I have a young friend who is a music major in college. She's a prodigy who got an associates degree at 15 at a junior college and is now in her junior year of a big school at 16. She is looking for some headphones for listening assignments.
My experience is fairly limited on this front. I have Monster Turbine Pro Copper IEMs and love them. I use Shure E2C for most everyday type listening because I'm not as worried about killing them while spending 5 hours sitting on a tractor. I have some old Yamaha Orthodynamics that I use with my (electronic) drum set. That's about it so I figured I would ask here.
Budget is around $100 and requirements are flat, accurate response (as much as possible in that price range anyway) and good isolation. She doesn't have a lot of experience with IEM vs. over-ear so she doesn't have a preference as of right now. I'm going to loan her the Monsters to get a feel for that side and see what she says about them.
So....whatcha got?
Thanks!
