Quote: Is there another popular cited cable that won't require some handiwork with tools I probably won't have when I'm at school? lol    

I'd be far too scared to file down those pins and risk wasting the investment on the cables to go with those Westones otherwise I would... are there any other similar cables to it for a reasonable price? A specific reputable eBay seller or a cable you can find on eBay by name I should check out?

So while I'm very pleased with the sound of the headphones, I'm more irked with the stiffness of the "memory cable" that comes stock with it. I'm definitely looking for something with an L-connector because my iPod usually ends up in my pocket or on an armband but also something that's rather...

Quote: I don't really have the money for the TF10s so I think I'm sold on the ECCIs. The question is when I'll order them...   Oh by the way, just as a note for anyone who might not have known, the sellers from lendmeurears.com have an eBay store where they sell the ECCIs for the...

Quote: 75 bucks sounds like a good deal for that indeed. Thank you kindly...   A (more audio educated and fellow head-fier) friend also just recommended the triple fi 10s to me. How do those and these ECCIs compare in general sound, and value wise? I'm not sure how good a price I can...

Quote: A bit out of my price range and I've heard better things about the Sennheisers as opposed to the Monster headphones...

I'll be sure to look into those. Would finding a refurbished/used pair of Sennheiser IE 7s be worth it?

A friend of mine just recommended me these because they're cheap and he thought it might be what I'm looking for but I know next to nothing about them:   http://www.amazon.com/j-JAYS-Dynamic-Driver-Earphones-White/dp/B0016ZBF16   I'd imagine I'd like my CX-400s better and I'd like...

I'm looking for a pair of in-ear headphones (canalphones, IEMs, whatever they may be) that will give me a strong bass punch that's still pretty tight, and an overall clarity based a bit more in the high end rather than the midrange. I'm not using these for any sort of recording or mixing so a...
