I really hate to be "that guy", but, to be honest, I spent countless hours researching my full-size headphones (Alessandro MS-1) and I'd like to make purchasing my second pair as painless as possible. I'm trying to save my wallet a little stress, so my limit is $80 this time.
Here's my list:
Source: iPod Touch 2g unamped (might get a Fiio in the future), and very rarely a Sansa e280
Types of music: Rock, post-rock, hardcore, doom metal, hip-hop, punk, folk
Mainly used for: School, walking around, possibly in bed whilst reading
I don't really know anything about IEM's, and I was pretty set in getting some SCL4's just because they were so heavily discounted... But they seem to be out of stock everywhere. So my main contenders are:
-Shure SCL3
-Apple in-ear
-Etymotic ER-6i
-Nuforce NE-8
-Probably many more that I have forgotten.
I like a fairly balanced and detailed sound, but I do like to get my bass out now and then. Up to this point I've only used Apple earbuds, and to be honest I'm a bit hesitant about the whole "over-the-ear" thing because I think it looks pretty dorky (how shallow am I?)
Cheers in advance.
