Hey guys, got a pair of HD600 today and after about 5 hours of listening I've decided that they are going to be my home pair and since I am a poor college student, I cannot justify keeping the HD 600 with my Ortofon eq7 even though I like the Ortofon just as much. So I'm looking to downgrade to the $100 range. I thought about just go and buy a new pair of RE0 since I liked them when I owned them but thought I'd post something to get other suggestions.
Criteria (in order of importance)
-Must be comfortable and easy to insert/remove, I will use them to sleep and go places.
-Looking for an overall analytical sound, not the no bass etymotic sound. Something along the line of the W2 or eq7 is good.
-I like soundstage, it doesn't have to be pinpoint(I won't be playing shooter with them), a general "big" feeling is all I need.
-No amp, will be driven out of an iPod Classic on the go. Might get sometime with the D4 at home but I think I'll use the HD600 for that purpose mostly.
Possibilities at the moment
-RE0(Tried them, had them, liked them, maybe want to try something else to see what else is there?)
-RE1(How well does it do without an amp? How's the comfort since they look to have similar housing to the RE2 and I didn't care for that thing's fit and cable)
-IE7(How comfortable is it?)
Are there other suggestions? Thanks in advance!
