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. |
