Does anyone have an opinion on entry level headphones? - Page 2

If I'm listening to the V2's on my ipod, how necessary is an external amp?  I'm not dropping $200 to spend another $60-$70 on an amp.

They don't require an amp, they are a standard 32 Ohms, I use them on various Sansa Clips and Minidisc players with no problems. Full details here.

I think I'm gonna pick those up.  Can't wait to see the look on my friends' faces when I say "my headphones play bass frequencies a quarter the amount the beats can handle."  I also love the minimalist design.

Just because it has a low resistance doesn't mean it won't benefit from an amp.

If that was the case people would be using the LCD-2's unamped, and it's common knowledge they're very power hungry cans.

I wasn't really impressed by the V-Modas. Still too much focus on fashion. If the M50's aren't bassy enough for you, go for the PRO700MK2's. Keep in mind, the M50's are professional headphones used in studios, and they're built for that. Some of the way it is built, and aesthetics, may not be what you like because of this.

After heavily auditioning the M50's I went with the PRO700MK2's for my bass cans and I am beyond impressed.

any of the ultrasone will be a good choice.

Ultrasone 580's, 780's or ATH-M50's.

 

Have not listened to the V Moda's, but despite the fact that they're mentioned often (hype, perhaps?),

generally the reviews I've read have not been too positive.

Not negative - but not glowing, either. 

 

So I'm cautious about buying a pair.
