I am writing a book about filmmaking with HDSLR cameras and could use some help from the hive mind here at Head-fi. The book's target audience is photographer filmmakers who like their toys, I mean tools. Now that DSLR cameras shoot HD video, a lot of them are working in motion. In the audio section, I would like to list top three choices in compact phones, full size mid priced phones, and a money is no object phones. Photographers and videographers often travel and have a lot of down time to listen to music so I'm really looking for a dual purpose solution that sounds good listening un-amped on an iPod and monitoring audio recording on location plugged into a video camera or external recorder.
The criteria is:
Closed style - less noise leakage back to microphone
Portability - folding is a plus
Accurate reproduction and shouldn't color the sound too much
Does well un-amped for music from ipod
I'm trying to narrow my list down and want to make sure that I'm not missing anything. I won't be able to listen to them all but I can probably arrange for the top six once a consensus is achieved. This means I'm going to have to rely on the experience of forum members to pare this list down. I appreciate the help and will post an excerpt in the forum when the book is finished.
