I wasnt particularly happy about the kind of isolation IEMs gave me because even though they got their job done for blocking the outside noise i could hear every footstep while walking. This and the under water kind of feeling when having them in were quite annoying.
I dont see anyone even mention ATH m50s or Ultrasones so i guess its not the way to go for mids?
List narrows down to ESW9/10, SRH840, K271mk2, GMP 8.35 and HD 25-1 II
As for now Im leaning towards ESW9. Maybe its worth the hassle of trading a bit of isolation for better sound quality. Is soundstage and detail on ESW9 significantly better than on HD 25-1? Is any of You using ESW9 for commuting and if yes with what results? After all they were not made for home use i guess and also provide much better isolation than px100 or porta pro kind of things.
GMP 8.35 looks interesting too. I havent read any negative opinions about them. But then again there's not many people who heard them or compared them to other headphones as well...
