Well I can´t decide on which to buy. I want to use them while ridding my bike and for running, so i don´t what to to pay the price of a couple of decend shure´s or etc. (they would easily cost 120$ (e2c) incl. tax and delivery)
Second i really don´t like the feel of in-ears.

I narrowed the list down to more or less these:

Akg k26p
Portapro
Ksc75, ksc35

here in Denmark (EU) they all cost mere or less the same, meaning 50$.

The souce is a beosound2 (well as a dane, I have to support our own company´s

)

Well what do you guys think?

Can't beat the porta-pros IMO

 

[fureshi]

ksc35 or ksc75. between the two, i'd pick the ksc35 as they have better mids and highs.

ATH-ES5 55EUR from bluetin.com or teamdigital.com.

I really like my AKG K26Ps but I would advocate them for riding or running. Air movement over the cups is very audible (especially with a good seal). I find anything about about a 5 mph wind to be distracting. YMMV of course......

For overall comfort, sound, and extreme value I'd go with the KSC-75s.

The AKGs won't be comfortable during exercise because the pleather will cause some sweating and hot ears.

Definitely NOT PortaPros for biking because of the terrible windnoise! That's the reason I've been searching for another pair. Tried the AKG 24s, but they're not much better wrt the windnoise and probably worse in other aspects (haven't done a direct comparison).

I havnt noticed much at all with my HD-497, but I only ran indoors as of late (oops, I mean like few months ago when I last hit the gym) so YMMV.

 

[rauer]

I wonder if the closed ones are in general as bad as open ones, better or worse with regard to windnoise? I was originally going to try the now notorious AKG 26s but wasn't able find them locally and found the 24s for 25 euros.

I think the KSC75 has massive bass though for such a little phone. I like em a lot but you can't go wrong with either one.

thanx for the reply´s, I think I am going with the ksc75, althoug they are the most expensive on my list.
And then lest see how they will cope with snow, rain, me falling down from wierd places and so on.

You might try the Kramer Mod to raise mids and highs towards "Gradoesque" kinda sound (works for mine). Downside would be the loss of lifetime warranty and increased suspectibility for (short) hair penetrating the pads and causing "ksssss" at low freqs.
