I own Shure E3c IEMs and I am interested owning a full-sized can, and I'm not sure if I should buy the MS-1 or RP21. I've read the giant Equation Audio thread extensively and I've read through the MS-1 fan club thread as well, but I still have trouble figuring out which can is right for me. Isolation is no problem with me as I want headphones for home use and use my E3c outside the house.
What I don't want is sound leakage though, as I don't want to annoy my family with my strange musical tastes.
However, a little leakage is not a problem. So my question is: how do both headphones compare to one another, and also to my E3c. And, how much sound leakage do the MS-1s have? I listen to mostly hard rock and death metal, but also classical, some Electronica, a little rap, lots of podcasts and some other genres of music I can't think of right now.
BTW, I am leaning towards the Equations right now, as they don't leak much sound, and and I have heard that they sound quite nice with all kinds of different music.
Any input is appreaciated.
