Hi all,
I'm sorry to start a new thread on this topic, but I tried some of the advice in the other threads and it didn't work out for me.
I'm looking for a decent set of headphones for the office that don't leak sound (my boss doesn't like that ) and are comfortable for long periods. I currently use a set of apple in-ear buds (the ones with the rubber tips, not the ones that ship with their players) with an iPhone.
I tried a set of Sennheiser HD 228s based on some research. These did not sound at all good on the iPhone. I'm not sure how to describe it, but they sounded quite muffled and low. On a hi-fi amp they were much better, but I can't bring my hi-fi to work
Ideally I don't want to spend more than about GBP100 but I can go to GBP140 if I have to for something that is going to work long-term.
I don't know of anywhere to try a decent range of headphones out other than the Currys megastore at Lakeside (east of London) and they won't allow you to test with your own player.
Any advice would really be greatly appreciated!
Regards,
Wayne
