I am after a set of headphones for the commute after I was told not to use IEM's by the doc (after an ear infection). I listen to mostly rock/blues some metal and some random stuff like Steam Powered Giraffe.
I posted in this forum as I'm pretty much after an over ear set, though will consider on ear if they do the job I guess.
I tried the Momentum's on the other day and they didn't seem to fit my ears. Had the wife measure them for me (my ears) and she said 6.5 cm, yet the Momentum's didn't seem to fit over them. I've heard a lot of people say they don't fit too well. Or am I just being too picky and should I get them and put up with them?
I like the sound but am unsure about the fit.
The momentum s in the UK are about £250 and in the US (where i was going to get a family member to ship from, about $250 (big difference when you convert the price to pounds).
Ideally I'd like some noise isolation to drown out the nattering people on the bus and I'm listening to them via my phone. I might also use them at work in the office from time to time. I've considered getting a portable amp but I wouldn't be doing that right away. I think over ear will be better for use on the bus over on ear headphones, correct?
Also as it's for the commute, if I can avoid looking like a cyber man that would be great, hehe. One reason I tried the momentum's was their size.
I've also done a bit of reading about the Sony MDR10-BT and they look ok from the reviews I've read.
Help and advice appreciated.
