I don't know about the synergy between the headphones and the amp and dac but the HE-400 was just discounted to $300

Any iem from me electronic is always a good choice in that price range. And there is one model that looks a lot like the metal skullcandys which look very cool. I also heard some Vmoda iems were on sale for 10 from 60. If you can find those I'd be all over them at that price

Daft Punk

If you could go further up I'd be all over these http://www.amazon.com/Westone-WST-WESTONE4-W4/dp/B004M4RTUY/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1373810630&sr=8-2&keywords=westone+3 I have only heard the westone 2 but the 2's were very close to the tf10 in terms of sound quality.     otherwise i...

wow with the er4 amazing  

SQ: ER4P>TF10>>>>E6i>>A151>Mee M9>s4(just dont like the sound sig its stuffy) Comfort:A151>E6i>ER4P>M9>S4>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>TF10 Build quality: ER4P(new but if the e6i is any indication)=E6i(still going strong after many years)=A151(1 year of extreme abuse finally took it...

tf10s wont stand up to the abuses for working out. and good luck keeping those behemoths in you ears during a workout. I couldnt.

I wouldnt go with the tf10 if your not going to take extreme care of it because although they seem strong there are so many places where these headphones can break. Id go with the gr07.

Quote: got the same thing for a similar problem im probably going to sell them though and buy the ety er4p

well I didnt specify because i really listen to everything except for country. my favorite artists just for examples are imagine dragons, hans, daft punk, armin van buuren (his techno classical intros are amazing), of mosters and men, and adele (especially the skyfall theme song).

Quote: Thanks for the reply your description was very helpful when reading reviews. I am actually getting the ue900 as a replacement for my broken tf10s but i had such a bad experience with build quality and customer service im not planning on buying from ue again. but the gr07, ba200...

Quote: dont give in i eventually convinced them to give me the ue900 for replacements just keep nagging them about them. just spew out some bs on how it really is unfair and theyll eventually give in

Quote: which headphones do you think match those characteristics?
