which headphone is closer to the sound signature of the sennheiser hd 555?

how does the ck7 compare to the sennheiser hd 555?

in addition to my earlier questions, how would the audio technica ck7 compare to the iems already mentioned?

1) where can i get the im716 cheap? 2) can anyone else with the c551 share their thoughts (particularly on isolation)? 3) anyone have thoughts or anything about the c351 or j-jays? thanks.

yeah i was thinking of the x3i but the build quality sounds so horrible i want something i know will last. any other suggestions?

im looking for some cheap iems that have decent isolation. So far all ive come up with are the j-jays and the denon c351. What do you guys suggest? one other thing, how well do the denon 551's isolate? i was interested in them but apparently they dont isolate very well?

555's are awesome.

i guess he responded in time.

who was the winner?

it could be your x-fi causing the problems. there have been many documentated cases of x-fis making popping and cracking noises.

i really don't think you'll be able to hear the difference between the a900/700/500 playing games.

where can you buy the shirt clip separately?

do the d-jays sound similar at all to the 555/595? how about the se310?
