My wife wants my ESW9's

[Sinsen]

Ever since I got my ESW9's, my wife keeps asking me to buy her a pair.

She likes her ES7's, but she seems to have caught a bit of my headphone addiction.

Anyway, this puts me in a quite nice position, as I can now justify buying yet another pair of phones for myself, and giver her my ESW9's.

I really enjoy my pair, but can anyone reccomend some other same-size, closed, portable phones that could be better?

Edit: I also have a pair of Sennheiser 25's, that I enjoy, but when I do not need the extra isolation, i use my ESW9's.

Except for the Ultimate Ear 11 Pro no I can't suggest a thing.

Hehe, allright... iem's don't work for me while walking around.

I suspect that this may become a growing problem as more people get them. Not only do they sound good, they are really very attractive. My headphones have never attracted interest at work before, well, except as a reason for co-workers to tease me. Now, they all want to listen.

So, now what? The end has been reached, and I need to buy better cables and amps?

For your wife?

Well, yes, she is eyeing my Headsix... but, seriously, I saw this as a nice chance to upgrade my portable phones... are there really no new better cans to try out?

Time to order yourself a Pico I guess. Let her have the Headsix.

To answer your question, no I can't think of any that have this form factor.

Too bad.

I won't buy a new portable amp until I see Meiers successor for the Move though.
