Query: Not worth the price tag

the sound isolating is NOT as good as people rave about.yes, it does decrease the amount of outside sound you hear, but it doesn't block it entirely as many people seem to rave. If you listen to something with a lot going on, like The White Stripes, and play it a little loud, then yes you cannot hear outside sound. but if you listen to classical, spoken word, alt country, for example, and you do not crank the volume, you will still hear people talking on their cell phones, the sound of the subway, the co-worker on speakerphone 4 cubes away.I wish I hadn't spent $150 on this model and had just gone for the $70 E2 instead. Plus the cord is such a pain. the "wear it over your ear" style feels uncomfortable and the cord never stays over my ear and always needs attention and re-arranging.
