I've also noticed that they make my tinnitus louder (it's already
constant). Earphones aren't as bad as earbuds, but best for me is
regular ol' speakers.

I mainly use them when tweaking compositions, so I don't drive otehr
people in the house insane listening to the same 5 measures over and
over... ;)
So, I jus thave a pair of Maxell digital ones - they're good (for me) for
what I use them for ;) But I'm not an audiophile, so I don't know much
at all about headphones.

Now that could be interesting.

*40*? Wow. If I ever need to get new ones, I know who to ask for advice
