Hi there!
First I got to say... this is my first post here... hello there :)
A while ago (I think it was 2 years ago) I spent a lot of time in this forum reading and now I'm back and decided to start a threat to get some input for my new portable rig after my sansa clip broke some weeks ago. Westone 3s were the in-ears i used with it.
I'm mainly looking for a new source but maybe also new phones/amp.
Sooo... my criterias are as follows:
- will mainly be used for the gym... so should be quiet portable
- i prefer a very detailed sound and a rather flat frequency balance.... but if i had to choose i'd prefer a more warm/laid back sound than a too brilliant/harsh one
- musical preferences are mostly modern metal / core centered genres and some alternative rock... nearly always something involving guitars
- in ears or earbuds
- i haven't set myself a price limit... it should be reasonable... i don't want to add a lot of money to get a 1% increase in overall sound quality but should definitely be higher quality stuff
I already thought about getting a new sansa clip / clip+ but wanted to get some other recommendations... maybe something that is a step above the clip and maybe some advice on earbuds/in ears.
I also don't know if an amp is worth considering... the whole setup shouldn't be that heavy... don't want to lose my pants while working out ;) maybe if "sq gain per weight ratio" is high enough :)
I hope my english isn't too bad... I'm not a native speaker.
Thank you in advance for your suggestions!
Paul
