Have to take a bus to get to school for the first time... missing my bike, but trying not to annoy people, so I need some closed phones.

The only cans I've spent serious time with are my Sony CD-780's (running them now off of an av710, sweet!). They strike me as a little lacking in the bass dept., but otherwise very nice.

Can I replicate this quality with closed phones or earbuds? It seems like the Sharp MD-33 or A500 are two popular choices in the different categories.
I'd rather not spend more than $100, although if something goes for that used on ebay, that's fine too.

Other random concern: if the phones of freakin huge like my 1700earmuffs, or else really small, so I can wear a hat, that would be good, have heard it gets cold in Pittsburgh.

Took time to edit my sig and check more phones..... would the AKG 240S or 271 match the A500? They seem to be cheap on the bay, but sounds like I would need a new cable for them....

This is really terrible... paid for a pair of E3c's and I'm STILL thinking about picking up the 240s.

I think the fundamental issue here is really a shortage of ears.
