Hi, first post so a little background.
I had been using a creative zen stone plus and it's throw away earphones, when I bought a Phillips shp1900. I got it because it was quite cheap (around 10$) felt that it sounded better than the bundled creative earphones and I wanted to try out if i would enjoy wearing headphones that covered my ears. (I did).
Comparing the shp 1900 and the bundled earphones awakened me to the joy of listening to lossless music with better equipment. While the shp1900's pretty okay for it's price, i would want to try out something better.
My uncle's getting me an ipod soon and I hope that I would have a pretty good headset to match it with. The things is I'm looking for a budget of 30-45$
Aside from the price, I would also want it to be
- Covering the ears, kinda like the shp1900 (I think the term is full sized?)
- Not a clip on, not a plug (i think I have weird shape ears as clip ons always fall, plugs on the other hand hmm i've never been fully comfortable with them)
- No sound leakage (I think closed is the term)
- Within the budget
- Stylish(?) something that i can hang on my neck and still look neat
(but this is not really a big issue)
I hope you guys could help
Thanks
