Thanks for the advice man, the SR60 sounds good but I'm really looking for a pair of headphones that are closed and give good sound isolation. The iGrado's seem pretty good for sound, but I'm not sure about the design...the clip part still sits on the ears right? so I dont see how it would...

They're a bit over my budget...and I would prefer it if they were closed as I intend on using it on the bus. Seems like the SQ5 is obvious choice by the look of things would love to know if anyone can confirm the sound quality though

Any verdict on how the SQ5 stacks up against the ES7 or the MS-1 guys? Quote: Originally Posted by 1Time Oh yes, welcome to Head-Fi (sorry about your wallet). Haha...I feel sorry for it myself...it's gonna get a lot lighter by the end of this

arrrgh...after looking around I'm starting to be tempted by the MS-1's since they're the same price point as the ES7...but I guess they won't be suited for my needs due to their open nature... ....and to think I started off the search with considering the HD201...the budget just keep rising...

Thanks man! It's information like these that really help with a purchase After some consideration I'm narrowing it down to the Audio Technica ATH-SQ5 and now, possibly the Audio Technica ATH-ES7. I've looked around on the forums and the net and opinions seem to differ, some say the ES7 is...

Really? I heard (heck that site I linked even says so) that they offer some isolation and are closed, which is why I was considering them...hmmm Thanks for the help though! Much appreciated

Hey dude, I'm from NZ too, happen to be looking for some headphones as well and I know how you feel about the price + availability in NZ I was looking at the ES7 as well earlier today, check out this site, around $170nz + free shipping You found any shops for headphones in NZ yet? Cuz...

Hi guys I'm a complete amateur when it comes to headphones so would love some advice from you guys I posted in the portable headphones subforum but it seems they're more interested in IEMs so I thought it'd probably be appropriate here . Situation: I need a pair of headphones for...

I saw someone recommend this site today, seems pretty reputable, they happen to be in Canada too, so check them out

No one? By the looks of things I'm posting in the wrong section? bumping this a bit....seems like everyone's more interested in IEM here...I guess I'll try my luck over at full-size subforum tomorrow...

Hi guys! Totally newb here so be easy on me. I'm looking to buy a pair of headphones for portability but wouldn't mind using them at home also. At the moment I'm using a Koss KSC75 with my iPod Classic 80gb, but would really like to replace them with something as the clips keep falling off...

hmm, might just be my bad luck with a bad quality one then...I've only had mine for around half a year and the clips are so loose they've almost always fallen off when I take then out of the bag (separate pocket too, not much tangling possible really) ah well, thanks so much for the help...

Hi guys I'm a totally noob here. Really enjoyed that review, I've had my KSC75's for a while now and although I'm not quite there yet in terms of my listening skills, I am quite pleased with the SQ (severe lack of bass). However, there are some minor (or not so for me) issues that really...
