It's not that they are "good" or "accurate" phones...
They are just a lot of fun, and remind me of the Grado/Alessandro sound signature much more than the CX-300.

EP-630 is a decent pair of phones but bass is a bit exaggerated IMO.

I have them and they really aren't that great. They sound good for $20, but not much more.

OP: I would suggest ath-ck7 or mylarone X3. Don't get a v-moda vibe, cx300, or ep-630, those are all bass heavy headphones and don't have the best mids/highs.

Ultimate Ears super.fi 3 is in eu much expensive, 85 euros appr. 100 $

the akg k324 seems to be very neutral with a lot of bass, i think i'll get them

the ep630 seems to be harsh

I they're not that great, then I stand by my original suggestion...which is right in line with the $50 budget that the OP laid out: Koss PortaPro

porta pro is open!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i cant use open hp in bus/underground/....

a closed k26, px200, hq1700 is to noisy in outdoor use

Are you sure about this? If anything of all, EP-630 is considered to lack upper detail. How can it be harsh when there isn't much upper detail to speak of?

 

[Hemn]

i've read that the ep630 are harsh,
but if say they are not detail in the upper frq. > no ep630

the sound sig of the hd600 would be perfect, which one fit next?

 

[ClieOS]

Well, it seems you already make up your mind. Personally speaking, all sub$50 canalphones have quite apparent shortcoming on SQ. $50~$100 range are better and rather good for serious first time IEM user, and all the good stuff is (way) over $100.

Marshmellows aren't that good..

I'd get a X3 or PK3 or used er6i/sf3
