Today, I took my Apple In-Ear Headphones (yes, those rare beasts), retrofitted it with double-flanged silicone tips, and slammed them as far as I can into my ear canals.

It sounded better than everything I heard so far. As a person with synaesthesia who also loves music, I tried a _lot_ of earphones of all price ranges.

Apparently I accidentally reinvented Etymotic Research.
