Listen mainly to rock, prog, folk, blues country, fusion. Like a presentation that has excitement, but also not fatiguing.
I had some IE8s a while ago, I thought they were good once EQd, but the isolation wasn't great, and overall I feel they were good but I expected more for the money. Had some SRH-840s which I really enjoyed, but they're too big.
The use case is something that can fit in a rucksack (and leave space for books ), preferably at the budget end (although I might stretch for the right thing), to listen to music whilst studying in a library or travelling. Isolation is important (believe it or not it's a library where talking is allowed) both to block out external noise, and to protect others from Tales From Topographic Oceans or whatever.
Originally I was considering IEMs, but I've been using the $7 in-ears from DealExtreme recently (great for the price, no worries about losing them), and it's ever so annoying that the tips go missing. I know on better IEMs the tips will be more secure but still... So looking for headphones, closed-back, lightweight and portable.
Any clues?
