over my M50, still love Tracks - whats next?

[sbm888]

Ok, i have had the ES7, currently using M50s and Tracks. I still love my Tracks and use them for home/gaming/music.

I love the sound of them, but i need a new set for transport on the bus. The m50 is just a bit 'bland' compared to the fun sounding Tracks.

is there a closed (no leakage) sounding set of cans that sound like AiAiAi Tracks? and have a portable look/feel?

Thanks in advance.

Maybe check out the Aiaiai TMA-1 or Audio Technica ESW9. Both are definitely more fun sounding than the M50, particularly because they have more dynamic tones for the mid-range and treble

Do you have a price range in mind?

[sbm888]

was hoping around the 200 mark, so I can sell my M50 and get these new ones....

[Felix]

Koss TBSE1 or Shure SRH840 if you can spare the size perhaps

[sbm888]

ok - regardless of price, then would the TMA-1's suit my requirements? (just need to persuade the wife!)

so difficult without a dedicated headphone store in Adelaide....

[Felix]

Yep certainly. To give you an idea of size the earpads are a similar width to the ES7. They're bigger, but not big, and pretty decent sound isolation to boot (definitely enough for transport)

Thanks Felix - but the wifey said 'no' to new headphones..... so i'll just keep my M50 or until they accidentally break this weekend?

Brainwavz HM3 ? cheap enough the wifey surely cant argue with!

You'd be surprised with what/how much wifeys can argue about, especially when it's your ... errrr sorry her ... money we're talking about
