I'm looking for some closed head phones that offer good SQ, good isolation, sound good unamped and are somewhat portable. Currenly I own a pair of MS-1s that I love but am looking for something I can take with me when I travel (on planes or trains, etc...). I'd like to stay at $150, but if there's something that meets my requirements that's a bit more, I can most likely convince the wife....
I've tried a few different types of IEMs and have never been able to find ones that are anywhere near comfortable for me to wear for more than a few minutes so they are out.
From reading a bunch of threads on here these are some of the headphones I've seen mentioned that seem to meet my criteria (or at least most of them).
RP-21 (biggish)
A-700 or A-900 (seem to be too big...)
HD280 (not as nice sounding as some of the others)
HD25 (good overall, but hard to find and a little outside the budget)
D1000 (sound much better amped, biggish)
Can the RP-21s be worn around the neck without being too uncomfortable? Is there anything else I should be looking at?
Thanks in advance for the help.
