Intresting. Can you tell us what full-size headphones have you heard and does the HD580/600 count as reasonably-priced?
BTW someone mentioned the AKG K44. That's a very good headphone for the price, but not portable really. It's unlistenable to me without EQing the bass down though.
I got mine at Guitar Center 6 months ago when it was on sale for $30. That thing has some good mids. Out of the box the bass is a bit bloated.
Right now my favorite unamped portable is the KRK KNS-6400. I'm still looking for something that doesn't fall off my head when I do the bench press during exercise.
Kind of annoying lifting tons of weight over your head and then realizing your headphone is nearly falling onto the floor.

84! not far away from 100.
Joker, Now I have to ask, can the PFR-V1 can be considered portable? I'd love to see it ranked in your shootout.
It fits my criteria with its portable-length cable but it is in no way portable. It leaks worse than a Grado and isolates less, doesn't cope with any headbanging, and requires an amplifier. Also, I feel like a damn teletubby when I'm wearing it.
hey, just wondering why you didnt include the jvc ha-rx 700's in the list. you mentioned them during your M-Audio Studiophile Q40 review, but there wasnt a seperate place for them. also the rx-500s, just wondering if you heard them and if so what you thought about them, thanks!
Sounds like a summary of faults lol. is the sound any good? Ive seen them going for 120 - 150$
and only review I could read was in headfonia ... and it was confusing.
Hi, I wanted to ask a few questions about a budget clip-on phone that I intend to buy for exercise and portable use. I was thinking of settling for the Sony MDR-Q68 over the Koss KSC75 for several reasons. They are closed, have an analytical sound which I like, and seem to be comfortable and extremely portable with the retractable cable. However, I still am unsure about a few things in comparison with the Koss.
1. Do the KSC75 just utterly outclass this clip-on in SQ no matter how you look at it? I actually think I prefer the sound signature described by the Sony but if it is clearly inferior, I will settle for the Koss.
2. Does the closed nature of the Sony mean significantly less sound leakage than the open Koss? I am not asking for isolation here, just the amount of sound that others can hear.
3. Is the EQ on the iaudio7 and a rockboxed Clip+ sufficient to round out the sound of the Sony?
Thank you ljokerl for your superb thread that has helped me come to this decision. If you or anyone else could help shine light on this subject, I would most greatly appreciate it.
Hi all!
posted a separate thread on portable cans for my needs but did not get many answers so I'm trying here.
I'm looking for good isolating and portable cans. I'll mostly use them in metro and planes with my iphone. Music styles are rock, electro and jazz.
I just purchased Etymotic iem (hf3) but I really think iems are not right for me (really uncomfortable!).
In your review I'm interested by the sony MDR-Z700 which I tried in a sony store and would like some help to compare them with ATH SJ55 and Marshall Majors. Again isolation is important to me.
Thanks a lot!
