It happened like this: I learned about headroom from a discussion forum about ipods. This led to the ER6/Total Airhead bundle. That led to reviews of the ER4, which led to head-fi, fixup, headwize, etc. So I now both the ER4P and the ER6 with the Total Airhead amp, and a META42 on order. Almost all my listening is "portable", either a laptop, ipod, or occasionaly, a portable CD player.
The question: If I want to add a set of cans that sound as good as the ER4P but are non-canal, what should I get? Money -is- important here, because I just don't have the $$ to spend the $269 of the 4P setup again, at least for a few months
, but I think I need some cans that are not quite as totally isolating as the etys and are simpler to take on/off in situations like an office. I am pleased, astounded, astonished with the ER4 sound, so what should I get in a non-canal phone that sounds similar? I would describe the ER4 as clear, neutral, detailed, excellent tight bass, although non-visceral, and that would be what I am looking for in a more converntional over-the-ear setup.
Suggestions?
