I just got my Iriver Clix 4gb in the mail, and turns out the bundled phones are so crap I threw them away after 2minutes of use. Now I need to find some replacement.
I'm planning to use the headphones unamped from the source to sort of maintain the portability of the matchbox sized player. I already own a pair of Eggo Pro's and Etymotics ER6i, but I'm not all too happy with them. The former lack in the bass and high sections, but mid is sort of acceptable, the later have good sound but my ears hurt after long use, even though I changed to the foam buds (but then I experienced a loss of quality).
I've been taking a peek at Grado SR-80s, Audio-Technica ATH-CM700ti and Sennheiser HD595 but I can't really decide and I know that my own knowledge of headphones is questionable. Any help choosing or ideas of other viable headphones within the same pricerange would be appreciated.
Just going to name a few bands that I like in case it may help you, help me
Tool, The Mars Volta, Herbie Han****, Kingston Wall, System of a Down, Muse.
If there's any more information you might need feel free to ask.
Thank you in advance,
