As I said at the time - too flattering!

A bit too slim around the midriff and his right leg isn't stuck out at the correct jaunty angle!

These are the best I am aware of. They totally block out all ambient sound. They also make a model that allows some ambient in.

Do they come with their own security guard ? 😂 $1350. I had looked at the ue5 but I am just not sure about multiple drivers in something so small! I think I would look at Sennheiser IE6 or 8s. I actually just bought some more A8s as I couldn't find anything else easily available in a bricks and mortar store.

1350usd, phew! :)

😂 Yep! Definitely something for Lee to sweatily jog/run around/exercise with... particularly on very rainy days!

Logitech though... so they may actually take it! 🙂

Well, Lee, you "asked" for it! 😂

I'm sure either would work fine.
