5 days ago my JVC street-style headphone broke.
So I started to do research to get a new one. And thank god for internet - I'm finally here!
Been doing a lot of surfing in the forums to get an understanding of the names of the 'goodies'. Seems like you guys/gals are very much in favour of Etymotic products, which of course is a good thing. I called up many hi-fi stores (I'm from Sydney, Australia) to enquire about Etymotic and the response have been pretty much unanimous: "Et-what?!"
Anyway, the concept of forking out so much moolah for a set of headphone is foreign to me. I believe that I can go as far as the Ety-ER6. Either that or [groan] Sony-EX70. My main source is a MD player: Sony-MZR900. Don't have an amp by the way (what the heck is Porta Corda?)
Ok I have to pose a main question (to avoid having my thread moved to the OT section): Is the EX70 THAT bad?
