Is any of the Klipsch phones a good alternative?

They have both the S4 and X5 for sale for a fantastic price where i live.

I'd suggest the Audio Technica CKS-70 as a cheaper alternative? If you read some of the thread here's about them, they seem to be a 'poor man's' IE8 so to speak haha. (Poor by head-fi standards I guess...)

For your genres: Cyclone PR2, awesome bass and good soundstage, only about $80, read here and here.

Have you considered the Head-Direct RE0?

Here's a review

And here's another

They do not have the best bass, but with a decent amp, the bass really comes out well.

Klipsch Custom 3 are very good (punchy, detailed and bassy) for these genres specialy Rock and Pop.

Hi guys,

I am new to the forum so: Hello All

I have a question: I am using the Nokia N900 as my only mp3 player. Do u guys think the Sennheiser IE8 is kindda overkill for this phone, or is it worth the money even for this phone? Currently I use the UE metrofi 220. I also was checking out the Ultimate Ears 700
Thanks and the forum is awesome
