I take the bus every morning and I need some headphones that will provide some isolation. I've had to resort to using iBuds even though they provide little isolation and the sound quality isn't all that great. I have KSC75s and enjoy their sound, but unfortunately they provide no isolation. My source is a first-generation iPod Nano unamped. I listen to mostly hip-hop, but I listen to just about every genre. I've done a lot of reading and this is what I'm thinking:
ATH-CK7: Do these provide enough isolation?
Metro.Fi 2: Again, enough isolation?
ER6i: These seem to have too little bass for hip-hop, but what if I boosted
the bass with iPod presets?
Super.fi 3: Seems good but are the other options better? Also some say it lacks bass.
d-Jays: A little out of my price range, but is the money worth it?
Super.fi 5eb: These seem to be an interesting choice since I am somewhat of a basshead, but they are out of my price range. However, would the extra money be worth it if I decided to get them? I've seen them go for a little over $100 on ebay and are currently $130 at CompUSA.
EP630/Marshmallows/KEB24: Cheaper solutions, but none of them seem to provide that much isolation. Also I haven't seen any posts about opinions on the KEB24.
If you have another suggestion feel free to say it.
Right now I'm leaning towards the Metro.fi 2, but I want to know what you think is best suited for my situation. Thanks for the input.
