I'm not listening! I'm not listening!  [ironically sticks fingers in ears].

I don't listen loud very often.  But you're tempting me to get some over 
ears for home, and only use in-ears when out and about.  Think I might 
just get another pair of these Klipsch S4s, and spend more time on 
forums etc looking into some over ears (and saving up). Then the in-ears 
would last longer anyway, not getting hammered at home.
