EarSonics SM3 Universal Fit IEM
"Remember those essays you had to write in grade school? Well I do even if you don't. In honor of that memory, I am going to write: What does the EarSonics SM3 mean to me? Back in March I was going to order the EarSonics SM3 based off the few things I have read about them, even though it wasn't much. But then something stopped me. Could they really be that good, and the shipping cost was as..." --average_joe
Etymotic ER-4P Portable In-Ear Earphones
"First impression, extreme clarity without being harsh, very bad cable design, people said ER4 lacking bass, either they are are lover of Aurisonics or they didn't get the insertion right with ER4s Even with P to S adaptor, still deliver great bass. fast, precise and great texture. And one of the deepest bass I've heard coming from BA driver. -Sound Overly compressed/brick wall record sound..." --darkinners
Etymotic Research HF3
" After being disappointed by the Apple In-Ear Headphones with Remote and Mic, I decided to explore a set from a well-regarded company in the audio world. I had to pick something with Apple's in-line iPhone controls that could get good isolation and fit. Those were my complaints with the Apple product. The HF3 seemed to be well designed, and more importantly, they offered a custom-fit..." --Lugie
Etymotic Research HF5 Portable In-Ear Earphones
" First off let me preface by stating that I bought these on a whim. I had read many things about Etymotic's penchant for accurate reproduction. The initial impressions I got from these were a mixed bag. First off, I love the isolation factor, putting these on in the middle of a crowded communal area was like stepping into a library. I tried the various silicone..." --Exarch
EarSonics SM64
"I've now had these earphones for over a year and I remain breathless at how versatile they are. The below list should give readers of this review a good idea of the kind of sound I have been used to in the past as I have owned the following. IEM's: - Westone W40 - Shure 530/535 SE (Red) - Sennheiser IE8/IE80 - Etymotic ER-4S HEADPHONES: - Sennheiser HD 650 - Sennheiser HD 580 - Audio..." --gregaus
EarSonics Velvet
"It was a long time since I orignally intended to write this review as I wanted to check black Velvet in addition to the Crystal velvet I've had. You can find a lot of impression on Head-fi thread and there are several good reviews which are very detailed so you can get an average impression of what to expect so this is going to be not so huge review but I try to cover most important..." --LMka
EarSonics SM3 v2 universal in-ear monitors
"http://www.earsonics.com/SM3%20engl.htm v2 page. Aside from the cable and new body, my impressions match what I had in my v1 review. http://www.head-fi.org/products/earsonics-sm3-universal-fit-iem/reviews/4422 Otherwise, these sound about the same as v1/the new ear-piece body shape is a lot more ergonomic(seems to be a bit smaller as well, but not as easy to get a good seal... At the same..." --svyr
Etymotic Research ER-4PT In-Ear Earphones
"let's keep this short, simple and sweet-just like the earphones being reviewed. Why are these things so good?? could it be the superb balance between lows, mids and highs? or the excellent isolation, that lets you enjoy your music at lower volumes while not skipping any of the details?? Are they deserving of the near-legendary status that has kept these phones relevant in today's $1000..." --dxps26
Etymotic Research ER4B MicroPro Binaural In-Ear Earphones
" Nothing, not even a full-sized headphone, comes close to ER-4B in terms of tonal accuracy(diffuse-field). How accurate is it? Its target response is almost same as the one from the most up-to date study on the eardrum response in a diffuse-field. Although this product is advertised for binaural recordings only, it is basically same as ER-4S with the lack of room attenuation at the high..." --udauda
EarSonics EM32
"EarSonics has made its last flagship for the guigs, but the EM32 can without a doubt satisfy audiophile who are looking for the "neutrality" with a reinforcement in the sub and the highs. The main characteristic is the same as for the EM3pro/EM4/EM6 : musicality and body ! But here you have all in one, that's the improvement. 3 transducers, 3 ways, two bores, no one on the market is..." --Rollk2

'Hot' competition looks to save energyJeb Wallace-Brodeur / Staff File Photo
Zach Green, of Northfield, caulks around a new insulated basement door during a weatherization project at a Williamstown home. A statewide challenge asks homeowners to commit to taking energy-efficiency measures this year.
