Hey all, I'm a new member here. Naive, yes. So apologies in advance!
First of all, I gotta say you guys are crazy. I've been reading for a while and I'm blown away by how much you know about the audio world. One day I hope to attain such greatness!
Now for a newbie question. I've searched the forums and found a few suggestions, but I'm just going to ask it straight--what are your recommendations for quality 'phones that are ideal for BOTH work/home listening and working out/going to the gym?
I was close to buying some Etymotic 4P 'phones, but after researching a ton, I was eventually turned away by the microphonic aspect of the cord. Well, that coupled with the price
ha ha ha.
I know that there's an eternal raging debate over the quality of the Sony EX71s. My sister has a pair so I'm going to try them out tonight to see how they are.
I listen most exclusively though an iHP-120 with no amplification. I'm currently using the stock buds.
So, let the suggestions come! Oh yeah, my budget is around $100.
Great to be a part of this place. I'm sure I'll learn a lot, I'm well on my way from what I've read here already.
Thanks guys (and girls)!
