Criterias: Comfortable for hours of use Good isolation for a loud commute Durable for long term, ideally with a detachable cable Good for electronic music Price around $200 Not around the ear (not a high priority) I have the IE80s but they eventually broke. The bass was more than enough on...

Any recommendations for a $100ish amp for the HD 700 from a computer? I'll be mainly listening to electronic music. I saw a lot of WA3 recommendations but that is out of my budget for an amp.

I'm looking for a pair of closed headphones for the office for 5+ hrs of straight use. I do not plan on transporting them anywhere. I do not want my colleagues around me to be able to hear my music while it's in use. I mainly listen to EDM(Trance, House, Techno) without an amp straight into the...

R50s or the EPH-100's. 

I have nothing but positive remarks about the IE80's. I dont know if you can find them for $300 though

Quote: No no it's fine. I appreciate your recommendation. Any reason I should consider the TMA-1 or the AH-D1100's over the other 2? I like how the ATH-M50's sound but I'm a bit curious about the HD25-1. 

Quote: I probably should of mentioned IEM only. No headphones. I posted in the full ear subforum something similar but for my workplace. I was really considering the ATH-M50's or the HD25-1's. I'll have to look into the TMA-1's and AH-D1100s though. Thanks.

$200 budget Purely used for the commute (loud trains and such) Only used 3-4 hours a day Choice of Music: Electronic (Trance/House/Techno) I'd like something with a strong bass but I'd like the rest to be good too.  I have some Atrio MG7's and I don't like the mid/highs IEM only please. No...

I wonder if $250 is his absolute budget though. D2000's would be barely out of reach (unless he checks the FS subforum). Would there be a different option?

I've been STRONGLY considering the HD25-1's because of it's popularity of DJs. I'm looking for something to use at the office for EDM(House/Trance/Tech). They dont plan to be commute headphones but the durability of the HD25's is a bonus. For that price $200, is ther something more ideal? And is...

Will Audio Affair ship to the States?

I love my M2's. They were actually my "first" real IEMs. I really hate the stiff cable. It flares out and it gets quite annoying. I've been trying to find a better M2's. I agree on the low's though. I wanted something with great lows but the mid really shines more.

My shure e3c's would last maybe 5-10 months each. I would send them to repair and they would just send me a new one. I went through a couple and they were all bad before the year mark. I eventually tried out the Shure 215's and they lasted maybe 2 years at most. 

I can see what you guys are talking about regarding the clamp. It's not terrible but it's noticeable. The sweat is more noticeable though. Sucks you dont like yours. Sometimes I feel this pressure right above my ear.

I've heard nothing but great things about the D2000's

Hey everybody.    Closed (I dont want it to bleed to the point where my cube-mates can hear my music) $200 budget Mainly EDM music. (House/Trance/Techno) I'm using a Fiio E5 amp but I've been considering upgrading to something around the $100 range for amps It'll be connected to a...

Your best bet might be the warranty. I hope being in Canada isn't going to be a problem. It's still their product
