After discovering this forum and reading thread after thread, I'm in the market for a pair of headphones generally for travel (on the tube) to upgrade from my 7 year old MDR-EX70LPs. I don't want in ear phones but I'd like something that's fairly discrete (doesn't stick out from the side of my head too much) but also comfortable, has fairly good isolation and can be driven by a Sansa Clip.
I'm currently deciding between the Audio Technica ES7s and the Sony MDR-V6(or MDR 7506) as my budget is around £80-£100. I would be open to suggestions about other models though.
I was just wondering what peoples opinions are on them are. I know there are many posts about each one but I can't seem to find any on a comparison. I mainly listen to what comes under the umbrella of rock music but do listen to other genres on occasion.
How does the sound quality compare between the two? I've read the ES7s are top notch but I'm concerned about them sticking out loads and clamping my head too much! With the Sonys it's the opposite, I think they'll be comfortable and look OK but how does the sound compare the the ES7s?
Any help or suggestions would be much appreciated, thanks!!
