Ipod 4G has an output power of 30mW @ 16 ohms. If I remember well AKG's k271 studio have a nominal impedance of 50 (55?) ohms. I use Senns hd570 (64 ohms and open cans) with my Zen touch (20mW @ 32 ohms) and I can use them even in noisy rooms pushing the player at the highest levels (say 20-22...

BTW I don't mind if someone thinks I'm ridicolous. Becouse I know that if someone laughs too much (or at least in a way that offends me) I can always Kick His Ass Until It Bleeds (K.H.A.U.I.B. that's an ugly sounding abbreviation...) :-) Cheers again!

I've been using my Senns HD570 for a month at home and in public. At first I feeled a little unconfortable but not now. I believe that people where I live (and at university) had never seen such a big pair of cans... By the way it's funny to look at those faces staring at you as you were an...

After several hours of listening to my Sennheiser HD 570 I started working on some equalization to include into my future amp. I decided to cut a little the highs (around 9KHz) to smooth the drums. Also I boosted very low frequencies (30Hz) and mids (1KHz to bring in the voice). This...

thanx! (BTW beautiful photo in your avatar pic... is that your house?)

Ok let's start. This is my first pair of serious headphones, I had some cheap earbuds (sony, philips don't even remember the model) before and a very cheap (and crappy) philips closed sovraaural cans (maybe 10-15€ range). I expected them a bit sturdier. But I'm getting used to it. They also...

well it's seems it hasn't been a good idea to buy them... :-)

Hello there! I was able to find them at a very good price (40% off). The shipment will arrive tomorrow but i can't wait anymore. Anybody knows or has ever used this pair of cans?

Anyone has ever used this pair of headphones? I found them while searching for grados sr80. both are 32 ohms but the beyer have circumaureal pads for better comfort.

thanx for your help! I will buy the grados sr60 or sr80. Next step: an external amp... maybe Dr Head by Audiotrak

Well after a thorough search I found a store who ships Grados. Prices are: 119 euros for sr60 and 159 for sr80. I think it's more or less twice the price in USA... (that's Italy after all, if you can't sell things for twice the price it's not worth selling them... ;-) I find them very...
