Hi all, hopefully someone can assist with this request. As a long time audiophile, I have only recently got back into portable music players. My last portable used tapes.
Anyway, having recently purchased a Sansa Fuze and the required components to build a Mini3 amp, I need to assess headphones.
My original thought (and still quite likely) is to get a pair of Portapros. I had a pair of Koss Pro4AA's some time ago and remember being impressed by both sound and build quality.
However, I do travel a lot (often by air) and thought something with a little more isolation might be beneficial. Especially as far as other passengers are concerned. But, this is where it gets difficult. Due to the shape of my ears, I cannot use buds. They just keep falling out. Also ear clips are not going to be much help as I wear glasses and dont fancy having 2 clips behind each ear.
Sooooooo. Does anyone know of IEM's that are available with a headband (not neckband please) and offer decent sound quality. I am looking in the $50 -$75 range but may stretch if something exceptional is available.
Or should I just stick with the Portapros and turn the volume down when flying?
