Yuck! Okay, I'll *have* to test it. I mean, 6-8 CDs in AIFF is nice as well,
25+ CDs in 360kBit/s even more so, but constant whining... I'd hate that...
I can stand the Newtons whine, but that is not that close to my ear, after
all.

I actually saw one today (touch with foil only, no test :/), and I would not
use earplugs at all, I can't stand them. The KOSS Portapro is with me
already, and I'm not going to part from it. Not really cheap, but excellent
value for money.
