at $188, i don't know how you can consider going with the e3c instead of the er4p's. the clarity and speed of the er4's are well worth the cost difference.

Thanks to everyone for helping out! I am 99% there to getting the ER4-P/S from idealsound, but is an amp really that necessary? I don't think I really need that going from cheap OEM headphones to something this quality.

The post that made me ask: Here

Comfort should be fine for long stretches I guess.

If your body's not moving I doubt you'll feel that much a difference in comfort.
Secondly, The e2c is inferior to the e3c's, and to my ears te e3c's are much inferior to the Ety's for classical and rock.
Thirdly, once you buy those, you'll be longing to upgrade your source, then an amp, then a cable, then change them for better synergy, then...who knows what then.

I tried Shures and didn't like them - not enough treble detail for me. I'd recommend the Ety range, it sounds like you're headed for ER4s
