Hi, I've been using the E2Cs for a while to listen to lossless files on an ipod. With a little EQ adjustment I like the tonal balance, but I've recently found that I can't wear in-ear 'phones without some discomfort, and I prefer a little interaction with my environment. Also, the top end of the E2C seems to be somewhat edgy.
I bought a pair of Sennheiser 218s, without hearing them, and what a disappointment, overly warm, stodgy and congested.
I would like a portable headphone, as much under £100 as possible, that has a similar tonal balance to the Shure E2C, but is not an in ear type, and preferably open backed.
What suggestions do you have?
My main head phones are Alessandros driven by a Meier Cantata headphone amp, and I do like that sound.

Introduction The easiest way to explain the Sennheiser CX-150's is that they do what you can reasonably expect. You can't really expect much from a pair of sub-50 dollar IEM's, and frankly, I...
