thanks everyone. spinali- how is isolation with ES7? does it suit portable needs?

thanks guys, you really helped me build up some self confidence about the headphones. i think i'll buy it + a creative EP630 when i need a lot of isolation. Lefty - i wish i could buy the ESW9s, but it's way out of my budget.

Hi fellow head-fi'ers, not so long ago i bought myself a pair of IEMs - the Etymotic ER-6i. i couldn't get a comfort seal, i messed with the things for over 2 weeks and it wasn't even near comfortable. i tried everything, and now i know i'm not a IEM person. so i though i might want to look for...

How much does a Darth Beyer cost?

Well depends on your needs.. I say a decent DAP first, like an iAudio 7.

Thanks you very much for the heads up Jo Vo, I will insure my phones when I buy 'em. But the wuestion is, how? Can i choose insured shipping?

I might want to buy the Yuin PK3.. couple of questions: 1. I understood that the cable is J cord, but I've heard that they have changed it to Y cord. Is it true? I really dislike J cords.. 2. I listen to Hip Hop & Rap music(bassy) and I wanted to know if the pk3's bass would satisfy me...

Thanks for the great help everyone, after some thinking I'm buying the JBL Reference 220, they fit my requirements the best.

Too bad I guess I forgot to say that I need a pair of earphones that can be found at stores.

Thanks for the great tips everyone. Yesterday I've found out that one of my friends has a Super. fi 3 Studio, so he let me try it, and it sounds great, but personally I do not like the over the ear design and the fit. I would still like to have some personal opinions about the following...
