Bose Triport in Ears with Total Headroom Airhead amp?

Don't bother. Really, just take the $$ for the Headroom amp and pick up a set of Grado SR60s.

Wow, from what I found on this forum and the internet, the 60's have quite a following.

 

Bose wasn't my first choice...

 

Thats why I prefer money over gifts at Christmas

You should be quite impressed. Best headphones for the price. Warning....they can be a gateway drug to better and better gear (they were for me ).

Cheers.
 

I never hated my Bose Triports (not in ear) when I had them, but it's better to just invest in a new pair of headphones instead of buying the Total Airhead for the Triports.

The Total Airhead to me is worth every penny though. I just wish it was a tad more portable and less awkward to carry around. It's far better then the NuForce mobile and can actually power the HD-600! Barely though, but it's enough so that it actually HAS bass and sounds good!

It however will NOT power the AKG 701, maybe a little, but it's not a good match at all. This should be obvious though and I think NO portable amp could!

I accidentally blew up my original airhead due to plugging in the wrong adapter (don't ask!) and I liked it so much that I went out and bought the same one.

The Grado SR-60 might be good. I've owned the SR-80 for years and never felt like selling them despite never being impressed with them. I think for the price I payed, one could do far better these days. The SR-60 is maybe cheaper, but I haven't checked lately.

BOSE - Buy Other Sound Equipment lives up to its name once again!
