I'm trying to find a good pair of headphones to use for school and home use mainly. This means I want a decent portable phone (that I can put around my neck or carry). My budget is around ~$100. I also live in Canada (Grado's are out of the option... the cheapest I can find is from Moon-Audio and SR80's are roughly the same price as MS-1s)
So, I have my eye on three phones:
1) The MS-1s
2) The D1001s
3) The ATH-ES7s
Four questions: how much do Grado's leak? Could someone give me a rough percentage for someone next to me?
Also, are the MS-1's/D1001s slim enough in profile to put around my neck or to carry around with me? What about the AD700 or the HARX700/900? Too big?
Next, I've found a couple pairs of ES7's on EBay within my price range. The only thing is they look fake. Could someone offer an opinion on this and this?
My last question would be should I just not bother with full sized cans at all and go the route of Earbuds/IEMs?
