Don't sit on them.
Don't let others sit on them.
Don't let pets use them as toys.
Don't spill food or drink on them.
Don't let children use them as toys.
Don't wheel over the cords with your chair.
Don't let the cords get snatched by a branch or obstacle.
This can be solved, mostly, by keeping them on your head at all times.

No matter if you have a $20 pair of over-the-ear headphones, a $7 earbuds a $1,200 T1 or a $5,200 SR-009 you always notice that certain songs make your headphones really shine and enjoy the most.
The importance of a good song list is even more important when testing equipment you want to buy.

Headphones 201 - Headphones Styles - EARBUDS

As promised we'll go a bit deeper in the styles of headphones. 

Disclaimer: There are some types of HPs to which I'm not particularly fond of, so my experience with them  is not as wide as with other styles, but they share certain characteristics that can be easily compared and for this entry I'll stick to 3 of them: comfort, sound & general applications.

Earbuds

This kind of headphone is extremely popular because they are cheap, small, portable, lightweight and if designed and used correctly almost non-intrusive.

Review - AudioTechnica ATH-ANC23

First of all Id like to thank Headphones.com for the IEMs, I was the lucky and happy winner of the weekly giveaway a couple months ago and of course AudioTechnica.

I received them about a couple weeks ago, they arrived nicely packed, so no complains about that.
