+1 for the Vsonics or shures. I would really suggest you go with either this 2 as i personally own the A-jays and GR06, and lend the Shures, klipsch and sennheiser from my friends. The Vsonics Treble is really clear, instrument seperation is good and really accurate, you can hear every dynamic of a song, while the Shures cannot really compare with the Vsonics in this aspect, but it has more bass than the vsonics. But bass can be determind greatly depending on the ear tips you use so i would go with GR06
I need some help with selecting right headphones. I'm starting to like these ones based on reviews but I'd love to get some advice.
First of all, my budget max is 100 $ including shipping from ebay or amazon, but I'm not really an audiophile, so if there's something that's just really incredible and is around 100$ that's fine, but if there isn't a huge difference between 100$ and 40$ ones, I'd rather take cheaper ones. So I aim at 50-60 $ price range.
I'll use them with my phone (HTC Desire Z) and most of the time I listen to music in noisy places like subway so sound isolation and high max volume are crucial for me. Also comfort is one of the main things, I want them to fit perfect and feel nice. I listen to all kinds of music, from classics to metal, electronic to acoustic guitar things. But usually I don't listen to bass-heavy music like House, Trance and Techno and mostly listen to calm music like post-rock, trip-pop, progressive rock. So that should be it about what I need.
The models I found that looked good are:
Vsonic GR06 - everything seems great except the brown color on it, really hate the way it looks
Jays A-Jays four (~ 55$) - for good design and great cords, but I heard they lack isolation and sound is not that good.
Shure SE215 (~ 100$) - sound isolation is almost perfect, but they are expensive and I'm not sure, if they are worth it.
Sony MDR-EX510SL (~ 100$) - they look great, but again - expensive and I'm sure if they are worth it.
Sennheiser cx300 II (~ 45$) - seem to be quite popular
Brainwavz m4 (~50) - seem quite good
Klipsch S4i (~ 70) - seem quite average and sure if they are any better than Vsonic
thanks a lot in advance, and keep in mind I'm really noobish in matters like this.
EDIT: I forgot to note that durable and anti-entangle (not sure how put that right) cords will be a huge advantage.
