Hello.
I've been doing some research on this wonderful site, and now I need a little nudge in the right direction.
These headphones will be used with my iAudio U3 which I understand also has a decent headphone out jack (haven't used it yet as it is my Xmas gift from wife). My budget is about $150CDN including shipping and taxes (~$130USD). Closed cans are a must, and I will never be getting and amp, nor will these ever be used as such. I prefer circumaural, but am open to other types.
I have narrowed my selections to the following and would like opinions on these. Among my main concerns are how are thse cans going to sound decent through the U3? I.e. will the be efficient enough?
$105.00 AKG K81DJ
$160.00 Senn HD280 Pro
$135.00 ATH-A500
I'd like something with decent bass and don't mind it being bass heavy, as long as the highs are not too high and the mids are there. Price is a setback and I can't go any higher than this.
I appreciate any and all feedback. Thanks!
