Evening all.
 
I am after some small portable closed can,I just bought some T51P's but not keen on the bass,I like the mids and love the highs but I do not get on with cans that have a mid bass boost.
So wanted to know what recommendations you guys have for a budget of £250
 
Full size cans I like are:
                                    PSB M4U-1 (love everything about it)
                                    Shure 1840's (open but still love the signature)
                                    GMP 400 (Similar to 1840's)
 
I also have the Musical Fidelity MF-200 and I do like the sound,but clamping is too tight (especially as I wear glasses)
 
I was thinking of the Sony MDR-100AAP but would prefer slightly smaller if possible.
 
So something small with a slight warm side of neutral is what I am after :)
 
Many thanks for reading

Ah excellent,! I knew there was an IEM thread like this but didn't realise a portable thread was available.
Thanks

PM-3 would be good if they were smaller,I am guessing they sound similar to PSB-M4U1.
 
I was thinking of getting the MSR7 as a home set,but again really after a small pair.
 
Maybe I should live with the T51p's as they won't be my main cans.
