Hi all!!
Right now I possess a wonderful system that I love a lot (Nad C-542, Rudistor Nx-01 and Proline 750).

I just nees some portable headphone, I already possess a pair of KSC-75 and I love them... i'm thinking about a pair of IGRADO or YUIN PK2.

There's only a pair of prerequisite: they must be FUN, GROVING, I want to twist and headbanging myself as when I had a pair of grado sr-80 with flat pads!!!! I also don't use any amplifier, but only an IPOD..!!

So what do you suggest?? I need only fun eheh ;D (Maybe another pair of sr-80 with flats??)

Price range?

I thought the superfi5.EB were fun while I had them, but in the end I found it tough to live with the bass emphasis.

I would stick with Grado. I haven't tried the flat pads myself, but I can't fault the bowls on my SR 225. By now I've heard a lot of different headphones plugged into my iPod, and so far nothing comes close to the performance and fun you can get from Grados.

I wouldn't consider the pk2's really fun sounding. I had them and mostly they where just detailed with not that much bass. The pk3 might be more fun sounding with more bass possibly. The es7's sounded great when I had them as well and a lot of people love them. I found them a little uncomfortable on my small head though.

I think sometimes with me, I enjoy cheaper fun headphones compared to my better ones just because I don't have to worry about messing them up, or blowing them. I like listening to trance and hip-hop semi loud so it's nice to have some cheaper headphones that are inexpensive to replace.

SR225 is da way to go if you consider them portable. As far as IEM's go, I really dunno much about them, haven't tried the >100$ range really.

I agree with the sr 225s. At its price point nothing can beat it in terms of "fun."

Grado comfort levels are anything but fun. =(

I find that after bending the headband like Grado suggested, it is very comfortable, IMO.

Super Fi 5 = FUN!
