Ok... so I am a big Classical /Alternative/Punk listener.

I am interested in spending no more than $65 street
I found the super.fi 3 clear for a lil above 60, which has me interested (esp the color).
Yuin could be it, but I cant find anywhere in the conus online...
Ety 6i's sound nice, but I would break them walking in the winter.
e2c's did not impress me at all and are too big for my ears.
Build on Mylarone's has me concerned.

The generic transducer IEMS are a big no, 630's and senns were not for me.

What I am interested in are: earbud style, IEM, and smaller clip-ons.
Detail and soundstaging are key (musician's curse!).

My budget is due to my Student situation and these would be used while walking to and from class in Chicago.

I already own marshmellows, 500's, + px200's (modded) for walking around.

Thanks a bunch everybody for pointing me in the right direction(s)!

Yeah... I like the 75's.... but looks are important to me in this instance...

I hate to sound vain, but they have to look like nice or normal headphones.
I am in a bit of a position where people can't really know that I am an audio or computer geek....

I am required to look very sophisticated, clean, and fashionable without exception... that shound explain enough about why...

I do love the 75's for long travel or when I wanna lay down/fall asleep with music through the dock of my DAP.

super fi with the fs mod is your bet. i love the etys too but the lower end models seems too fragile.
if u can somewhat push it to 100 usd, go withthe um1............very lowprofile. the only person who can tell ur listening to music is the person on ur side, not even the person sitting face to face with you can tell. theoretically, but u get the point
