually by putting something behind your ear. We've never seen any so we can't be entirely sure - if you have send us a better description!

Street Style Street style headphones are known for their looks, not their sound quality or comfort. The headband goes behind your head and rests on your ears, which has the advantage of not messing up your hair. This means that can be good for people who commute to work, but in our opinion you're better off with canal phones if you don't mind having things in your ears.

Circumaural Circumaural means the headphone pads go around your ears, which is different from supra-aural headphones. Circumaural headphones are generally much more comfortable than supra-aural headphones. This term mainly applies to the open and closed headphones described above: clipons and street styles are usually supra-aural, but it's possible for them to be circumaural.

Supra-aural Supra-aural means the headphone pads rest on your ears, which is different from circumaural headphones. Supra-aural headphones are generally less comfortable than circumaural headphones. This term mainly applies to the open and closed headphones described above: clipons and street styles are usually supra-aural, but it's possible for them to be circumaural.

Noise Cancelling Headphones Noise cancelling headphones are used to reduce the volume of low frequency sounds, such as aeroplane jet engines, or air conditiong in large buildings. Noise cancelling headphones tend to be expensive and not have the best overall sound quality. A good alternative is canal phones.
