Lmao, the E2C is in a completely different league. It's about 70 bucks used from the US, while I sold my UM2s for 320 used. The UM2s are fantastic in terms of build IMO, they're the design used by musicians on stage so you can really see them (transparent + flushed to the ears, unlike Shures and UEs) and the cable is the toughest of all the big IEM brands.
any good ear phones to recommend?

IF u think the UM2 is like a cheapo road side 2 dollar earphone, take a look at the ER4. :bsmilie:
Anyway, both are very tough and rugged. My UM2 took a lot of beating and its fine. Used it in the rain as well.
really? anyway the uncle at jaben was very helpful. but they were having some party last night so i thought better for me to go another day...very crowded yesterday.
the new black UM2 looks very cheap..the older transparent version looked much better..
hi, try the Grado S80. I am using it now. Open type.
Plug straight in to your iPod, or computer. Adaptor for other HiFi component. It is good enuf for daily use.

You should find all the info you need here.
As for me, I am not a headphones guy. I bought the only one that did not feel like headphones : Stax Sigma.
Big, ugly but front firing like speakers. They give you a sense of space. They are not side firing directly in your ears and are more gentle on your tympan.
But damn, you feel funny looking in the mirror.:bsmilie:

Where did you guys get your Koss PortaPros and for how much? My Px100s are kinda falling apart after 2 and a half years even though they're sounding better than ever. but I tot I might give the Portapros a try as the 2 are often mentioned in the same breathe
Audio technica makes pretty decent can escially thier AD-900 and A-900 (open and closed can respectively) THose are around $200+ though.

If the picture seems like a joke, this is serious.
See the link
Stax Sigma were the top of the range, Stax Electrostatic, "Semi-Panoramic Ear Speakers" made in Japan.
I am using the pro version which is very rare and sought after. Like these:
you can see the electrostatic panel in the front of the box.
Kinglsey at the Adelphi is selling the brand.

:bsmilie: goodness! i also thought joking only...really got such headphones! like putting 2 computer speakers on the ears!
sennheiser pxc250. the sound is superb, and the noiseguard is a must have especially if u commute using public transport everyday like me.
i was lucky enuff to audition 2 huge electrostatic speaker towers at a friend's place... was so friggin amazed at the sound that's coming from nothing but a thin piece of plastic sheet sanwiched between 2 perforated metal plates. omg.

Grado is a good and reputable brand. But it is still best that you audition them to see if they are suitable for you. For a basshead like me, Grado is not my choice.
