For ipod or computers and stuff with lousy amplfiers (most integrateds) then I find the Sennheiser HD25 Pro works great (low impedance and great dynamics + the cup cuts out external noise so great for hearing detail with only some slight artifacts from the cup). The other medium priced headphones I really like are the classic AKG 240S (the S version has low impedance and more bass than teh orginal 600 Ohm classics that you see in all the videos of musicians in studios - the classics are great but need a headphone amp to sound there best).
Looking for info on headphones
Hello all
I'm curiously interested in getting a pair of headphones.
The problem is I only know where they are supposed to rest wile in action and that's about it...
My aim is not to replace any speakers... just for a change of pace... now and then.
Neither do I want to make a large investment, just sufficient to realize very good sonics.
Is this all possible for say $200 or so?
Lastly... does the aspect of high or low impedance matter?
I'll probably just plug them into a receiver unless there are some which have other than quarter inch jacks as interfaces.
Thanks very much...
