Ok, i've been through about 10 pairs of earphones now, please can someone help!
I listen to a lot of progressive house / trance with some occasional radio music
I currently own a pair of Sony MDR-EX300 earphones (about $100 or something)
Pros:
They have the right amount of bass (a bit bass heavy, but I like that, sounds a bit more "clubby")
Lightweight
Really comfortable for my ears
Cons:
Not that great audio quality
Bad isolation
When the wind hits them, i can't hear anything
I want a pair of earphones that have excellent sound quality, excellent isolation / wind resistance and still give plenty of low bass
I bought a pair of beats audio earphones that the sound quality was terrible and interestingly didn't have enough low end bass (also, were quite uncomfortable and fell out half the time)
They cost $230, so I took them back
I then just bought a pair of Sony XBA-4iP earphones, which have excellent sound isolation, are crystal clear and are comfortable however, sound a bit metallic and don't have enough bass punch for my liking.
These cost me $400 down from $500 (have a 20% off sale atm) however i'm going to take them back also.
A bit of ignorance on my half, thinking that having a woofer and subwoofer drivers would give them bass, however, they sound more like reference earphones, and I want them to sound good with a bit of color.
Any recommendations? (price is not really an issue if the quality is there)
