Those scouting a fancy new set of earbuds will be delighted to hear that M-Audio's latest are shipping now, and on paper, they certainly look swell. The IE-40s sport a triple-armature driver design for separate high-, mid- and low-frequency reproduction, an integrated passive crossover network, 26dB isolation from outside noise, a dark chrome motif and a dual-bore design that reportedly "delivers highs and lows via separate canals." You'll also get a swank carrying case, an extension cable, a full set of tips and a 1/8-inch to 1/4-inch adapter. 'Course, you'll be laying down a cool $499.95 to take these home, but we never said quality came cheap.
