Hold on. It only costs $50 USD for the audiologist fees to get ear impressions made at your home. You should not have to pay more than $50 USD as is stated on the Ultimate Ears website. Please duly note this correction. Thank you very much. |
Ah, okay, so it is the same as the Sensaphonics then. I thought Ultimate Ears included the impression process in their price and Sensaphonics didn't. Turns out neither did. So it's all the same.

since i'm not getting anywhere with this, let's try this: The most powerful headphones period
again when i say powerful i mean good sound quality portability and isolation/noice cancelling
within 300-400 dollars |
You're contradicting yourself with this request. If you're talking about the most powerful headphone in that price range, they're usually not concerned with isolation nor noise cancellation. Those headphones are meant to be used in a home environment, where isolation and noise cancellation is usually not a problem.
Closed headphones at that price range all offer some isolation, but nowhere near the isolation of any canalphones. There are no good noise cancellation headphones, period, in terms of sound quality. Sound quality on noise cancellation headphones is generally okay, but unacceptible for the price (because the noise cancellation circuitry cost a pretty penny or two), and good noise cancellation is hard to come by. Noise cancellation doesn't do half decent job at creating true isolation that any of the canalphones are capable of.
When it comes down to it, if you want the most powerful headphone in that range that offers isolation within your budget... Shure E5c is it.. there's really no other choice whatsoever.
If you're willing to give up isolation, portability, and size, there's plent of full size headphone in that price range that's very good. Not to mention there won't be anything that's truly "portable" either.
