Hi! After literally reading over 50 pages of posts in the past week I've decided to join and I need your help. I'm looking for a pair of headphones for my ipod. I listen to: Dance (DJ Tiesto, Darude), Rock (Billy Talent, Alexisonfire, Metallica), Hip Hop (50 Cent, Jay-Z, T.I) and also Jazz (Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong).
First of all I would like something that would be a significant improvement over my 2006 iBuds. I guess with these genres I'd like to have a nice thumping bass without sacrificing quality. I would also like some isolation because I commute on a train daily but I would prefer to have a little noise coming in so I can tell if someone is trying to talk to me.
Sadly I am limited to the following headphones due to my location (Toronto Canada) and I only buy in-store products. In no particular order:
Sennheiser CX300 $75 (Overwhelming bass, loss of qualtiy on the upper end?)
Shure SE110 $89 (Little bass)
Shure SE210 $149 (Little Bass)
Etymotic ER6i $119 (NO bass ?)
Ultimate Ears Super.Fi 3 Studio $119 (Stick out from ears)
Bose IE Triport $99 (Mixed reviews, tips fall off?)
Can anyone with experience tell me more about these products and maybe decide which one will suit me the best? Right now I'm leaning toward the Bose IE because apparently there is a huge difference between a brand new pair (which reviews are based on) and a burnt in pair. Again, these are the only headphones available to me.
