Hey,guys. I'm sad to say that I'm out of headphones and I'm still saving up for an upgrade to my home speakers because my VSX-30 feels too good for the cheap stuff. First, my ATH-M50s tip broke off some time ago, but they have gotten so loose from being in boxes over the last year or so that it's not my priority to figure out how to fix them.
I have a pair of Klipsch S4 somewhere I can't find. I have some of those Monoprice earphones, but the cord is always tangling and the design is frustrating.
When my Sansa Clip started getting loose on the stereo connection, I had nothing good on hand to fix it and ended up messing it up (nevermind). I later realized that my beloved S5i were actually the problem. I should have known because the tip kept getting stuck and detaching in the ports.
So, guys, I'm out of anything to use worthwhile. I'm gonna get my favorite Clip+ if I find a good price.
I don't know what to describe as my sound preference and I honestly listen to everything. I might just use this for working out and I'll get full-size later this winter because I'm starting night shift being nocturnal and have to not wake anyone in my apartment while I watch movies on my computer.
I want something rugged like those beautiful S5i. I want to workout by clipping a Rockboxed Clip+ to my tank top and wrap this cord around my neck to not have it dangling. Hey, well, it's how I roll
I would probably be happy with anything new to try. I don't know if earphones ever have open designs, but I might consider it. I listen to electronic, rap, hip-hop, and pop. Other stuff,too, but the four above is most of it.
Let me know if you have suggestions. Thanks in advance. I hope I gave enough info (and not way too much background).
Edit: As always, my price range is flexible. I don't mind getting a low price with value, but I'm always happy when I go a bit over what I expected to budget. Since I'm planning on full-size headphones and/or new speakers, I probably want to keep this in a comfortable budget similar to what my others have been. I definitely don't want to go over $200 but not under $50. If the sound benefit is little compared to rather spending more on headphones, please keep this in mind. In other words, these might be my main thing for music, but I don't want to spend an extra $20 if the benefit is small compared to if I used that towards my other headphone budget.
Actually, what if I combine the budgets? Though, I'd be more worried if these broke, but I want rugged ones.
If you think the benefit becomes a better value per dollar. If you convince me, I will combine the budgets. If I ever get around to getting speakers this year, however, I already have them picked out and I cannot ween from this (I might not even get any, because I have other priorities).
