Since you're such a headphone enthusiast, you must like to also clean your ears out, yes?
Ear cleaning tips, please?
Buy a ear drop cleaning thing at a drug store or walmart (if you must) or whatever.
Usually that's just peroxide, fyi.

Those aa2065 have my attention. How much better can I expect them to be over some senheisser hd 202 or 212?
edit - and compared to the earlier ear clips, e9s I think they were, how do they do?
They're some of my new favorite headphones. They hold their own with much expensive pairs. The HM5 brainwavs re-brand is often compared to headphones in the $250 range. They have a bigger soundstage and are much, much more clear. The clarity is great and the sound is very neutral. They'll probably have more bass, but if you're expecting something really heavy in the bass, you'll be disappointed. That's the one caveat - the signal is totally neutral and will lead some bassheads to simply think the things lack power. That isn't to say it's devoid of it, but the 202 are sort of known for that "fun, bassy" sound at times and that's just not necessarily what those are "for." That doesn't mean to say that the Jaycars are boring, just that they're more built for making the music sound how it's intended to sound with no emphasis in any one area. They're also much larger.
The EW9 are great. They also are somewhat lacking in bass and they leak a little sound so the punchiness is lacking, but they do have a more fun-oriented sound like the HD202, with very good emphasis on vocals and treble. Strings sound great, but they are somewhat lacking when it comes to punchy rock or hip-hop. They're also much, much smaller than they might look. An alternative to these if you're not too set on the clip-on style are the ES7, which offer a similar sound with better fit, comfort, isolation and a bit more bass: http://www.amazon.com/Audio-Technica-ATH-ES7-Portable-Headphones-Black/dp/B000R0TPQ8?tag=duckduckgo-d-20 ... not as sexy though :]
EDIT: You'll see some poor reviews for the EW9, with most suggesting they're not worth the money. Keep in mind when these were released (back around 2003!), they were in the $350 range and I agree -they're not worth that. At their current price? I'm thinking about getting another pair.
