I placed my order for my Rio Karma already, which it was between the HFI 650 Trackmasters + Corda HA-1 vs Rio Karma and other things, for Christmas.
So, now I have about $100-$150 to spend on headphones and just miss out on the Trackmasters.
I'm also thinking perhaps they're not the best thing to compliment a portable with.
Perhaps something open would go better?
I use Vorbis files (and intend to use them on the Karma) with quality 8 VBR's.
I listen to largely rock-based music but also listen to other styles which include horns and occasionally piano.
I'm not a bass head but would enjoy good frequency extension.
Ideally something that's driven efficiently without an amp and is relatively neutral.
Once again, an early thanks. this forum has provided me with a plethora of information.
edit: ideally a good soundstage too.
