Thanks Stereo!

Considering your budget, and judging that you liked clarity, you can consider to get house of marley: smiling jamica instead of the a-jays one. For that model, it is tuned more towards the bassy side, clarity wise, not so much. I'm not pretty sure about the other models you have named, but a-jays, definitely not very clarity friendly to me.

Hope my opinion helps.

Thanks Maine!! Went down to Stereo to try the models today and it turned out to be the one I liked the most. The medium buds fitted very nicely too and I could barely hear the noises on the train. It tuned out all the conversations and I could only vaguely hear the train stop announcements. The sound is great.

Thanks again!

do you have something, one side wire kind ?
but the headphone, dont look like its easy to keep in bag.

 

[TeamStereo]

Depends on your bag size too =) Although its not foldable but still can be kept in a bag. Preferably to put the headphone inside a pouch first to prevent any cable issues too

i understand. thanks so much for the help .

Dunu Trident? Slightly above your budget tho..

 

[TeamStereo]

Agree that Dunu Trident suits your genre of music but slightly higher. If not can look at the JVC FX101
