thanks a lot to all of you who have given me bits and more bits of advice or information. i finally settled on getting a ATH-CK7. I think it's the first on my crazy adventure of earphones and audio-related stuff. thank you guys!

hmm, alright. i've been checking up on these models. the UM1 and 2 are seriously too expensive. i do mind getting a second hand set, just don feel good bout it. i think imma check out some IEMs first before deciding on getting headphones or not. thanks guys!

well, what do you guys think of headphones? the ES7 is way off my budget =/ my mum wont let me spend more than 120 bucks T_T also, i've read through the headphone amps thread but i still don quite understand. do i need an amp to produce better sound quality? does it help to get an amp with a good headphone / earphone?

actually, i don mind getting a can cause i've never had one before. but, there are hardly any reviews on ATH-SQ5. i'll go check up on the SCL 2 and westone um2 thanks guys

hi guys, i just joined like 5 minutes ago! anyway, i'll be direct. My In-ear 15 bucks earphones just broke and since i've been saving up, i wanna get a good earpiece. anyway, i went down to Stero at CWP today around 4.40. (very good salespeople! *two thumbs up*) I took a look at the new ATH-SQ5 from Audio Technica. it seemed to improve the music quality that my iPod produced, somehow. however, the SQ5 did not give me the isolation i wanted. i was also introduced to the ES7 and some other can (cant rmb model) my question now is, is it better to get cans or earphones (in ear) also, any recommendations of both? my budget's 120 dollars. *decent isolation and good sound quality*
