Have you tried bending the headband to give you more pressure? I assume that it'd work the same as bending a Grado. When I had my Beyer, I did that to bring the music forward... my head is plenty big though.

Can someone with a nano and 701 please show me a picture of that setup. Maybe we can play a game of cups with the nano when you're done. Which cup in the nano in! Edit: Sorry for the bump.

Refurbs are cool (got mine last weekend).

I just picked up the Super.fi 5 EB on eBay new for $120 (with insurance)... You can also find it cheaper than that in the sale forums... Of course, I understand budgets, so maybe that is even too much; still, from what I've read, the EBs are probably the only IEM that is going to satisfy you...

I mainly just chose those 'phones based on bass and fun-factor. They probably aren't what you are looking for though. Or maybe they are...

I'm sure the other members will recommend that you use the search feature, but I've never really contributed (in other words, I don't really know): Beyerdynamic DT770 Ultimate Ears Super.fi EB These probably wont 'surround' you though...
