Hello all.
Sorry for my first post being a question and all, but I need some emergency help, and I though this was the best place to ask
I'm looking for some in-ear phones for the usual stuff (walking, buss rides, airplane trips etc.). My main sound system is a Sennheiser HD650 with a PortaCorda MKIII, so the in-ears will only be used for the aforementioned scenarios. My source is a Dell Axim X50v (a PDA), which is quite capable of driving the HD650's (relatively), so I doubt they will have any trouble driving the in-ears.
Approximate prices for the products are as follows (I will be buying them here in Norway):
Sony MDR-EX71SL: 375NOK ($55)
Shure E2c: 740NOK ($110)
UE Super.fi 3 Studio: 995NOK ($150)
Etymotic ER-6: 1095NOK ($165)
I am willing to go as high in price as the Etymotic (if you think the prices are high, Norway is a very expensive country), but any comments on the Sonys?I have heard some good things about them, and since I am not very rich saving money is certainly something I am interested in.
I fear I have no chance to test them before I buy, so I will have to base myself on your advice (if you are willing to help). For comparison I love my HD650s, while the DT 234 PROs i own sound generaly bad compared to the HD650, and particularly the treble is very annoying.
Thank you for any help
