1/3 What headphones (non-earbud) do you use or recommend for your
Ipod or other MP3 Player?
\_ I borrowed my friend's Sennheiser HD500 and could hear sounds
I've never heard before on many songs. They're quite pricey
but you'll notice the difference in sound quality.
\_ I wonder why iPod doesn't have bluetooth. I hate the wires.
\_ Are you excluding in-ear canalphones too?
\_ yes. Why do you like earbuds/canalphones?
\_ they're not as bulky. i was using Sennheiser HD280 Pro's at
work for 2 yrs before I switched to Shure E2c's. -someone else
\_ They're smaller, lighter, and more portable, which makes
them more convenient. They're not as likely to fall off your
head, and canalphones are good are blocking out external
noise so I can listen to music at a much lower volume.
\_ thoughts on Bose Triport?
\_ tried these at sharper image. pretty good, but i wouldn't pay
$150 for em.
\_ While I love my canalphones, I also have some Sennheiser HD212s that
I got for around $50. They have fairly good clarity and a bit of
passive blocking of outside noise. They overemphasize bass too,
which could be a plus or minus depending on your tastes.
\_ What's your budget? I have a pair of Sennheiser HD590s, and they're
very nice. Pricey though. On the less expensive end, I've had at
different times Koss PortaPros and KSC-35(? funky behind the ear
jobs that I found uncomfortable). I also have a headphone amp, which
makes a huge difference. I'm not sure if many (any?) portable
players can do a good job driving my Senn's or even the Koss's. |
