looking for canalphones with a short cable

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

hey, it's been many year's since I've been on this site and I hope it is as good a resource as it was before.

 

So the Headphones that came with my sony MW-600 bluetooth have bitten the dust. http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/products/accessories/phpfeaturesspecs/mw600?cc=gb&lc=en#view=overview

 

It's not a big deal as they were super craptacular and I'm looking for an upgrade anyway.

 

what I'm looking for:

 

1. under $100 retail

2. have a short cord ( i'll normally have the mw-600 somewhere near my collar as it also acts as my mike)

3.preferably pretty durable

 

I"m not totally against cutting a cable but would prefer to avoid it.

 

Thanks in advance for your suggestions.

Check out Joker's thread, it tells you how long the cables are.  I don't think you're gonna find any in your price range that have a really short cable though.  The only one that I can think of right now is the new Sony flagship, the EX-1000, which comes with two cables, but that's a little bit way out of your price range. :P

best bet is with the japanese brands, and of older models, i remember my denon c551 canalphones were short cable and would under ur budget as well.

thanks for your responses guys. I'm not adverse to spending more money. I only question whether the benefits of a high end bud would be lost, as I intend to use it through a sony mw600 bluetooth setup.  what do you think

 

apparently the shure se line has short cables and an adaptor.
