Alright. I've decided that I need some new canalphones ASAP, and hence will not be waiting around for E5s. This leaves another question though: Should I blow what I've got ($140) on E3s, or should I buy E2s and a Chaintech AV-710? Right now I've got a Soundblaster AudioPCI OEM (model 5805), and I think it's safe to say it's the worst source on earth. But, I'm not too sure if I'll like the E2s. I've heard they can be muddy, and have a recessed midrange and high-end. That's sort of the antithesis of what I like in a headphone. The E3, on the other hand, supposedly has nice mids and highs, but is slightly weak in the bass. This, to me, is extremely preferable. Also, having a larger variety of tips to choose from is very, very attractive, since I'm really only looking at ear-canalphones for maximum isolation, and the E2s little silicon tips don't really look like they do too much. For a good indicator of the music I listen to, look to my Audioscrobbler, in my signature.
Thanks, all.
On a side note, if anyone thinks they know of a full-size headphone that would better suit me, and also leave enough room in the finances to get the Chaintech, please tell me. And if you do have a suggestion, please, keep in mind that it will be used portably and unamped. Thanks.
