I have a new iPod Classic and listen to lossless music using my Sennheiser PX100s. The sound is very nice indeed: a touch laid back, very open and detailed.
I am sure I can improve on the PX100s, as good as they are, as I don't think i'm getting the best out of the lossless tracks on my iPod.
I'm willing to spend up to 150GBP (240USD) on full-size headphones that meet the following criteria:
1. Must be a significant aural upgrade from the PX100s;
2. Need to be driven solely by the iPod Classic (i.e. no headphone amplifier required);
3. Provide a laid-back, very detailed, warm sound - I listen to smooth jazz most of the time;
4. Must be sourced from within the UK.
With some research I have seen the following headphones mentioned on various forums:
- Grado SR60
- Grado SR80
- Sennheiser HD595
All of the above are easily within my budget. I also know about the Allesandro MS1s but don't want to order from abroad. So, are there any others that I should consider and which headphones would give me the best audio quality from the smooth jazz lossless tracks on my iPod and improve upon my PX100s?
