Not yet jjcha. Lack of time prevents my completing the custom purchase. I can wire funds and log onto the Internet from anywhere but unfortunately I can't transmit my ear canals to the audiologist. And in fact these days since we have meets while flying so I can't canalphone myself out, and since I'm not flying scheduled unless necessary the planes I fly in have a considerably reduced need for additional isolation.


I guess I'll have to pick up the E4c too.


If there is a better phone though for what it is than the HD25-1, I'm all over it. If anyone finds it, let me know?

What I was saying is that if the price to performance ratio is 1:1, that's good value.

Oi, how about we just agree to disagree?

 

[Blitzula]

Yeah, I guess we should agree to disagree. Appreciate the civil discussion, both with you and in general on head-fi. I hate it when people get personal and/or mean when discussing things online. The civility of head-fi is the biggest reason I still post/read here.

I think Bose Triports and most of the Sony MDR-Vxxx line, won this 'contest'...

Grado RS-1. THEY SUCK. BIG TIME.

how can you guys diss BOSE but not Grado, which is more expensive and much more harsh.

 

[cycledoc]

Triports are engineered to break in 1-2 years, if that.

How so?

And IME, the worst can for the money is the Bose Triport OE. Sounds worse than the AE, and costs $50 more

 

[camille]

the entire lo-end Sony EX series (EX51, 70, 71, 81) (EXCEPT EX90)

can't vouch for the EXQ1 though as i haven't heard those...

 

[Shahrose]

lower end sony's, especially the mdr v300's, and bose triports.

I'm sorry, I just couldn't resist.

Sennheiser HD25SP

Retail price is 100 bucks, and it sounds like it's worth 15 USD. Even Triports might have better bang for the buck than these cans.
