I'd like to get some advice on what I need to get the most of these headphones. I just ordered them used and I'd like to be ready by the time they arrive. I know this is a common thread and I did search this forum before posting and found quite a few "Do 598s need amps" questions. And I have...

I found the ones I had they're called Bose IE2. But they're 185!? I bought them for 50 from target. Is there anything similar Bose makes or other manufacturers make? These phones have a mesh on the head instead of being fully plastic so that gives them this open air design, but they're not...

I am looking for earphones. That is they should be inserted in your ear instead of sitting on top of your head with a band. Not sure if they're called in-ear or something else. Basically like those in your avatar, but with an open back, so they would leak noise in and leak music out.

they're not open back! That's the most important thing for me. I'm not looking for the cheapest, I'm sure they're good quality but I really want something to what I had before. If someone can at least give me a name for the bose open back headphones they used to sell so I can look it up on ebay...

I'm looking for open back / open air earphones. I've bought a pair from Bose about 5 years ago from target but I cut the cable by accidnt and couldn't reattach them again. Anyways I'm looking for the same ones, I just don't know what they're called and bose website doesn't seem to have them...

Thanks for the suggestion, after reading much, I realized that HD 600 is going to run me close to 1g if I want to hear it properly. But X2 or even hd592 is something like $180 with no amp needed. So I think I'll stick with that for now.

Hi, I'm thinking of investing some money, about $500-$550 into an audio system, and after some research decided to settle on HD600.   I have a very large electronics boutique nearby and have tried a few models including this one and they all sound very average (to me at least) without any amp...

I actually meant earbuds, because I didn't really liek the Shure 535s. I'm looking for open-back (or whatever it's called) earbuds (not the ones that go deep into the canal) they also have to <not> be sound isolating. Basically I'm looking for a very 3D sound, and the most airiest bass.

That definitely is weird, but I would explain it by the fact that in most headphones the vibrating membrane is made out of a particular density of cellophane. Since cellophane is basically very thin plastic, it is subjective to heat and to a lesser extent to moisture/pressure. I believe if the...

Hi, I'm pretty new to audio equipment but I recently bought Bose IE2 earbuds for $100 and I loved how they sounded. The treble is so-so but the bass is deep and fast. They are open-air so you can hear your surroundings (which is what I prefer). I browsed around and did a few serches but it seems...
