hey.. ive been recently looking at getting some new headphones/ear phones

Previously owned earphones/headphones (with critique)

Seinhesser HD280 (no bass at all, highs and mids sound great...but bass was very dissapointed, so i ended up selling these after about a couple weaks..weak sound aswell. I know these are monitor headphones, so my bad for buying them)

Koss Earplugs (thought these were great at first then realised how muffly the bass was)

Seinhesser CX300 (big improvement to the Koss earplugs, but no good anymore)

I just bought a 80gb ipod Classic and I know the sound q arent great from these things (i was a creative zen man before) but i have an apple macbook and itunes so i had to give in and get this, i also have a lot of music... so pretty much my only option

Okay so I have narrowed down my choices to one of the Ultimate Ears ear phones..

I plan to get the Seinhesser HD25 at a later point as I wanna get set into music production, but want some earphones now for casual listening, im a bit of an audiophile...most of my music is at least 192kps however unfortunately i do have a couple albums encoded at ****ty 128kps..


Im mainly into Hip-hop with about 80% of my itunes library being Hip-hop, some drum and bass, some intrumentals, some trance and some trip hop/downtempo and of course so good ol rock...and a bit of chill out music...so quite a ride spectrum of music...

which earphones would everyone suggest, remember the EQ customisation is non existent on the ipod classic, just the crappy default ones like JAZZ.etc

my budget is up to around $150

any info needed just ask....

thanks a lot guys :-)
