I know, I know... not another under 100 question... but I haven't been able to find any info that specifically relates to my questions/thoughts... and I hope this is the right place.
I currently own the Klipsch Image s4, because I had the s2's prior and loved them... very comfortable and small... when working overnights throwing freight they were great for hip-hop, that sort of thing... bass was clear, and the s4 is very similar in that regard. If I'm jamming out on Eminem these sound wonderful... and have their use.
Recently I was listening to Eddie Vedder's Ukulele songs with the s4's and it sounded pretty muddy... albeit I was listening through Amazon Prime Music... so maybe the quality wasn't there... but the clarity on the s4 really didn't come through.
Now I don't want to throw down serious money, the wife would kill me "another set of headphones? what for?"... and it's hard to explain that "some albums sound muddier using these"... so hopefully something very decent under 100 bucks.. maybe 50 on sale.. or less used...
Where should I start? Listening to softer stuff like Vedder, Jack Johnson, Norah Jones... that has good sound quality... sound stage I guess it's called? I'm not an audiophile at all... but I can tell when something doesn't quite sound right.
Hope that makes some sense.
Thanks,
Jeremy
