Fair enough. I'll stay out of this, but you very well know what is going to happen...

You have HD650's what more could you want?

Originally posted by Jbroad572 Well, I've been thinking about rs-1's, ms-2's, cd3k's (again), and dt880's but I was thinking would it be better to buy 2 seperate phones like the Ety 4p/s and another $100-$125 can, instead? What are your opinions? I keep hearing all these good things about the ety's, but I've only used an e2 and can't get past that impression of canal phones. It seems like they could be a great option to just get away from the world and relax. I did like the isolation of canalphones though. For the other cans I don't know yet, a500, k501, cd780, sr225, or the dt880's if I wait awhile???

Ety ER4 is essential! Get one or TWO, but do not go without.

Jbroad,

You already have the HD650, so we are not talking about a total lack of quality phones. Why don't you just get the Etys for now? That way you can save some money. You could just the Etys for your portable rig and your computer. You will not be listening out of the iPod and the computer simultaneously anyways. The Etys are same enough to fit in your shirt pockets and thus, even if you bring your computer to school or the library, you could still carry the canalphones along with you.

That sounds good, but I know while I'm at the comouter, I wont always want use canal phones. Thats why I wanted a regular headphone as well.

 

[wallijonn]

then get a $100 to $150 computer headphone. CD3000's would be overkill.

While using your computer at home, you could listen out of the HD 650. On the other hand, if you do plan on listenig out of your computer away from home (assuming no pimeta) and don't want canalphones, you could get a cheaper pair of headphones such as the Grado SR60, Sennheiser HD497.

If I'm not wrong the HD497's drivers could be detached for compact carrying. This way you don't have to worry about breaking an expensive pair of phones while lugging your bagpack or computer bag around.

I haven't had a chance to listen to the 497 or SR60 though. But comments about these phones have been very favorable.

The funny thing is, I actually saw a Black NSX going home from wal-mart today...it was weird seeing one, but cool nonetheless.

Sure but there are lots of occasions where it would make more sense to have a 5 Series AND an M3 then one Ferrari...

Or better yet, an E55 and a CL55. Now thats what Im talking about

Sorry, I'm partial to MB.

 

[Jasper994]

LOL, I don't blame, you, I like both, I just used the BMW's for my example since you can get the M3 as a stick or clutchless stick and get the 5 series in an automatic so you don't have to worry about shifting gears in the daily grind.

I could go with a CTS-V, the clutchless manual is nice, but I just love the CTS...and one with 400BHP??...hell yeah
