BTW, I'm willing to spend more than $50 (M2 price in MP4nation)... 70-75$ is my limit... any suggestions ?

Yep. I'm also willing to buy some good condition used headphones, if that's generally a good idea :|

Quote: So what kind (and if you can specify models?) of headphones are not open to ALL (a little may be fine) outside noise, and won't annoy other people in the same room, while still being comfy ?

Yeah, but I wonder if anyone tried both and has some insight , M2 vs M3 ?

OK, and if there is medium-volume music from speakers in the same room, or people talking - I will here them loudly with open headphones ?

Thanks for the info..! I don't want headphones that will warm my ears.. any of those recommended here are warming the ear after a hour or two of use ? 

Thanks a lot on the info and great link to mp4nation! What about Brainwavz M3 ? Are they considerably better than the M2 ?  

Hi,   I'm looking for headphones I can use to listen to music (and maybe some limited gaming, mainly music) when I'm working on the PC.   I need comfortable headphones for a couple of hours of use each day. I also want them to sound good, of course. I'm a real newbie at this and never...

Hi,   Maybe this is a weird question. I don't know ViSang at all. I wanted to know how their R03 IEMs compare to a known IEM (for me at least) like the CX500 ? I also have a SoundMagic PL30 - how do they compare to them ?   I'm really not an audiophile, just looking to get good IEMs...
