Yet another ety thread.
I am considering buying a pair of etys for running. I mostly run offtrack (trail) early in the morning, so there are no cars and few cyclists to look out for.
I am a newbie to the music world, got an iPod for christmas and bought the sont-v6s a month ago. I listen to a lot of different music; rock, jazz, classical, some pop and seldom some rap. I do fear (or look forward to
) that I will become a jazz fan in some time. My source will mainly be the iPod. I am only a teenager so unless I continue to hang around inthis forum, I probably won't buy a decent home rig in the next couple of years. I do although do some listening from the family's rig, which I think is a sort of best-bang-for-the-buck NAD stuff.
I said that I wanted headphones for running. If I purchase the 4P/S, it may become may main headphone for the next years (if it fits my ears).
I am looking at two packages form Headroom:
http://www.headphone.com/layout.php?...tID=0000000032
and
http://www.headphone.com/layout.php?...tID=0000000027
The price difference is pretty big, and I am not even sure if I will be allowed to buy anything as expensive as the 4P/S with TAH package, even if it is my own money I use.
Pros and cons:
ER6:
+ cheaper, I won't have to be sent to a psychiatrist if they break
+ Less microphonic effect due to thinner cable.
+ I get to hear the "ety sound"
- May the cable break easier?
ER4P/S
+ Sound quality, guess they will make my v6 obsolete.
+ Build quality most probably is better.
- I don't know what I will do if they break.
- Oh, so expensive.
- Microphonic effect
How big is the problem with the microphonic effect while running?
Puh, I have tried to write a bit this time compared to my another newbie-who-don't-use-the-search-function-and-don't-give-enough-information-in-his-first-post-posts (another puh.)
