I had a pair of Creative Labs EP630i's until my son left them dangling from my computer chair and the cat chewed through the cords. Now Im on the lookout for another set.
I listen to a wide range of music. Rap, hip hop, R&B, oldies like the Beech Boys, Rock, Alternative rock. Im a car audiophile and spend a great deal of time working on car audio builds in my personal vehicle. I always build for SQ and go for a balanced stage where the lows, mids, and highs blend well with each other and none of the frequencies are overpowering. Its ok if the bass is a little over powering as long as the mids and highs arent colored.
Now here is where the trick comes in. Ive got a strict budget. I can only spend what I have in Paypal. Ive $40 to burn. I was contemplating between a set of the Sennheiser HD428, Sennheiser HD448, and the Shure SRH240. Those 3 models seem to be the closest to my price range. Previously Ive had ear buds, but Im looking more toward an over the ear setup this time, but Im not opposed to either. Im also not opposed to buying used, but I have a great deal of feedback as buyer, seller, and trader at various car audio forums so whoever I buy from would have to be willing to ship first if they have less feedback.
What other options in that price range do I have? And make a recommendation on which model would be best.
