PS. Found one guy who sells his Westone UM2 but im not sure are they in good shape and they wouldn't be an option if they break easily as i sleep listening to music and doing so i demolished few phones.

Im tired of google, what say you ill pick them.

What's your budget?

CX 95 or C751 (though the C751 would be uncomfortable to sleep in). Don't know about the Philips.

I would put the durability of the Westone's up against anything on your list. What makes you think they "break easily"?

i agree. i do abuse my westones and they take it. anyway, why are you limited living in Croatia. this is 2009 and you're on the internet. surely someone will ship to you!

From what i gather on this site many iem heads use the UM2 for sleeping alot and are comfortable

, however until you give use some numbers to work with we have no idea of knowing what kind of budget your working with.

I kind of feel the Denon is unbeatable at low volume levels. They're built well but are physical large (long), so sleeping isn't something you'd do with them. Flopping around on them, they'd be as durable as most others though.

From the list, either the UM1s or C551s. Ditto on the sleeping problem with 751s.

 

[Aevum]

the C751 seem like the logical choice if you dont want to buy 2nd hand, the UM2 recives alot of praise in this board and support from westone, so it would depend on if the warranty is still valid,

personaly, the C751 and the UM2 would be my choice, maybe the CX95 or the Philips She9850 if those first two were not of your liking or you' re unsure about getting a pair of second hand phones,

 

[praetor47]

I pretty much concur with the majority that the C751 are the logical choice.

but there's one tiny little... "thing":
in croatia their price is roughly 250$

so, to the OP: get some means to buy on the 'net (its easy, trust me I know) 'cause it's way cheaper and probably more reliable than buying in our "dearly beloved" country

 

[mvw2]

Ebay: $105 US + USPS shipping international. Just talk to the seller about international shipments and rates.

Bought Westone UM2. Delighted with comfort (i have small ears), on first glance they seemed fragile, especially cable(s) but actually they're not some cheap ass chinese plastic... so like that as well. Sound is quite refreshing for my ears as i used some ****ty Philips and decent Senn but uncomfy (earbuds).

Thanks a bunch.

PS. Do i want an amp? *grinz*
