100+ Head-Fier
I'm looking for suggestions of headphones in the range of $100 or less that would be most suitable for listening to vocal jazz and chamber music on portable digital audio players.
TIA.
TIA.

Re: the Alessandro MS-1: reading through the threads on this forum related to this headphone I got the sense that its fan are predominantly people who listen to rock, metal, etc., and thus I am concerned that it might not be right for the kind of music I tend to listen to. |

If the answer is yes to either of these things, that will seriously impact the recommendations people can give you. |
