Battle of the sub $100 headphones with iPhone controls
Hi everyone, I always like to keep a pair of sub-$100 in-ears for use on the go, straight from my iPhone. I like to keep the price low since they inevitably get trashed over a year or so of daily use, and I need an in-line mic and playback controls. After browsing around, I think I’ve...- UltraBird

Ultrasome PROline: same as PRO?
Hi all, I'm shopping around for a pair of Ultrasone PRO 650s. When I look online, I see some of the "PROline 650"s still for sale for about $15 cheaper.

PRO 650 unamped?
Would the Ultrasone PRO 650, with its 75 Ohm impedance, be capable of working well with my iPod Touch 2G, or would I be better off with its sibling the HFI 550?

AKG K 240 vs Ultrasone HFI-580
I currently own a pair of AKG K 240 MKII's (same sound as the 240 S), but I'm considering buying a closed pair of headphones for portable use. I had planned to buy a less expensive pair with the understanding that they would not match the SQ of my at-home K 240's, but looking at the HFI-580, I'm...- UltraBird

Best Closed Cans $100-$150: Audio-Technica vs Equation vs M-Audio vs Ultrasone
Howdy pardners, My crappy Sony earbuds finally gave up the right channel (finally!) so now I have an excuse to buy a pair of headphones for portable use. I'm looking for a pair of portable, sealed cans this time because I'm tired of fragile earbud cables. This is not going to be my main set...- UltraBird

Best iPod Headphone--Price No Object
My question is this: With unlimited funds and an iPod or comparable DAP as the only source, what is the very best full-size headphone that can be powered at normal listening volumes? I realize that no high-end can will reach its full sonic potential from the iPod's puny amp, so the only...- UltraBird
