hey guys im looking for portable cans, i used to use IEMS but they keep breaking and my px100s have been going strong for about 2 years so i wanna just stick with something like px100s, perferebly something closed, and something 100-150 dollars and something that is comfortable

also, can anyone in the UK recommend any good headphone shops? i am visiting London, will be going to Piccadilly square and the surrounding area and any recommendations of headphones that i can buy in person there would be great

what about audio-technica ATH-ES7?

it may have the comfort issue, but you can search for the mod to solve it.

yeah i was looking at those too, they look damn nice

anyone know where i can get them in london tho? or how much they'll be?

panasonic rp-htx7's

i have them and they sound pretty impressive for a $40 dollar set

cable is just the right length. pretty good isolation. somewhat durable.

Koss Porta Pro

well since you've had senns before, the porta pro comes close to sound quality, with more bass though. still depends on your taste, mate.

Check out this thread by Skylab, its a review on some closed headphones less than $150. It helped me alot.

I am looking at the ES7's as well for an upgrade to my akg 26p for portable use. I have seen them on ebay/amazon for about $120.00. Seems there a lot of fakes circulating around though so ensure the return policy is good if you go that route.

why don't you buy from the reliable vendor such as audiocubes and bluetin?

Although it's a bit more expensive, you won't get the fake one for sure.

This is going to be a little obscure.

Sennheiser HD-25, British Airways edition. Yes, they are high impedance, but they sound great directly out of my x5l.

I have this, and the HD-25-1 II, and I give it the edge in sound quality, and in portability since it has a simpler headband and less moving parts.

Plus you can get them for about half the price of the HD-25 IIs.

I prefer these to my ER-4ps now, not because they sound better, but because I'm starting to experience pain when inserting the Etys, so they're pretty much over with for me.
