Can you help me buying the cheapest headphone for classical music and jazz?
I know there are two problems:
1. Ususally this is the music for high-end equipement.
2. I just have a IBM Thinkpad T40 and have no money at the moment for external soundcard or amplifier.

Now listening Sennheiser HD 515 but it is not mine (anyway the sound is not so bad).

Thanks

I dont know if anyone has ever heard of these, but I bought these for testing. I am not an audiophile or anything like that, but I really like my MB Quart QP400's.

If anyone else has tried any of the MB Quart family, please give me their opinion, just so i can see that I'm not completely retarded by my hearing.

I'm looking for a pair of wireless headphones that don't require AC power to the transmitter. Does such a beast exist? I bought a pair Sennheiser RS140(which I can't use now) without fully understanding how those headphones worked. I bike a lot and I'm trying to get off of wired headphones as I've snagged a couple of wires while riding. =/

Most wireless headphone transmitters run on ~12 V dc, so you can find a battery that will put out sufficient voltage and current to run them. A car battery is a little low on the voltage side, but has tons of current! You can also hook some "D" cells in parallel that should work too.

Hmm... Sounds like a little project there...=/ I imagine the D cells would work. I need something that isn't huge/heavy. And while I do have some know-how, could you give me a general idea on what I'd need to make a safe version of the D cell setup?
