Hi all, After a year enjoying my HD-25's on the move, I'd really like to find some comparable IEM's for when the HD-25's aren't convenient enough. I've previously had E2C's which I liked, which where replaced under warrenty by Shure for SE110's. I found the SE110's to be inferior though...

Well I first started to consider a decent pair of headphone whilst flipping through What HiFi and seeing the Grado SR-60's which are available for £60 - £70 here on the web. I'm wondering if its best to try not to cover all bases with one pair? I am limited with budget now due to the premium...

Hi All! I've currently got a pair of E2C's which I use with my 2nd Gen 8 gb Nano and a pair of Sennheiser HD447 that I occasionally use when I dont want to use in-ear buds (I work in radio production at the BBC so try to keep in-ear usage low as I dont want to damage my hearing). The HD447's...
