Hi all,   I'm looking for a pair of closed headphones, for music that will be driven out of an iPod classic (no amp). I listen to mainly hip hop (around 60% of music collection), but don't want anything too bass-heavy. Phones will be used mainly on the go (walking round, on the train...

Man, I'm loving these phones! Has anyone got any tips I should know about when using these headphones, like burn-in time, etc? I find the head band is a little tight, I'm going to put them around a stack of books for a while to loosen them up. Any mods that might be helpful? Thanks!

Can explain the different types? So far, I've seen... HD25 HD25 II HD25-1 II HD25-13 II HD25c II I just want a straight cable, 3.5mm jack. Which should I go for?

I have finally narrowed my choices down to these two, but am stuck to decide between them. Both are within budget (although the AKG's are much cheaper), and I will use them for my iPod (predominantly hip hop music) to use on the streets, train, library, etc. Which would you recommend? I...

A couple quick questions... (1) How well do these headphones block out noise while walking on a busy road? (2) Is the noise cancelling only useful in airplanes / long distance trains? (3) If you live in a city with underground rail travel, how effective is the noise cancelling against...

Ok, so I'm looking for a pair of headphones to use with my iPod on which I alomst exclusively listen to hip hop music. I travel on the London Underground a lot, and use my headphones whenever I'm walking in Central London. My question is which headphones would suit me best? I recently ordered...

On all-round sound quality, not just noise-cancelling ability...

I'm very new to the headphone community, and I'm looking to buy a pair of noise-cancelling headphones, as my old Sennheiser PX100's just won't do the trick while I'm constantly travelling on the London Underground. I've narrowed my choice down to 3 possible phones, which are... Sennheiser PXC...
