I've been doing research for three days now and it's been more troubling than enlightening. I guess it's best if I just subject myself to some good advices of the experts here.
I'm looking for a nice portable headphone for on-the-go iPod use. Budge is 100 dollars, I know, sucks for being a student living in poverty. I'm looking for something that's not too heavy, comfortable with a relatively uncolored and neutral sound quality. I'm not huge on the bass, in fact, most of the things I listen to are on the softer side too (classical to rock, nothing too heavy). (I'm kind of picky on the comfort side though.)
I was quite pleased what everyone said about the Alessadro MS-1 and was thinking about getting that, but I'm a little worried with the leakage problem, especially since I wish to use them for subway/bus commutes and probably also for mid-noisy indoor settings. I guess my question is whether or not the leakage of the MS-1 will really impose a problem for this kind use. I was hoping that it wouldn't be much a problem because I don't tend to listen to really loud music, neither do I turn my volume up very high (for the benefit of my hearing, says the doctor). The other, not as concerning question is its cord length. Is it too long for portable use? I've never owned earphones/headphones with 2+ meters of cord length. *inexperienced*
Both supra-aural and circumaural headphones are great, if there are in fact any portable circumaurals.
Thanks for your time!
Hope I'm posting this in the right section.
