Specific headphone advice needed.

Hi. It must seem irrational buying 2 mp3 players only a few months apart but eh... I ordered a J3, it's coming today

I'm looking to pair it with a set of on the ear neckband type headphones like the
Creative HQ-140 or the
Sennheiser PMX 90 or the
Sony MDR-G75LW

Ca I do better than these at about 100$ ?

well, that type of earphones, are not pulling out the bass in music. i hope you know this, before wanting them. i have had about 3 pairs of over the ear earphones, and they were not pulling out of them any bass... they were plain...

if you have 100$ and you are willing to get some good headphones, go, grab some grado's.

I'm not looking for a lot of bass. I don't usually listen to music which has the bass created artificially (by synthesizer).

Grado ... ah, you mean the iGrado. That's an interesting suggestion, thanks.

from your list, igrado are the best... this type of wearing earphones hasn't a hifi, high price model yet.

i don't listen to bass-driven either, or artificial bass but...

somewhere, a little bass is helpfull. if your are so into these things, look either into grados or sennheiser. both of them make a very high-level-audiophile products. i think that a headphone from them would be better!

are you romanian? (porcupene in translation would look like porc=pig cu=with pene=feathers, so something like pig with feathers, what your avatar looks like)
