Ok thanks for the replies so far!
I know this forum and audiophiles in general are not fond of Bose. The only reason I'm considering Bose is because I will be moving to residence in my first year and there is a good chance that my rommates in the apartment will be wild party animals. I still don't know if the Bose will help but given how effective it was when I tried it out at a store it was awesome.
As for spending more than 250 on earphones...I don't know. I mean, given their size, and how thin their cables are (well when you compare them to cables of over/on-ear headphones), it just seems like a risk. I mean anything might happen and boom 300-400 is gone. I would end up worrying about the headphones rather than enjoying them.
As for the
tpeos 200, I can't find it on amazon.
I bought a Shure SRH840 last year and it was HORRIBLE. Sure the sound might be good and what not for someone who just started to look into good headphones, but damn those things would make my ears hot and would make me have a headache after just 15 mins or so. I ended up selling them because comfort matters to me more. What's the use of good sound if the headphones aren't comfortable at all?
