i got a little bit of a weird question.
I owned a pair of KSC75 and than - following your advice - i sort of upgraded to Yuin G2A.
So...as a huge fan of sound and as a hard working man i naturally wanted to try something new and test my hearing ability again by buying a better pair of clip-on phones (its should be clip on cause i use them while in the bus and in my way to work and such...and i really like clip on).
but than a question jumped to my mind: where is the end of all of this ? how "good" headphones can be ?
cause to be honest, i'm pretty fine with my G2A, but i want to find new phones, i'm very curious about how good can sound be...but what is the point when i can no longer get the sound better (or at least not something which is worthwhile).
 
So actually i got 2 question here.
The first is: which pair of clip on phones you would recommend for someone who want to get upgraded from is Yuin G2A ? (The budget is not specific...just recommend me about something that will be noticeably better then my Yuin G2A).
 
and i hope you understood what is my other question from the first part of the post.
 
And i'm really really really sorry for my poor english.
If you feel you didnt understood my qustions, please say and i will try to re-explain.
 
thanks.

In this case, I think IEM will be a significant improvement in terms of SQ since you use them on bus and on your way to work. IEMs provide isolations that can help you enjoy your phones better. I can never get decent quality from ksc75 ouside home due to noises.

You need to specify a budget, otherwise your bank account will be gang raped.

I think he wants it limited to clip-ons only (on-ears without headband). None of the expensive phones are like that anyway.
 
I know Audio Technica has some but I'm not sure if they'd be an improvement over the G2A.

haven't tried the G2's.  After reading some stuff on the forums I went straight from the KSC75 to Yuin G1A.
 
There IS an improvement between the KSC75 and G1A, but with some serious reservations: the boominess of the KSC75 lends to better low-volume listening, and unless you're at a moderate listening level the G1A just sounds anemic.  You can tell there's better lower-bass extension, and the whole range sounds more natural overall, but even when loud it pales in comparison to fullsize cans / closed portables at a similar price range.  When you're in a quiet area (office, etc) the G1's are a good choice as far as clipons go, but even there I've moved on to lightweight portables (Beyer T50P in my case) instead.
 
For a bus ride, you got so much background noise that I'm not sure you'll get much out of a new clipon (I definitely do not recommend the G1A in this case per my experience above).  Either stick with what you have, or invest in IEMs/closed portables.

Well, i never liked IEM's for some reason.
Maybe cause i never found IEM's which was actually comfortable.
And i don't know why, i got the feeling the it is much harder to get a good SQ with IEM's compared to on-ear phones because of the lack of space between the phones and the hearing area...making the sound less..."wide" i'd say.
am i wrong ?
btw, i forgot to mention that my main genre of music is death metal and i really like to ear the treble loud and clear.
So, what would you offer me ?
 
thanks for the helping guys !

If you ask alex@apuresound.com hey may recable the KSC-75's for you? I have a pair a few years old and they are still very cool. Have a 75 ohm resister installed too.

 

[Parkinson]

why would i want to recable my KSC75 ?

 

[BIG POPPA]

Dude, they are a whole different animal. Search a few threads? Ask Alex? If you are Conus I can lend them to you to get a good opinion of them?

im from israel
but thanks anyway.
i'd rather search for a new model...and im interested about what IEM's can offer.

 

[FirsToStrike]

IEMs can actually have a very wide and spacious sound.
I don't know how much further you can go with clip-on headphones, there are some comfortable lightweight portable headphones out there, which i am sure will give you a better sound than the G1A, for example the aforementioned T50P.

the RE0 looks very impressive, judging from the reviews.
What do you say ?
