Basically, it needs to be waterproof, have good sound quality (preferably bass-centric), and light/ergonomic. My budget is around $100, but I can stretch if there's a good warranty/it's really durable.

I feel like closed, circum-aural headphones would be best, because my house is very loud, so I need as much isolation as possible. I need something neutral and revealing, but I also have a conflict of interests in my being a basshead - the Denon AH-C300s were barely satisfying. In that respect...

My library comes from a . . . variety of sources, but even though most of them have the same general bitrate, some songs seem shrouded. I like it when I can almost feel my speaker/headphones vibrating (in an epic, satisfying way, not "it's too loud and about to break"), but some of my songs...

I'm going to be buying a pair of Denon AH-C300 IEMs, and I'm going to be listening to them with my iPod Touch 5th Gen, (and occasionally my Macbook 7, 1). Should I buy the Fiio e5 to go along with it? Or will it be fine as is? (I don't want to spend any more than 20-25 bucks, and if you suggest...

And please don't suggest anything else unless its available in future shop or best buy in Calgary.

Which has better overall sound quality, bass, and durability (for sleeping-mainly asking about the x7i's) Thanks

I get the feeling that the c300s have more bass, but whose mids and highs are better?

I don't like shipping things unless its my final desicion - future shop is near my house. Also, it needs to have ipod controls (volume and play/pause fwd/rwnd

While I'm saving up for more expensive headphones, I'm sick of the standard apple headphones that I have currently so I want to get some relatively cheap IEM's in the meanwhile (the X7i is on sale for $130 in future shop). So, could I get an unbiased comparison between the two? I'm looking for...

Could somebody please compare the transparency/clarity, bass (quantity and quality), comfort, and durability between the westone um1 and shure se215, and the denon ah-c300 and sony xba4ip. (Also some opinions on the klipsch image s4i rugged and the denon ah-c560. (I mean could you compare them...

Quote: Do you have anything to say about the other headphones that I was thinking of?

Quote: What do you mean? (I don't know any terms aside from the ones in the introductory glossary) In terms of sound, I'm looking for something transparent, bassy and easy to listen to for a long time.

I'm looking for a good pair of IEMs that are under $200 ($210 at most). I listen to everything, but mainly electronic (rave, dubstep etc.) I'm upgrading from a pair of Monster Jamz which have broken on me 3 times. I mainly listen to music on my iPod touch 5th gen. The headphones must:  Be...

I'm planning to buy a Sony XBA-4iP, but I've heard that it only shows its true colours with an amp. I'm looking for something extremely cheap, focused on bass, and as small as possible. I'm not looking for very much quality, so long as it pumps up the bass and mids a bit. Please help.

Do the C300s have a forward and rewind function (for apple)?
