[schwarzenneger]

[kramer5150]

ksc75

 

[chia-pet]

mine is the mx450. when it comes to portable setups, portability is super important (e.g., has to be able to go into my pocket at a moments notice).

 

[apnk]

well of all the protables i have had i would say the e3c.

 

[rayzian]

EX71s. I miss my beautifully burnt in pair.

So far it's definately the Westone UM-2. Small, light, comfortable, great sound, non-microphonic, and oh yeah...they sound pretty nice too

Man, we really need a Shure/Westone smily!

 

[PrototypeX2]

I really miss my ol' PX100, but ex81s are sounding good too.

From what I've heard so far and what I have in my collection, it would be the Eggo D77.

 

[steel102]

from what I own, the ksc-35's.

For anything, probably the sensa's or UE's

MDR-E484 it beats ER4 for ease in use.

Hmm, in order of rank, the ones I've owned (formerly owned are in [])

1. Sensaphonics 2X-S;
2. [Shure E5c];
3. [Sony Qualia MDR-EXQ1 (the Qualia EX71-like earbuds)];
4. audio-technica ATH-ES5;
5. Sennheiser PX200;
6. Sennheiser HD25-1 (with OFC cable upgrade);**
7. Sony MDR-EX71/70; and
8. [audio-technica ATH-EW9].***

Best,

-Jason

** HD25-1 isn't that compact, but is great for portable application. Sound quality is better than the higher ranked phones, but given size/comfort/whatnot...

*** Maybe I didn't give these enough of a chance/burn-in.
