So, I purchased a pair of Ety HF5, and just like most IEM I just didn't find the too comfortable. So, I am back at it looking for something else. I like the idea of clip-ons but as I learned in a previous thread I am limited there in choice, and quality. So I have come to conclusion of taking a bit of size hit a go for compact/portable over the ear/on the ear cans, like the ES7.
I say that my budget is about $100, but willing to go up a bit if there is something worth it, & we all know the lower the better. I want something that could possibly best Sennheiser HD465, in pretty much all aspects, while being more compact. These can's are very comfortable I have fallen asleep with them on, so comfort while sleeping is a bonus.
I am seeing the ATH-ES7 is recommended a good amount, but is there anything else I should look at? I want something that is close to balanced as possible, while offering a reasonably wide(possibly better than my current phones) sound stage. I want to hear the bass but not really feel it, I want something that will help me get lost into the music. I play a wide range of music, except classical, and country to help you get an idea. I will be playing this out my notebook, and my next mp3, which most likely will be a Tegra powered(either the Zune HD or the Samsung M1). Thank you!
