Etymotics Vs Shure High End Headphones

Has anyone compared these headphones? A local dealer has the $499.00 Shure headphones but not for demo and returnable for store credit only.

I bought the etymotics years ago as the killer high end in ear headphones but never really loved them.

A bit claustrophobically uncomfortable - even with custom earpieces -- and a bit thin in the bass.

I continue to dream of truly portable high end sound for business travel and wonder if the Shure products are worth a look.

Thank you.

There is a very interesting paper by Mr linkwitz on earbuds.
Here is the address: http://www.linkwitzlab.com/reference_earphones.htm
Plus the site is excellent as well. I like the Sony's he talks about amd will most likely purchase the Shures, but dont feel rushed as the Sonys are very good especialy for the money.
