Firstly, I'm a huge fan of EX1000, and been using it for couple years. I've owned several IEM before from TF10, westone 3, to XBA 4, but EX1000 fits me the most. I love the clarity, and the openness of Sony's dynamic driver.   Considering that fact, is upgrading to XBA H3 is a good move?  ...

Let me explain this quick, I've owned a triple-fi, an upgrade from my westone 2. Overall, I'm quite happy with the sound signature of tf10.    I have plan to upgrade my tf10 to sony xba-4, i've tested this earphone at store, but I can't say much since I listened to that only for less than 5...

Quote: the srh440 is vey natural sounding cans, but the soundstage isn't that wide (CMIIW). I want a more wide open soundstage headphone, has good high, and enough bass (not overpowering the song). portability would be a bonus.  

Currently, I own shure srh4400, and want to upgrade. is it denon ah-d1100 a decent upgrade? how would you compare these 2 headphones?    my budget is around $150-$250 maybe any other alternatives? I'm not a basshead, listening to some alternative, jazz, blues, and pop-rock (no hip hop and...
