Quote:   I really appreciate your reply. I am really sorry I didn't notice the price of the HD-25s, thus would you be able to recommend a similar low-priced alternative to the HD-25s? I mostly listen to pop and rock.

Can anyone help me choose between those headphones please? I'm running out of time, will need to make a decision between those as soon as possible...   Thank you

Just a little bump to this thread...

Okay after doing some research, I have come down to these options: Sennheiser PX 200 PX 360 HD 239 HD 449 HD 25 I   I wasn't able to find that much of detail for some of them. Would you please help me choose between these for the best isolation and least/none sound leakage?  ...

I had some problems that I needed to sort out before buying the ESW9s, so I am going to buy them soon but I have a question: My main use is in the gym while exercising, is that of any harm to the ESW9s? If yes, then what would you recommend as a replacement to these? And how good is the...

  Quote:   May I remind you that all the Shure IEMs offer the best comfort, atleast in my opinion. They are way more comfortable to wear than a normal straight-down fit designed pair of IEMs while also offering superior isolation.

Quote: Are you sure you have got a good seal? And as mentioned in the reviews they are sensitive to insertion depth, therefore you shouldn't push them too far or not push them in much at all.  

Quote:   But unfortunately that one is out of my budget at the moment. I didn't find it anywhere for under £320...

Nice. Any other recommendations?
