Moving From K701 to in-ear, what should I get??

[gabes]

I'm moving over to the Uk for two years & I'll need something portable as a replacement. I've been listening to my K701 + Aria Corda setup for quiet a few years now.

I'm looking at getting a pair of in-earphones, probably straight out from a iphone 3G or from a notebook with no amp.

I might go for one of the following in the next few days
UM2, UE5Pro, UE10, SE530.
(I'll try them all out for comfort and sound...if only I had all day)


Please feel free to comment, regarding their sound signature, sound stage...etc. Will the UE10 or SE530 be over kill for such a basic setup?
By the way the only thing I found lacking with the K701 was the bass department.

Cheers,
Gabriel

As I understand it the K701 is very much so a detail oriented headphone. If you like the detailed nature I think your primary considerations should be the Sleek SA6 or Triple.Fi 10 Pro.

If you want to go with customs look at the Livewires or SuperFreq offerings.

I vote for the ER4.p/s
