    PRO 900's are out of the running. I'm trying to stay under $300 and the cheapest I can find them is $350   While the DT 770's look very nice, I'm now leaning more towards one of the ultrasones due to portability and the fact that they are able to fold up into the hard case provided.  ...

    Absolute Best Possible Headphones to Use With an iPod?

    Just found the 32 ohm version of the DT 770's on amazon for 250!   I eliminated the HFI series and now have it down to either:   Ultrasone PRO 900, PRO 750, PRO 550 BeyerDynamic DT 770 (32 ohm), DT 660   Pro 900's would be 100 more than anything else on my list, at the moment I'm...

    How do I get the 15% off on that site? Also, any recommendation between the DT 660 and DT 770? (assuming I go with the 30 ohm version)

    Absolute Best Possible Headphones to Use With an iPod?

    It's actually the latest iPhone 4, it would be very hard to use an mp3 player that doesn't directly sync with itunes. I have been looking for a pair under 50 ohms or so, so that the iPhone would be capable of powering it. I found the marshall major headphones but read some reviews that they are...

    Absolute Best Possible Headphones to Use With an iPod?

    I was actually thinking of buying the beyer 770's however many reviews have called the bass "loose" and flimsy?   Also I can't find them any cheaper than $550 and my spending limit is under $400

    Absolute Best Possible Headphones to Use With an iPod?

    I know I posted in the earphone section, but just wanted to post in multiple forums.   I love the foam pads on the bose on-ears and am trying to find a pair of headphones with similar pads that sound and perform much better. I would be happy to buy a pair of over the ears, however don't want...

    Absolute Best Possible Headphones to Use With an iPod?

    I don't need an on-ear design. If the sound is that much better then I will get something that is over the ear, however since I'm using it as a portable set I don't want them to be so large where they look stupid on the street. I'm trying to find a pair of closed back audiophile headphones, but...

    Already have a pair of earphones that I like and just need a good pair of headphones for my ipod. I would really like to avoid using an amp if possible. I also love the memory foam earpads of the bose qc3's and have been trying to find a better quality headphone with the same type of...

    Absolute Best Possible Headphones to Use With an iPod?

    No real bass "requirements" just want a set with a decent range. As I said, I like the bass on the bose although they were slightly artificial, however, the bass on the P5's just weren't enough. I listen to more bass oriented music than I do acoustic so I would prefer something that favors...

      Hey, this is my first post to the forums as I am in the market for a new pair of "higher-end" headphones.   I purchased the Bose QC3's last week however ended up returning them immediately and couldn't justify spending $350 for headphones that were just "okay". I like the pronounced...
