nano Phones?

[bmstrong]

Couple days into my nano and it become very clear that, while I love my PX 100's, they look and feel HUGE compared to the nano. I have decided to venture into a territory I haven't stepped before: Smaller.

Reccommend me a small set of phones for my nano. My budget is $150 and I'm looking for something that sounds as good as my 100's..

What are you using with the smaller iPods?

We were eager to try AKG's latest noise cancelers—they're compact, light, and cool-looking, and they fold up small. The noise reduction is built into a belt clip, and the supraural pads are comfortable for the long haul. The K28NCs are very sensitive and can play loudly even from weak sources. We measured an ear-busting 111 dB on our standard rock track. The noise-reduction circuitry reduces external sound effectively. Bass response is very strong—maybe too strong for purists. _A sharp peak at 2.5 kHz emphasizes the high midrange more than we'd like, and there's a slightly muffled quality to the sound, but overall, these are listenable phones.

would you want earbuds? becuase if so there are some great choices for under $150...

Looks like you're looking for in-ears. I haven't listened to the Nano yet so I'm not sure what to recommend. The Shure E2c does seem like a good place to start.


But there are others who take it to the opposite extreme :D

I wouldn't say the opposite extreme. I'd say overboard.

Nobody uses those huge things anymore. Look at recording studios

My $250 Sennheiser sits on the shelf now. It sounds good, but they gets me tired during long listening and the earcups get my ears sweaty - bleew.

Canals are king IMO, move all u want, great once u get used to them. Nothing dangling, no battery needed compared to active noise cancellers.

LOL, that's a nice Qualia with the smallest mp3 player in the world. I think the qualia deserve a better source =D

[bmstrong]

Yeah. Looks like I want a pair of in-ear's. How well do we trust this site:

They have some interesting choices..

Earphonesolutions.com has some good comparison reviews.

Headphone.com is one of the best places to buy headphones BAR NONE. They will match prices with other retailers (like earphonesolutions.com, which often has cheaper prices) AND they offer a free return if you keep all of the bits that came with your 'phones (earphonesolutions charges a restocking fee)
I suggest you look at the Shure e4c (I have 'em and love 'em, you can also look at th ee3 and e2 for less $$) I think that can be had for $150 if you look around. ANother option are the new Xtrememac FS1's ($100), or the Super-fi 3 studio ($100)
