Yeah I agree on the clarity was quite surprised...this is a tough decision...

I just got a pair of E3c's..I loved my E2c's...thought maybe I'd go up a notch. I listened to a few tracks of Aerosmith (The Big Ones album). I have to say w/out doubt the 3c's are incredibly more clear in hearing all of the sound, however, in rapidlly switching back and forth, it seems...

I know everyone's ear's are different in terms of hearing..I love the sound of my E2C's..maybe cuz they are my first inner ear style headphones..But in any even tfor all the type of music I play (techno, hip hop, jazz, new age etc) they sound great to me..Not a huge fan of bass either...

Thanks a lot...tha's interesting....I had heard from one person that they had more bass..well that was before they were released..so supposed to have more.. Hm...what music are you listening too?

I own the E2C's, and like them ALOT..w/that said they were also my first canal earphone too...So I probably would have liked most anything for that matter. I DO like the foamies. So, what do people think of the E3C's compared to the E2C's I am curious how different they may feel and SOUND...

Hmmm....but so the cable will bend to the right or left behind my head, and then snake down my shoulder..I assume that's what you mean right? If so, that sounds promising. I am trying it right now..OR did you mean just put the cords behind your ears as normal, but then slide everying in the...

I have E2Cs, and I like them a lot, for me they are great. I like in ear isolation a lot. However, the one thing about the Shure's that gets on my nerves, is that when I travel in a plane and lean back, the cord is always getting tugged because it sit behind the head down your back...and it goes...

I'd like to know what people think about Ety's 6i cans. First off, where does the cord hang, in the back like the Shure's which is a bit annoying at times when sitting in an airplane for example. Or do they hang in front like most headphones? Second, how's the dynamic range? I liste to...

well my maid always knows her position..she works beneath me

I was only willing to spend so much on headphones/earbuds..$100 was my limit. Incidently Todd at Headroom said they are going to carry the Senns PX250 and PX200...said the PX250 was good.

thanks a lot people..I have been pouring through all the sits..and finally realized that after much reading...after a while certain comments are subjective and it's hard to pick the right phone to start with. I think I am going to try Shure's E2C from headroom.com They sound like a good...

OK...please give your input on these models I have decided to get one of them..Not sure which one to get..I have tons of reviews on this board. IpodLounge/Gear and MD bulletin board too. So if you could help me a bit..and lastly recommend a good place to buy them online that has a good return...

Could you let me know what you think of the PX250's I haven't determined yet if I am going to splurge for the Ety's yet..or just hang around the $65dollar mark for headphones..(see my other post if you care to) I wish I knew someone with Ety's so I could try them out...Everyone seems to...

I think I have finally narrowed it down to the above 3 phones..oops..and the Sens MX500. I just can't afford Etymotics..too expesnive at 300 bucks. Of the above listed including the Sens MX500.. I will be using these with my Nomad Zen mp3 player btw..working out..casual...

I am looking to buy/try some earbuds..Years ago I didn't think the models were that good..But now people seem to think they are better. I am going to use them w/my Zen. I want to know what place(s) have excellent return policy esp. web companies. Because no one sells ear buds like MX4-500's...

wowo. I would like something with good sound..that isn't too bassy

I would like to know what would be good earbuds...I am going to use my player while I work out.and thought earbuds would be best. Any input would be helpful.

I never thought my original post was going to generate and yield sucha diverse amount of information. I have to say thanks for all of you. I think I am going to get the Zen...however I am still wondering about some good portable headphones...I am posting over at head fi. I love this site.

Thanks

for now at least.

Thanks. I will

I am getting some Sen HD497s This is for listening to my MP3 player. But I was wondering what's available out there that is small, somewhere along the size of those old yellow Sony Sports Walkman style headphones. I prefer the vertical as opposed to behind the head. I have just not...

I am going to use these with either either an IPOD or Nomad ZEN By compact I mean something small like you would have seen with the old style of those YELLOW Sony Sport headphone..slim, and light. Anything out there now that is good? Thanks

Your response was exactly the type of response I do not need..Evidently you didn't read what I said. ' a cool piece of engineering" as you put it just does not really explain anything at all. Thanks but not thanks
