The ER-6i's are rather nice. The rubber flange ear-buds are crap (I suspect they're too small for my ear canals) but the foam buds fit well and so far I'm very impressed with their clarity. I also got the sensitivity thing -- while I could just dial the volume on my iPod up to maximum with the NC-11s, that would be positively painful with the ER-6i's.

So it's back to listening to Freudstein, the Dresden Dolls, Chicks on Speed, and VNV Nation ...
