Quote:   I really appreciate your reply. I am really sorry I didn't notice the price of the HD-25s, thus would you be able to recommend a similar low-priced alternative to the HD-25s? I mostly listen to pop and rock.

Can anyone help me choose between those headphones please? I'm running out of time, will need to make a decision between those as soon as possible...   Thank you

Just a little bump to this thread...

Okay after doing some research, I have come down to these options: Sennheiser PX 200 PX 360 HD 239 HD 449 HD 25 I   I wasn't able to find that much of detail for some of them. Would you please help me choose between these for the best isolation and least/none sound leakage?  ...

Guys thanks but I'm not looking for IEMs, I'm looking for portable headphones like the XB500/700 but without sound leakage and urethane pads so my ears don't get sweaty.   I appreciate all of your thoughts Thanks alot

Quote: Still the same urethane pads which seems to get hot after 30 mins or so (as I read in reviews)

Quote: Okay so Sony MDR-XB700. Anything else that you think I should consider looking at as well? These headphones seem to be so big... Other than that if I want to get them I'm worried that after a while of wearing it will get my ears hot and sweaty because of the urethane pads.  ...

Anyone please?

Hi,   I am looking for a portable headphone for around £100 which doesn't leak sound and provides fair isolation. The sound signature I am looking for is spacious with deep bass, something like the sound coming from stereo speaker systems (I know I'm talking about something that is not...

  Quote:   I am not really looking for earphones because I do not like how they sound. Headphones are more spacious and more pleasing to listen to for me. So are there any portables that don't get hurt in the gym with fair isolation and no sound leakage?

I had some problems that I needed to sort out before buying the ESW9s, so I am going to buy them soon but I have a question: My main use is in the gym while exercising, is that of any harm to the ESW9s? If yes, then what would you recommend as a replacement to these? And how good is the...

  Quote:   May I remind you that all the Shure IEMs offer the best comfort, atleast in my opinion. They are way more comfortable to wear than a normal straight-down fit designed pair of IEMs while also offering superior isolation.

Quote: Are you sure you have got a good seal? And as mentioned in the reviews they are sensitive to insertion depth, therefore you shouldn't push them too far or not push them in much at all.  

Quote:   But unfortunately that one is out of my budget at the moment. I didn't find it anywhere for under £320...

Nice. Any other recommendations?

Quote: Thanks. Are the ESW9s portable? Because they look so big in pictures... Also please note that I am not going to amp these. Is that fine?

Hi,   I am looking for a portable headphone with these specifications, and I will appreciate any replies from anyone that is willing to help me find a suitable one that fits my needs: Deep, impactful bass Roomy/wide Doesn't leak sound Fair clarity in mids and highs Around £200 budget...

Did you get a "burn-in CD"? Because I bought brand new SE215s and never seen such thing in the package!?

Quote: Same!

I've recently bought myself a Razer Blackwidow Ultimate. Don't ask me why not das or anything else, I just like this more.

I currently use one of these:     The Razer "Naga", Molten...

Quote: Hi,   I think it would be alot more helpful if you described your tastes. For instance, I own the SE215s but the bass isn't really punchy. And I guess most hip-hop listeners need better bass than that... However, if you describe the type of sound you like I think people here...

What about Monster Turbine Pro Golds?

Quote: To be honest I used the "bass booster" option on iPod classic, but I preferred it without. But I was impressed with the bass on these when I used that EQ.

Quote: Yep. They are rubber, and I like the sensation of feeling them. It makes me and my ears happy :D I prefer it to silicone. The housings of this earphone is so small that you it gets into your ear itself too! Kind of gets lost in my ears :P   Quote: Cool, I think this...
