Sorry I didn't realize your location when I mentioned Amazon. They're a nice pair of headphones if you can get them for under $30US. Otherwise, I've read great things about the marshmallows, especially modded, around here. Since I'm unfamiliar with availability in Canada, I can't really make too...

I have the HTX7 and the Creative ep630 so not quite your situation, but the Panasonic's do sound better than the Creative's. To me, more comfortable too, but I don't really like in-ears. They are pretty sturdy and since the band is metal, not plastic, it may bend a bit but it's easy to get it...

Any more suggestions out there?

So after spending this afternoon researching, I think I'd go for the D1001 in the >$60 range. Are there any other suggestions under $60? It's going to be tough to make the D1001 happen so some other, cheaper ideas would be wonderful. The D777LP does look promising so I'll have to spend some more...

Hey, sorry for digging up an old thread, but how have these held up for these past few months? I've just seen some online and they look very interesting, exactly what I've been looking for. How do they sound and how comfortable are they? Since they're folding, do they seem pretty durable too...

Quote: Originally Posted by captian73 the smallest Circumaural's i have are the Sony MDR-D777LP. nice comfortable and they sound o.k. but no where near as good as some of the aforementioned headphones. Those look almost exactly what I'm searching for. I can definitely justify $45...

Yeah I'll definitely look into those incredibly inexpensive amps next.

You definitely may be right: I probably would be taking a risk with the D1001. Honestly, my biggest priority is comfort, so a soundstage and increased sound quality above the ep-630 would be fantastic, but I really just want some comfortable headphones to wear for several hours at a time. That's...

Moontan, or anyone else who has them both, could you please post a pic of the rx700/rx900 and the D1001 side by side? I would like to get an idea of the sizes of these two sub-$100 favorites. Thank you!

Well, it seems like I've already bought the larger than D1001 circumaural headphones. I'm really concerned with comfort which is why I aimed for circumaural instead of supraaural. So then does the D1001 fit right in between there? Small circumaural without being supra? If so, then I'll really...
