H8 could be a nice choice, they provide a really good sound. But yeah, they're rather expensive and I'm not if it's possible to find for $200 as you want. I can recommend BackBeat Pro 2, they cost a bit more than you want (almost $250) but for such price have really nice quality. Besides as I...

I just finished Bill Bryson's "A walk in the woods", his account of walking the appalacian trail. This is a pretty great book, and one of Bryson's best. This inspired me to go on my walking holiday, which I had recently. My current book is "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind", by Chuck Barris...

Can anyone do a comparison of the kz zst and the lz A2S?

BeyerDynamic DT880 w/ Cardas Upgrade = Clean, Clear & Open Koss KSC35 = ridiculous value for the money Sennhieser HD565 = more congested than the top of the line Senns, but still have the Senn flavour... Grado RS1 = The shock of the pack, now i've heard the coloration, I just can't get it out of...
