Flac - Aug 2007 - FLAC: headphones

hi flac list!

I'm not sure if this question can be asked here, but here you go (it's a
question for audiophiles only):

I encode CDDA tracks to FLAC and play them on my Pocket PC (PDA). I'm
looking for a high quality headphone to connect to my Pocket PC, but it must
be an in-ear one but not like these:

So no plastic things must be inserted to the ears, it must be a flat surface
to put in your ears like these ones:

So I'm looking for a brand and type of headphones that will give extreme
good audio quality (possibly the best audio quality you can reach using
in-ear headphones) for playing lossless music files.

BTW: I'm not looking for these type of headphones (

thx in advance

Hi,

I forgot to say the headphone must have a 3.5mm stereo jack plug to attach
it the PDA.

thx in advance!

This is offtopic, Harry.  I think you should look into the
Hydrogenaudio community, instead.  In my experience they tend to know
everything there is to know about headphones.
