http://graphs.headphone.com/graphCompare.php?graphType=0&graphID[]=753&graphID[]=143&graphID[]=1233&graphID[]=563 *edit* UGHHH stupid brackets in the URL name, just copy and paste the link into your browser **** I believe the ideal perfect studio audio reproduction looks like a graph somewhere between the Sennheiser HD555 and the ER-6i, but Imo, a lot closer to the ER-6i. From the graph you also see that for accurate audio production, the Sony DJ headphones mdr-700s suck balls for the price. And from personal experience, I can tell you that although they look cool, they break super easily, they sound like they have almost 0 bass, they make your ears really sore (because they're so tight) after like an hour, and they just sound really off. Really, I haven't heard anything sounding better than my ER-6i canalphones. As a disclaimer, canalphones aren't for everyone. They have to relaly go way up your ear for them to get their accurate sound reproduction, and becaues of this, some people don't like the way they feel after awhile. I, personally have gotten used to it, and I can wear my ER-6is for hours with minimal discomfort. I've even fallen asleep with them inside my ear and woke up fine. | ||

They are very comfortable, durable, and great for general needs too. The consumer version of this headphone (exactly the same sound) is the mdr-v6, and I would REALLY recommend those based on your description They can be found under $100 including tax/shipping, they isolate decently well, they the most neutral hps in your price range, and they are indestructable (other than the earpads, which you can replace). They are also extremely popular in professional recording studios, and have been for decades. Canalphones are good for bass response and isolation, but if you are using them for recording purposes, they have huge problems which a lot of people cant deal with. You are going to notice some terrible high frequency cutoff on any canalphone except maybe jh-13s, which still cost around $1200-1400 iirc, you might notice problems with microphonics (hearing audible sounds when anything touches or moves the cable), and you have to deal with fit issues and replacing ear tips. The only canalphones that can compete with full size headphone setups are high end custom fit canalphones, which are WAY out of your price range anyway | ||

He's most definitely right :x | ||

EDIT: Oh, they only have a 1/4" connector, so you'll have to buy a converter for a few dollars. Also the chord is thick but it is really flexible and it shouldn't give much of an issue. | ||

As for the 10kHz cutoff, human ears don't really pick up more than 10kHz anyways - human voice cuts off at around 2-4kHz max, and the highest hihats are like 6-8kHz. If you're a true audiophile though, that may be an issue (I can live with the almost perfect accuracy in the 0-10kHz) region. | ||

![[image loading]](http://www.pocketmacblog.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/06/bose-quietcomfort-3-acoustic-noise-cancelling-headphones.jpg) They're pretty good, haven't broke yet (been 2 years) and all of my other headphones have a tendency to only work on one side after a few months, these work as great as they did the first day i got them. | ||
