so here's the basic deal. i need a new set of headphones for listening to my CD player and iPod. to be honest, i'm not too picky with sound - the quality of the iPod's earbuds are mostly fine for me (at a low volume level, at least) except for a few things: i would like punchier bass (but not something bassy), more resolution, better soundstage, and greater noise isolation. i did a little research and asked around and found what seem to be two suitable solutions, the ety er-4p's and senn hd280 pro's. it seems that the ety's would sound beautiful, but i would prefer to spend only $100 on headphones since my budget is $200 and i want to spend the remaining $100 on new CD's. i am also very apprehensive about getting IEM's since they are a hassle to put in/take out and i would rather not deal with the microphonic effects or put in major effort just to get them comfortable. this leads me to the senn's, which seem like a great option but i am a little concerned that the bass won't be punchy enough. lastly, i don't want to worry about an amp, mostly because i don't want to spend an extra $100 for one.
thanks for reading that. i posted this same thing about a week ago but now i have a budget and priorities. i would just like some input regarding my situation - i.e. do you think i would be happy with the senn's, should i be considering anything else, etc. any facts, opinions, suggestions, or experiences are extremely helpful.
