Hi everyone!
 
Sadly my CX300-II in-ears broke after 5 years of use. I was very satisfied with them, but now I would like to try out portable headphones instead of in-ears.
 
I have an ATH-AD700 at home and all I can say about them that they were worth every penny (and they cost me $150 at the time, not even near the low US price).
I've searched high and low on these forums and couldn't figure out what to get, mainly because the prices in my country are so different than in the US. For example the well known ATH-M50 costs $185 here.
 
We have pretty normal prices on AKGs, Sennheisers, Sony, Philips I think.
 
I've been looking at these:
- AKG K518
- Koss PortaPro
- ATH-M30 (again, it costs $80 here)
 
I will be using them while traveling around the city.
 
My smartphone will be my main player, it can drive my ATH-AD700s, I dunno how high I can go in impedance.
 
Thank you!