MONTPELIER — Rob Apple's multistory home built in the 1850s had major heating losses until a few years ago.
Apple said he has saved about 20 percent on his heating oil bill each year due to weatherization improvements from 2010 or 2011, which included adding insulation like cellulose between the second floor and attic and putting foam on his basement walls.
"The air coming out of my basement was basically sifting through the house ... and there were considerable opportunities to tighten up the place," he said Thursday, standing in his Winter Street home with Gov. Peter Shumlin to advocate for a new initiative for other Vermonters.
If a statewide energy assistance service, Efficiency Vermont, has its way, more than 3,500 homes across the state will follow suit in the Home Energy Challenge. The initiative calls for people to pledge to make improvements this year, such as using energy-efficient light bulbs or a programmable thermostat.
Towns can compete with others in their region to see which can achieve the highest percentage of homes weatherized this year.
The state is trying to meet a goal of weatherizing 80,000 homes by 2020 to improve energy efficiency. Last year, 1,000 households underwent weatherization projects, Efficiency Vermont officials said. To meet the goal, 5,000 homes need to be weatherized annually, the officials said.
Vermont's Weatherization Program pays for such improvements for households whose income is up to 60 percent of the median. Kelly Lucci, a spokeswoman for Efficiency Vermont, which is run by the nonprofit Vermont Energy Investment Corp., said the program has a waiting list of more than a year.
Apple received a rebate on some of the improvements he made but said he still had to "bite the bullet" and spend close to $8,000. He said the investment probably will be returned in about five or six years.
To participate in the Home Energy Challenge, go to efficiencyvermont.com/action or call 888-921-5990.

Six Whose Path to Excellence Was on the Mean Streets of Adversity
Published: March 3, 1999
(Page 2 of 2)
But it is only with the award and other financial help that he can enroll anywhere. His mother, a teacher's aide, makes less than $18,000 a year. On the line in the scholarship application that asked whether his family had money in the bank, he wrote, ''$84.59.''
QiQi Cheng's mother, who was persecuted during China's Cultural Revolution, is a waitress in a restaurant in Chinatown. She makes $7,000 a year, barely enough to pay their rent in Elmhurst.
In interviews with the students this week, all described lives of hardship and loneliness, made lonelier, they said, because they often had to turn away from friends and family to succeed academically.
''There is no middle ground for me,'' said Anahad, some of whose brothers and sisters did not finish high school. ''Either I do well in school or I end up falling behind and stay in the neighborhood for the rest of my life.''
In his application, he remembered being on the subway in junior high school and staring at students in well-pressed private-school uniforms. ''I envied them not simply because they were wealthy,'' he wrote, ''but because they could afford the higher standard of education that I coveted so much.'' Later, when he could not get an advanced chemistry course at his high school, he and his teachers managed to get him into the course at Stuyvesant, which is nearby.
Mirela Miraj spoke in her interviews for the scholarship of the suffering she experienced in Albania because she was a Catholic among a Muslim majority. But once she got to New York, she transformed pain and bitterness into determination. ''A man's soul is harder than rock,'' she wrote in her application. ''I have seen people who have suffered every atrocity and have still been able to survive and go on. Many of these people, including my parents, have inspired me along the way.'' She and her parents -- her father is a porter at Trump Tower -- live with her older sister and her brother-in-law and their two young children in a small apartment in Ridgewood, Queens.
Elizabeth Murray, who bounced from apartment to apartment and often onto the park benches and streets of the Bedford Park section of the Bronx after her mother died, also found an unlikely catalyst. ''I was poor, lived in a rundown neighborhood and was neglected, left to raise myself,'' she wrote. ''I found that I was an increasingly bitter person, resentful towards anyone who had the means I lacked.'' But she said that when she began living on the streets, not knowing where she would eat next, ''something in me changed.''
''I started to grasp the value of the lessons I was learning living on the streets. I knew after overcoming these obstacles, next to nothing could hold me down.''
She now supports herself, scraping by to pay rent in her own apartment with help from welfare. She has applied to Brown and Harvard.
At a welfare office recently, she recalled, she had to ask an interviewer to hurry because she had an interview later with Harvard.
''The woman looked at me and rolled her eyes and said, 'Yeah, right, and that girl over there, she's got one with Yale.' ''
