Hey folks,
So I've got a pair of Sony MDR-7506s and a pair of V-Moda Vibes. I love the sound on the MDR-7506s, the V-Moda Vibes not so much. They're just a bit muddy, especially in the bass department. Also, the most frustrating part of it all is the fact that they don't isolate worth a damn.
And since I'm always riding the NYC and NJ subways, this can be a real pain in the ass. It's pretty damn hard to hear anything over the rumble of the subway, the buzz of the crowd, and the roar of traffic.
Even the Sony MDR-7506s don't isolate that well, and they're brutally hot in the summer.
So can anyone suggest some good IEMs with great, clear bass, clean highs, and very, very good isolation? I've heard the Atrio M5s are really good for this. I'd like to avoid spending more than $200, preferably about $150.
