HD201s vs HD202s vs Apple Inear vs Portapros vs Other
I listen to mainly classical, rock and hiphop/rap. I don't want to spend more than 50 dollars on a headphone/IEM. I also prefer sound isolating/cancelling ones. Right now i am looking at the HD201's since they are so cheap but how does the sound compare to the portapros or the apple inear, which i have owned. And what is better the HD201s or the HD202s? or do you have other suggestions?

Nuforce Ne-7m iems isolate (they go in your ear) and have great sound for like $40.

also adding Koss KSC75s on.... and do they sound exactly the same as the porta pros??? i don't like the fact that its not sound isolating/cancelling either.... also trying to keep the budget under 20....

Have you ever heard apple' in ear? And I'm talking about the 2 driver 2008 model? They sound way better than the 201! Nice balanced sound, AKG like bass (very detailed, fast, but not in your face or overly loud). Clear mids en sweet highs. Comfort isn't the best however.
If you're a basshead then these in inears won't be your first choice, but neither will the HD201...
As I've never heard the 202 of Koss, I won't comment on those.
