So I am getting ready to upgrade my Sennheiser CX475s to something a little better. My Budget is between $60.00 and $80.00. I have narrowed my choices down to the Sony MDREX310LP and the Klipsch Image S4. I was looking for some good side by side comparisons of these two headphones but for some reason, I cant find any despite them being in the same price range.
I was in Best Buy today and I looked at them both side by side. The Klipsch is definitely smaller than the Sony and they look like they will be more comfortable, but reviews of the Sonys I have read say they are comfortable as well. The Klipsch looks like it will stay in my ears better when I am out running or doing other physical activities. I'm not so sure about the Sonys. I am think the Sonys will present a more accurate sound than the Klipsch. It even says on the box of the Klipsch that they color the sound with bass. I am not sure if this is really what I want. I have also heard from others that the Klipsch may not be the best sould quality in the price range. The Sonys seem like they will be a bit better in terms of sound quality. I actually would have walked out of Best Buy today with the Sonys if they price match amazon but due to a $15 price discrepency, I walked out of their store empty handed. I will either get them at Amazon or my local Fry's electronics.
What I want to know is if anyone has had extensive experience with both of these and can give me some insight on which are better. I think most important to me is Sound Quality followed closely by comfort. I listen to a lot of different things but mostly rock and trance.
Thanks
