Hey everyone!
I'm in the market for a new pair of 'phones to be used with my iRiver H340 (Rockbox... rocks
). I've been using a pair of Sony MDR-EX71's for the past year or so, and its time for something better. I'm on my 2nd pair of these things, and they both started to fall apart after a few months of use, not to mention the fact that these things have a 12" cord which is WAY too short, and a 4' extension which makes it WAY too long. The stupid extension connector always gets caught on things too. OH! And the "around the neck" design drives me nuts.
Anyways.
I'm thinking a pair of IEM's would be perfect, but everytime I find a pair that might do the trick I can always seem to find plenty of negative reviews on it. I'm looking for something under $150, with a max of $170, but i'd rather stay away from spending that much for now. I'd also consider some closed headphones but I have yet to find a pair that wouldnt look stupid being worn at school and such. I used to use some Senn HD570's, but sold them because they were so huge and leaked too much sound (yes, I know they're open).
So can anyone reccommend me some IEM's or another viable alternative? I was thinking originally the E2c's but there are some pretty negative things about them around.. also considering the ER-6i's, but I really have no idea which way to go.
Thanks for any help you can give!
