I splurged and ordered a 20GB iAudio X5 for myself which arrives later this week... and now I can't decide which headphones to get to go with it.
Originally I wanted a set of IEM's, just because I enjoy the isolation factor and I don't really want something that's not easily portable, as these are for around campus stuff. So I had set on either the Sharp MD33's or [more likely, as the price was better] the Panasonic HJE50's.
But then I read that IEM's are easily damaged if you sweat in them, and given that I live in Arizona and I'm outside on campus, that means I'm going to sweat. So I started looking at the Koss KSC75's, as they are a GREAT value and produce sound that rivals most cans.
Can you Head-Fi'ers help me resolve my decision? Music choice is hardcore / metal, no amp for the phones.
