radioactive28 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 ^ as per the title i'm looking for something with full cups, circumaural, meaning to use them for daily commute. prepared to pair with the ldm+ if necessary. the ety's are nice (currently on the er6i), but i want to try something else, and experience better head-stage. the er4s are 500 at hung bros and se says the rrp is way high anyway, so i'm thinking cans shouldn't cost that much. thanks =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MemoryLane 0 Report post Posted January 6, 2007 I'm waiting to try out the Super Fi 10 when the stock arrives, so you might want to try it out as well. My 2 cents. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kyaw 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 how about a Sennheiser HD25-1? but they are overpriced imo. I had read from elsewhere that they sound similar to Grado, with good clarity and dynamic. They are closed headphones, a good alternative to IEMs. ah ha, I found a similar question in head-fi: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.p...ht=HD25-1+grado Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radioactive28 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 thanks for the recommendations. and i forgot to mention my 300 bucks budget. which the imported er4s seems to fit. i'm still very much looking at headphones though. kyaw, i read that the hd25 seems to lack detail. but never know till i've tried =P i think i've shortlisted the following based purely on description: sony v6, hd280pro, (more?) seems like they could all do with amping.

kyaw 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2007 for daily commute I will compromise and don't expect to hear much details, BTW, I have a ER4S collecting dust not in used, you interested? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fizban 0 Report post Posted January 16, 2007 Actually many have associated the new v-moda vibes with a mini portable grados. It's canal earbuds like the sony types so it's really comfortable, yet its sound is WAY beyond sony's. Pretty bang for buck at $179. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
radioactive28 0 Report post Posted January 18, 2007 Thanks for the various recommendations =) I'm trying to get away from IEMs to try out a better head-stage. Otherwise, I'd have gone straight for the ER4s. Fizban, you tried the Vibes yet? I haven't had a chance, but there's quite a bit of love in the Head-Fi thread. It apparently has a leakage port to chill the bass a little, but makes it unsuitable for commute. Counting down one week to pay day =D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Fizban 0 Report post Posted January 26, 2007 Oh yeah i own the gunmetal one. I love it so much...it is replacing even my e5cs. Pls do urself a favour and get them. Just about nothing portable ever sounded as exciting or fun. BUT...it seems epicentre, where i got it, have run out of stock. Do check with the staff then it's arriving again.
