*Sigh*

Well I found this site, and now I think Im addicted to phones, and DAP's, My Poor Wallet

Anyways, I just bought a pair of Koss "The Plug" Which so far I like because they provide isolation, pretty good sound(At least to me, Im only an audiophile in training

), and are portable. But I still want more(My new motto is "You can never have too much audio equipment!) OK, so Im thinking I want a pair of big headphones( I saw some Sennheiser HD 570's<I think>, those are the type Im talking about) and Im also looking at either the Ety ER-6's, or the Shure E2C. Could one of you people help guide me

Do not get the HD570's unless you really like them, they are far to bright to be good, the HD590's are way less bright, I'd suggest getting those instead, although the HD580's are better, they aren't in any way portable, the Audio-Technica ATH-A500's are good also, but are only avaliable from Audiocubes

if you get the er6 or any shure, you'll just wish for the ER4... so just save money and time and get yourself the ER4 (P, S, both sound great)

Don't get the 570s if you can help it: they really are very bright. And if you do get the er-6/shures, you'll keep on asking yourself how much the er-4s really are. Believe me, the er-4s are worth it over the 6s.

HI: I suggest the E2c fore portable and the grado SR-225 fore main rig.

I would skip the HD570 unless you can get one for really cheap.

Seems like a lot of people are finding the E2c convenient to take on and off. Get the E2c if you want something portable and convenient.

If you want sound quality and sound isolation, go for the ER-4P. The ER-4P will work well with most portables.

have you checked out: http://headwize2.powerpill.org/proje...=cmoy4_prj.htm
?

As far as ER6 or the Shure, you could just jump to the ER4P/S. You'll just get there in a couple of months anyhow...

terribly sorry, I edited the post but it doesn't appear on the forum header unfortunately(as per most vBulletin sites)

As for why I want the E2C's or ER6's, I havent a job at all right now, so getting $$$ is difficult. If I can get a steady job relatively soon my options will open up, because my videogame obsession isn't demanding as much right now

At the very least it is my b-day tomorrow, so I might be getting some more cash soon

Like most here, start small, get what you can afford at the time, and be looking out for your next affordable purchase. The Ety ER6's have received very good reviews, and will serve you well until you choose to get the ER4.

As to big cans that sound good for cheap: try the Sony MDR-V6. Incredible bass that goes very low and sounds very good for their $70 price tag. They can be a bit harsh in the high-end when teamed to the wrong source, but they sound great otherwise.

I vote for saving up for the ER-4. If your money is really tight, you can snag a new pair of eBay for around $220 any time.
