So, I wanted to find better than my trusty PX-100 portable headphones and took a chance on those ATH-ES7...
I am disappointed:
1) These are too small for my ears. These circumaural headphones are probably designed for people with small heads and ears.
2) They are not comfortable.
3) They don't sound any better than my PX-100 portable headphones.
Therefore, the hunt is still on for something that would surpass the PX-100.
Again, the requirements:
- Portable
- Reasonable quality
- To be used with an iPod exclusively
- Circumaural or supra-aural, open back or closed back
- Less than $150
Considering you can pick up the PX-100 for less than $35, I find them to be an incredibly difficult pair to beat.
This being said, between $35 and $150, I assume there should be something better.
