Hi everyone,
I am looking for the perfect phone for my iPod. I have been reading reviews for a few weeks, did find some insightful infos on your forum, but I am still being confused by contradictory comments.
My listening tastes include mostly metal bands but I am also listening to other kind of music quite often, such as classical, pop, pop rock, punk, electronic and blues. I am looking for a device which would allow me for great comfort when walking or when using for several hours. Also, I live in France and I am willing to put up to 200-300 euros in the phone (that is like up to 200 USD when including currency fees, shipping and customs).
The two phones which I am currently looking for are the Ety ER4P and the Shure E3C. I have read a lot of reviews where people said they heard the ER4P is not suited to metal, but most of them were not from actual ER4P owners. On the other hand, it seems that the E3C has more powerful bass which, while making them maybe more suited for metal, will probably hide details for classical. I have also read that, with proper EQ, the Ety seems to be a good choice, but I am not sure the iPod will allow from proper tuning.
What do you think is a good tradeoff between these phones? Is there any good model which I miss? Which model would you recommend?
Thank you for your input,
