Upgrading from Maximo IM-490s to a set that includes an inline mic for use with my IPhone 3GS
Not looking to break the bank on this set but I would like a better overall pair than my Maximo's. I tend to listen mostly to podcasts on the go but end up listening to music later in the evenings, mostly Rock/Alternative but I branch out sometimes. At home I own a pair of ATH-AD700s and really enjoy their sound, I found the Maximo's to be a bit heavy on the low end but overall enjoyable enough when listening to music and enough isolation to hear well over traffic.
biggest considerations
- fit
- natural isolation
- comfort
- more balanced sound than the IM-490s
- a convenient method of storage on person (IM-490s had a nice pouch that fit well in pocket)
- would not like to spend more than $60 high value is a must
Thanks for reading and I hope to hear from you all.
