Hey, I'm new around here. About a year ago I bought a pair of white SCL3s when they were being discontinued for $60. They've been great; the isolation is miles from my noise canceling panasonics, and they sound pretty good too. But since the end of hannukah (yes, I'm Jewish), I've found myself a couple bucks richer, and I've been wondering about upgrading to another pair of 'phones. My dad has been pushing me to get a pair of Grado SR60s, but I'm afraid I won't get as much out of them as a pair of IEMs because I would only wear them at home. At the same time, I don't want to spend more than about $80, and only then if I get a marked improvement in sound quality. My iPod is kinda beat up (long story) so I'm saving for a new one when it comes out.
I'm well aware of the RE0s for $79, and I know the er6i can be obtained for around $70. Are either of them worth it? Are there any other IEMs I should consider, or should I get an amp for my current headphones? There's nothing wrong with my SCL3s, but there seem to be some bargains around right now (I really wish I had gotten some of those TF10s for $99), and if I can get something better, then why not?
