So I've been looking everywhere and I cant seem to find a general discussion about the "best" portable headphone/ iem that are actually reasonably priced. (If there is one I apologize)
For the most part I would be willing to look into anything, as long as its closed. (Over ear, on ear, in ear.) It would be for portable uses but also double as my main headphone. My music tastes are more or less everything.
Currently I've been looking at all of the following:
Over ear:
Denon D2000/ D5000
Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro
Shure srh 940
On ear:
Beyerdynamic DT 1350
Sennheiser HD 25-1 II
In ear:
Etymotic ER-4P (possibly with custom fit)
Westone AC2
Ultimate Ears UE 4
All would seem to work, it just comes down to my priorities of:
1. Sound Quality
2. Comfort
3. Durability/ Expected Lifespan
4. Portability (I've managed with my HD 280s for a few years now so thats not a huge issue)
Also any other opinions would be well valued. The price range is obviously not a strict rule, just a generalization.
