So, I'm looking for new phones to use portably with my Cowon iAudio 7 and at home, with my MacBook Pro and an Opera.

I would like them to be as small as possible, since I'll be using them out a lot.

Thanks!

ATH-ES7? Not small, but portable

HD25. They are pretty small.

Hmmmm... I think the ATHs are a little big.

Now, which HD-25 model should I look into?

The ATH-ES7's are not big at all. I have a pair and they are really a nice set of cans. The earcups are not as large as a tennis ball (diameter) and not more than an inch thick. They also fold flat like a Grado. The sound out of these cans is really sweet and they are really nice looking. Can't go wrong with these. I also think they are smaller than the HP-25's I looked at.

Has anyone directly compared the two?

RP-21s too big for you? (they're in my avatar pic)

that skylab comparison thread that was bumped yesterday includes a group shot of all three headphones mentioned above. The ES7 is definitely the smallest, and the RP-21 the largest.
