Hey guys,
I’m looking to purchase some headphones for my ipod mini. It looks like it will come down to the classic ety ER-4p vs Shure E5c. I listen to all sorts of music. However, my primary interest lies in dance music - Deep Dish, Sander Kleinenberg, Hybrid, and even stuff like Banco De Gaia. I am really big on clarity of sound and do not like muddy bass. I plan on primarily using the headphones without an amplifier. I will uses the phones in the gym when lifting weights, for running, on airplanes, at my desk at work and even when I’m walking any sort of distance (for example walking to a bar) as I can fit the mini and headphone easily in my pocket (talk about portable!).
I was planning to go with the 4p’s as people generally seem torn between both of these models and as such, the ety’s give the most bang for the buck. Now I’m considering trying to order both so that I can make a fair comparison. This will obviously involve some work (as far as burning both sets in). I’ve read a ton of stuff on the website here comparing the two but didn’t really get as much information on what styles of music most of the people who own either headphone listen to. I’m hoping people could give some information on how different artists sound on these headphone models.
So two final questions.
1)Could I order both pairs from Headphone.com to evaluate and return the pair I don’t like within 30 days? I might consider this if it is easy enough to do and won’t cost too much.
2)Will the Shure’s work well off of the signal an unamplified ipod produces?
Thanks for any help and I’ve really enjoyed finding this site and hearing from people who are into high quality sound as I am.
