Thanks for all your replys guys, there very appreciated. I spent a little bit of time looking at the Shure 840's and the Ultrasound 580's. Both look great and look like they'll suit my needs, unamped.. I will also be able to buy an amp, it's just I really wouldnt have the space to move it...

Hey. My musical tastes vary from acoustic through to trance, electro, synthpop etc. I have came to a conclusion I really need a great headphone which I can use which will NOT require amping, so far i've came up with a list of headphones with "low ohms". Does this mean they will be easier to...

Ok, so my other thread has lead me to this question.. What is the best kind of headphone (cans)  I can buy that can be used for my MP3, iPhone etc that will not need amping, not that it "isnt neccisary" but actually isnt reccomended.   I was looking at the berydynamic sd 770 80 ohm ones, as...

I've been looking into this too. I wanted to get a portable amp for my iPod as I am going to purchase a pair of Sennheiser HD650's. Will the 650's run amazingly straight from my iPod, iPhone or Cowon and not need amping?   Or is this crucial. I'm stuck on this one! :(   Thanks guys..

Quote: Hey thanks for your reply. So you think this combination would produce too much of a bass thick system? Again, the source is going to be laptop -> amp, or media player such as Cowon J3,S9 or iPhone, iPod -> amp then phones..   So you think, with that amplifier and the HD650's...

Hi guys I have been looking at this set up for a while now after hearing rave reviews about both products, the amplifier and the headphones. I enjoy listening to music through my laptop and also from my Cowon player and iPhone. I feel that upgrading my standard headphones to a set up like this...

Ok cool so would I be correct in thinking this is the only cable  I need: http://www.audioaffair.co.uk/index.php?act=viewProd&productId=2450

I mean on the amp I suppose it had RCA inputs so I shall need to by cable with 2 RCA connectors to connect from soundcard to the amplifer ?

Ok so an amp like that will be supplied with cables with RCA connectors on the end?

Oh fantastic thats great then.   So i'll be having a look at them also.   Is there any additional things that will need to be bought? Cables etc..   Complete newbie to this :)   Thanks Jordan

Hi thanks for your quick reply. I have taken a look at that USB Amp and does really look great. Would it benefit if I purchased a good sound card also for my machine.   The main sources I will be listening to are 128kb, 320kb MP3 Files but also some WMA files..   So all I would need to...

Hi people firstly I let me introduce myself. I am Jordan and came across this great website while researching headphones. While it has provided me a valuable source of information with reviews and comments etc, I am kind of stuck on something.   Basically, I have saved a lot of money to...
