I spend a lot of time travelling (on the train etc.) and just bought myself an SlimX(mp3cd) player to ease the pain... the phones that came with it were decent treble wise but the bass was nonexistent.
So I got myself the senn mx500 earphones... It's quite ok, but still seems a bit weak bass wise, guess it's just a design weakness.. (I'm no audiophile... I'd luv to be ^_^).
Anyhoo... I'd like to buy a good pair of portable headphones here in OZ but would have to pay $120-140 (AUD) for a pair of Porta Pros (around $70-80 USD). I'd love the KSC35's but I can't find anyone selling it here, and certainly no online retailer willing to ship it and not costing over $150AUD for it all. The KSC50 is around $69(AUD) but I heard it's pretty uncomfortable so that's sort of out of the question...
Fact is, I'd love to get a good set of portable headphones. Is it worth paying this much for it? Any other portable cans around the same price point worth considering?
Any help would be great guys. Sorry for the newbie post ^_^.
