I do most of my listening on an Ipod on a commuter train or subway. I typically listen to podcasts and music that won't particularly stretch a decent set of earphones (e.g. rock but not the crazy thumping bass hairband kind). For a few years, I used Senn CX300's, but they kept breaking. I broke down and reading CNET bought Klipsch S4's about a year ago, which sounded pretty good, were only ok on sound isolation, but I managed to break them too (it was my fault - the cord got caught and ripped). I was going to buy another set, but (being worried about spending $80 on another set that was likely to break), I jumped on here to see if there was an equivalent option that may not be $80....
In my long-winded way, I'm looking for suggestions of earphones likely available in the US that will be strong on sound isolation and in the mid range, without bass that I don't necessarily need. Looking around here, I see a bunch of decent $30-$50 suggestions (some of which aren't readily available in the US like the DUNU Trident). Could you folks weigh in on a good set of headphones that will be strong in sound isolation, relatively sturdy, have good quality sound (but not audiophile, obviously), for the $30-$50 price point?
