Advantages: shuts out background noise, allows lowr volume, decent sound, removable cord Disadvantages: slightly chunky, lack of lower bass
Anyone who has to travel to any extent whether it's by train, plane or bus will know how noisy the background can get and how high you have to have the volume to allow you to make out what you're listening to, especially with spoken word material like podcasts. Over time, these volume levels are both bad for your ears as well as being anti-social to other passengers.
There are plenty of headphones that claim to be noise-reducing or noise-cancelling but in practice, most are just designed to fill your ear canals more snugly.

Anyway, a true audiophile would not even attempt to listen to his favourite ...
Advantages: Looks good, excellent lens with image stabilisation, and good quality results. Disadvantages: Size, and a relatively high price of a non-SLR.
additional lenses, flash, and tripod). Panasonic electronics and Leica optics work well together. Can it be improved upon? They'll certainly try. However, in my view it's near perfect and any later model will only offer marginal improvements that most people won't notice in day-to-day use.
