I formerly posted this in the 'Help finding headphones...' thread but it didn't get me anywhere, regardless this is more of a full setup, please read and give some advice or redirect me to where this should go:
"Hi guys, I'm back here looking for a good portable set-up under £140 using existing equipment and whatever you guys suggest. This setup will be primarily used for jazz 90% of the time (FLAC files, I'm not interested in converting my entire library to 320kbps mp3). So I was wondering if I could get some advice:
What I own now: iPhone, Sennheiser CX400-ii (too bassy for me), FiiO E7, E5, and L9.
I can get a Sansa Clip 8gb for £30 or a 2gb for £23, I can buy a 32gb microSD for £28 or carry multiple 16gb microSDs which will cost me £9 each. I estimate I'll need at least 24gb of space but preferably more so I'm leaning towards the 16gb cards, anybody have experience carrying multiple?
Anyway, onto the headphone options atm: Shure SE215 (£76), Sennheiser IE6 (£68), HifiMan RE0 (£52), Shure S4 (£25) or Sony MDREX510PLB (£47).
I will also consider in future pairing a set of Senn HD25s, Audio Technica Pro700MK2s or Denon AHNC800s with the setup.
So, I apologise for the long rambling post, but what are your opinions? Thanks in advance."
Since writing that I've also started considering the Westone UM1 (£88) and the Fischer Audio DBA-02 and FA-977.
