Hi all

I'm quite new to this forum, although I've been reading the topics here for quite some time. Then I wanted to get a pair of cans, and went through the Grados, Alessandros, some beyers, plenty of Senns and plenty more that I can't think of at the moment. Then last Saturday I got a pair of Denon AH-C700s, and am loving them!

But this being head-fi, I got bit by the impulse-purchase bug and now am looking for a complement to the Denons. I'm open to all types, except canalphones and buds. I'm leaning more to a pair of clip-ons now, although they are perhaps quite ugly...

I was looking at the Audio Technica ATH-EW9, partly due to its beautiful structure.

Budget is $150, music that I usually listen to is jazz, rock, classical, R&B and the occassional pop song.

Any recommendations are welcome, and wanted

Can't say I've listened to them, but from what I've heard the Koss KSC 75s could be something worth looking into and are way beneath your budget.

The 75s are a great set of cheap clip ons, but he'll get better sound out of something like a Grado SR60 or 80.

Hey thanks for the replies!

But honestly I didn't really like the SR60s, SR80s or Alessandro MS-1s. I went up all the way to an amped MSPro; now those I like. But I still find it hard to justify it at that price, me being new to this and all.

I was thinking of getting the 75s, but I reckon I'd only like them after I mod them, recable them etc.

Any other recommendations?
