I am sure you will!

Behold, my collection of redundant portables!

From crap to greatness:

7.)Creative HQ-1300
Just, ew. Stay away. Horrible.

6.)Pioneer SE-450
Clamp tighter than K81DJs, distort like mad and screech out painful highs. I paid three bucks though, so yeah.

5.)Koss: the Plug
My first canalphones. It was a real novelty having bass in an earplug. Alright value at ten bucks.

4.)Koss UR-40
Sort of okay sound but muffled and lacking in detail. You'll miss half the music but the parts you do catch sound alright. Comfy too.

3.)Senny CX300
Accurate, not too pricy. just a nice set of canalphones to have with you on the go. Look downright classy.

2.)Senny PMX100
These would be great if I didn't live in the noisiest appartment in town. The added 'M' in 'PMX' means they're streetstyle, which in turn means they're wildly uncomfortable.

1.)AKG K81DJ
See the official 1400-post thread. They live up to the hype.

My reterminated and podless iM716s have surpassed my SR-60s.

• iM716 (hot rodded+reterminated)
• Grado SR-60
• KSC75 (recabled)
• KSC75 (stock)
• Sennheiser HD201
• UE super.fi 3 v 1.0

I prefer the iM716 for a number of reasons, mainly for the isolation and portability with little compromise on sound.

 

[shigzeo]

1. DT880 Headphiled with BlackGold - soundstage and tight bass makes me come back every time

2. HD600 stock - love depth to the bass, heard with a diff aftermarket cable at TO meet, but cannot say that I was that impressed to buy one. Soundstage cannot touch my Beyers, nor is there that interminably fun top end... but I likes them, I really likes them.

3. UM2, great bus drivers, underground and walking. The cable is hardly microphonic, great bass, but hiss like the devil. In fact my M-Audio has audible noise with these things! Great overall if not for the hiss.

4. Koss pro4aa - I feel like quite a collector with these on, or even just in the house, for nostalgia yes, not for fun, since it is much like a brick on the head.

5. Koss PortaPro - The bass kick is unrivaled anywhere I have heard. Fun fun fun.

6. Koss KSC 75 - Much the same without the hair-pulling band, but not as boomy; good love.

7. Senn CX300 (S) - Very fun, but don't get the feeling like I am really getting what I payed for them. Nice extension down and up though for the cheapness of the look.

8. EP630 - Look rubbish and for that reason, fall below the Senns. Cannot hear difference, but the straight cord is not my favourite as well... just ugly little triangle on the side.

9. iBud - quite surprisingly for an included bud, my favourite yet and that included my Sharp AUVI DR7, DS8, DS77 etc...

10. Senn mx400 - I head exactly the same as the ibud, but at least it is black and the fit is not as painful.

11. Senn mx500 and 550 - Waste of money, cost 39$ here in Canada. Waste of money
