I have been listening to IEM's for the last few months and am ready to pick up a set of cans as an alternative. (Removing and Inserting IEM's everytime someone stops by the cube is annoying.) I am thinking a closed-back pair would be best suited for the office environment.
All of the "what should I buy" threads and mod threads I have read seem to point me to about three choices: Equation RP-21; Denon D1000K and Audio Technica ATH-ES7 which are all just under $100 at Amazon. The office setup is a laptop with the Penguin DAC / Penguin Caffeine and currently ER-4Ps. It is a good sounding set-up to me: could use a tad more bass though.
Anyhoo, I am not looking for perfection, just a pleasing, warm, tube-like sound. Any comments, good or bad, you are willing to offer would help me decide. Thanks.
