I'm spending next semester in China for a study abroad program and will be traveling a lot before I go there (mostly mainland China). I wanted to get some type of closed headphones for the trip. I was thinking some In-the-ears, but maybe some regular ones. Ambient noise canceling is one of the main things that I'm looking for.
The plan is to be listening to a Palm LifeDrive, but I might get a DAP if I can find one for a good price. I want to build a cmoy as an amplifier but was also considering the Headphone.com deal, where you get the Ety's, an AirHead, and a case for 299.
Price point is $300.
I was thinking of the Ety 4s, or the Shure e4s as in the ears.
No clue on what would be good as over the ear headphones.
Any suggestions?
To hep answer some of the questions:
I'm going to be listening mostly on the move - plane, train, bus and subway.
I listen mostly to rock/pop and some rap, but not that much.
The 300 budget is combined for the phones and the amp. If I build a cmoy, then I can spend more on the phones, if I buy a pre-made amp, then I have to spend less on the phones. I can go as high as 350, but that is pretty much it.
Size really isn't an issue. I carry a normal sized backpack with me everywhere, and most of the time that I will be traveling, I will have at least a small backpack (Oakley Icon-small) with me.
