Gr, I hate making a new thread after just making one last week but circumstances have changed. I now have increased my budget to 250 dollars.
I made a previous thread that helped me determine the audio technica CK10 to be my best bet. The only problem is that the retailers selling it suck. A lot. Keenzo.com is going on the 3rd day w/o doing anything ( sent to warehouse ) so I am strongly considering canceling my order. I have decided to limit my search to only headphones that can be purchased with amazon prime on amazon. I wish I had the patience to wait over the weekend etc. but I just don't want to deal with it. Getting 1 day shipping for 4 dollars simply cannot be beat =).
What I found so far:
Shure E530 ( would have to be amazing for me to drop 280 on them but at least they're on amazon prime. The real issue is durability. )
Etymotic ER-4P (167 dollars is pretty good, generally well received, don't have durability issues )
Klipsch Custom-3(~165 dollars not the best reviews, some gripes about comfort etc. )
The last earphones I'm considering are pretty ridiculously expensive. At 330 dollars I'd expect aural sex essentially. I hear they have removable cords as well and with my recently expanded budget these are not SO far out of budget. They're an option but I'd like them to be a significant step up beyond the CK10 which currently are ALLEGEDLY being sold for ~220 on keenzo after shipping + tax. I'm interested in how they might feel but no one seems to complain about comfort so I suppose they'd be fine. http://www.amazon.com/Ultimate-Ears-...pr_product_top TF10.
I'm going to keep waiting for another day I guess and hope keenzo comes through. If they don't I hope to have some backups. Thoughts on these alternative headphones? Thanks!
PS: I like how I started my search considering headphones <100 dollars and ended up here =P.
