Hi everyone! I'm reading this forum for some time, but this is my first post. I'm musician, playng electric guitar in progressive-rock/metal band. Here I'm looking for new on-ear headphones for my Cowon C2 player. I was using Phonak 122 for quite a while, but lost all suitable earbuds, and my Grado iGrado are open design - no sound isolation for public transport and street...looking for lively, engaging sound. Not a basshead at all, love fast, controlled and punchy bass. Currently I'm torned between Audio Technica ES700 and Beyerdynamic T51p... cannot listen for them before buying, so any advice from you would be nice.
I listen to many genres - jazz, smooth jazz, rock, progressive rock/metal, also some Irish folk, and acoustic.
