Hi!
 
I´m looking for a pair of phones for my iphone.
I listen mostly at jazz, acoustic music and some rock
I´m looking for a open natural/slightly warm sound with good midrange at first
 
Miles davis, Pat metheny, norah jones, daughtry, bryan adams...
What can you recommend in the pricerange of 150-180$
 
I´m curious on:
 
Q-jays
Fischer BDA-02 (maybe to bright for me?!?)
Ultimate ears 700
 
 
 
 
Is it worth the money to climb a notch to:
 
Westone 2
Westone UM2
 
 
Do you have other suggestions?

Sleek SA6 would fit the bill.  Open, natural, and warm (deep insertion rather than shallow) are characteristics I would use to describe them, and they fit below your budget if you don't mind grabbing a used pair.

 

[lalle81]

do they have clear sound with good treble to?

Also consider Triple.Fi 10, RE0, Monster Turbine Pro Copper or MD Tribute, and RE252.

 

[lalle81]

Thanx!
 
Will look into them!

Monster turbine pro copper seems very interesting!
Where can I find them to best price?
 
Is it safe to buy them used on amazon? Read some about copies that´s on ebay ans so on...
 
Just saw on ebay, Miles Davis tribute for $199, can it be originals or fake?!?

Hmm... someone's selling the Ortofon EQ-7 for $225 in the sales forum. If you can get a deal with the Ortofon EQ-5 , i'd get that instead.As I've heard that they don't roll off too much as its older  brother , EQ-7. But that's only what I've read , I've only had the EQ-5's and not the EQ-7's so I'm really not sure if they really are that similar. But in my experience, I enjoyed the EQ-5 with almost anything especially with acoustic/acoustic instrumentals as that's one of the main genres that I listen to.

Coppers are all around awesome.
I think some people got the best price from giving onecall a call.  Ask in the MTPC thread.

Imo the MTPG/MDs do a lot better for the type of music mentioned while the MTPC coppers fare better with faster electronic music.

I was looking for IEMs with the exact same characteristics you want and narrowed it down to the Monster Turbine Pro Golds, IE7, and Klipsch Custom 3's. I ended up going with the IE7 and am very happy with how they pair with my jazz/acoustic library. They're warm/natural and have a great midrange.

True, Coppers do well with electronic, but I prefer my TF10 for that more.

Acoustic and jazz? Get the Ortofons if you can afford them. Don't know about the e-Q5 but the e-Q7 sounded best with this type of music.

 

[yello131]

e-Q5 is an excellent option and it is about 100 $ less then its elder brother e-Q7
 
 P.S.Query Dimitri at MusicaAcoustics for headfi members' Special rate.. (if it is still available)

 

[lalle81]

I didn´t like the design on the eq5 and eq7..
 
I´m really into the MTPC and MTMD but don´t which one is best for me?!?

 

[lalle81]

Does anyone know where I can find used MTPC or MD from a store that ships worldwide??
 
Don´t want to buy from ebay or amazon if they´re fake.
