So I need a good pair of portable headphones that'll I mostly use with an iPod to play FLAC Alternate Rock/Hip-Hop/House/Pop.
 
i'm looking for something that is preferably stylish (or just not downright ugly like alot of headphones are)
 
thanks!

so IEM's are ...garbage? stepping on a mighty lot of toes there

From my understanding, IEMs just couldn't give you the same quality sound as a pair of over-ear headphones could..but that's not the point of this topic and I don't mean to offend anyone..

No offense, but you seem awfully pushy and are making brash statements. Have you heard all in-ears to be able to say they are garbage? There are quality in-ears. And replying in your own thread to say "anymore?" when you are asking a good community for advice seems rude. Be patient. 
 
There are plenty of good looking on ears... I personally like the look of mine the AiAiAi TMA-1, but the sound isn't for everyone, and they don't fold. So they are not the most portable of portables... I'm not sure what you think is good looking... So I might also recommend ATH-Pro700GD. Though they are a bit flashy they do look nice. They sound pretty good too imo (though I have only listened to the black version). Again I don't know what styles you like, because "Stylish" is such an arbitrary and subjective word. What looks good to one will not to another.

 

[EndlessMike]

What, you guys are the ones being pushy and whatnot; that's just my opinion on IEMs, I don't like em..
 
Anyways the TMA-1 seems nice, I'm thinking of getting either that, ATH-ESW9 or a Sennheiser HD25 II....any suggestion on which one I should roll with?

One thing is not liking them and the other is stating their proficiency.
 
IEMs>Portable Headphones for the price though it's a completely different sound. On the other hand full-size headphones are better but not portable and require a very good source.

These are pretty stylish, they will move your soul.

 

[EndlessMike]

Ugh, dude I honestly don't care about IEMs at all; can you guys just stop it?
 
like i said any suggestions between ESW9, MS400 and Sennheiser HD25 II?

 

[Inks]

Well you made it hard to take you seriously....There are certain IEMs that sound better than the portables mentioned here, but OT..
 
HD25>ESW9>MS400
in terms of clarity and the opposite is true in terms of warmth.
 
ESW9 isn't as userfriendly as the HD25 because it doesn't have a replaceable cable and it's build quality demands  care even though it's beautifully and solidly built. Read this thread for info on all 3.
