Holy crap? Check out the prices for the Sure E5! I thought that
Etymotics were expensive until I saw this;-)

but how can that price be justified anyway? I mean, you will NEVER
remove backround noise in a public environment (or even many private
ones) and I have my doubts that any speaker that small can truely sound
good. and the wires will break sooner or later anyway.

in the home you can use proper headphones or speakers.

whats the real reason people buy these things?

The Etymotics reduce background noise more than most closed-back
headphones, and they truly do sound good.

Etymotics *are* proper headphones.

whats the real reason people buy these things?

They sound good.

I think I paid about a ton for mine about a year ago. Never regretted it
though.
