Is there anything recommendable between the $15 and $200 ends?
I find the sound with them in to be acceptable, and afterward my ears do not ring or feel muffled like they used to. One positive/negative is that with them on I can usually hear the singer better. This is either a good or bad thing depending on the band and how well the singer can actually sing. Also, because they do attenuate higher frequencies more than lower ones, shoegazer type stuff loses a lot of its impact. Shoegazer is probably the worst thing that's ever happened to my ear-health (but I love love love it). I usually take the earphones out for at least 1 song (usually the closer) just to hear the whole spectrum unimpeded.
