Klipsch S4's are very very comfortable

Id rather spend $300 on a pair of headphones than on a pair of Oakleys lol

I had the S4's and they have some big time bass, but the highs can get harsh and the mids are lacking.   I recently upgraded to the MTPG's and they sound much better. Based on that i would look into the regular Monster Turbines.

S4's have huge bass. Just as much as my Monster Turbine Pro Golds. Not as tight but the quantity is there. Also take a look at the regular Monster Turbines.

Quote: Yeah id be down with that. Im was only a frosh this year so ill be there. And if you like speakers, I have a older Paradigm monitor 5.1 setup now, but im thinking about selling it to upgrade to a pair of Paradigm Studio 20's which sound amazing (At least they do to me) lol.. Than...

Maybe look into the Monster Turbines. I have the Pro Golds but i hear the regular turbines are still very good.   As far as your criteria goes i think they should give you:   - Great isolation (At least the Pro's do) - Great Bass - Good detail and imaging - Under $100 - Un-amped...

Quote: Yeah we can definitely meet up sometime next year. I was only a frosh this year. If your into speakers too we can listen to my Paradigm stuff. Ive got a older 5.1 monitor setup now, but i think i might be selling it for a pair of Paradigm Studio 20's which sound/look amazing (at...

The $30 sony's(not sure of the model) have good bass, but are pretty cheaply made. Try to convince her to step up to to the S4's (Very comfortable and tons of bass after they break in) or the RE0 or the Monster Turbines. All should give her the bass she wants

I just got the Monster Turbine Pro Golds and i think they would be perfect for you. Great deep bass, but doesnt overpower the music. Highs are slightly recessed, but for a headphone i think thats a positive. Should tone down the "intensity" you had with your previous IEM's. They have a great...

None of my friends care much about headphones. That and they cant afford nice gear. Im probably gonna give my S4's to my little brother when i get my Turbine Pro Golds. Maybe he'll get hooked and start buying nicer headphones.

I demoed my brothers skullcandys and they were really bad. Way to much emphasis on the bottom end. They didnt even play the highs either.   I would go for the Turbines or S4's for bass. I had the S4's and they had tons of bass. I just ordered the Monster Turbine Pro Golds which should be...

Just decided to order a pair of Monster Turbine Gold's. Felt like i valued the greater bass over the accuracy of the headphone. MD was a little bit of a reach as the lowest i could find them was around $400. I got the Gold's for $230 Open Box, but from B&H with a full manufacturer warranty.  ...

I will either go with the IE8's or the Monster turbine Pro Copper/Gold/MD.   I think i might buy the IE8's at the apple store and give them a little test run. If i like them then i will get a pair on the internet. If not, I will get a pair of Turbine Pro's and see if they're any better.  ...

I would love to, but i actually left for home today. Maybe next year!

Ok so my Klipsch S4's broke on me. Something wrong with the wire im not really sure. Im have a warranty so im gonna get a new pair and either sell them or give them to my GF. Now ive decided i want to upgrade. I liked the S4's, but i want to see what else is out there for ~$300 Some things i...
