Closed headphones for un-amped Zune 120

[wildebassman]

OK fellas, please help out, I need closed cans for my Zune 120,
it's un-amped.. Which phones work and sound well on the Zune.
I listen to lots of different styles of music so I guess they'll have to be fairly allround and efficient.

Cheers,

Dennis.

If a little money isn't a problem, go for HFI-780s. They'll be awesome.

Music preferences? Budget?

Grado is a stock and a good answer.

No doubt, Senn HD-25-1 - sounds GREAT out of a Zune.

Sorry to jump in on the thread, but I have the same question. I have a pair of Grado SR-80's and Shure E2C's, but I'd like a closed-back pair of fullsize cans to use with my iPhone on long trips and such. The E2Cs aren't as comfortable and the SR-80's make everyone else listen to my music. I'm just looking for good quality (obviously limited by the iPhone), fairly attractive, and something around $100, maybe up to $150 if there's compelling reason.

I second this opinion. The 780's sound great unamped from my Zune80.

BluesDaddy's suggestion of the HD25-1 is a good one also, but the 780 is a notch above in SQ, even with recabling options on HD25.

Not closed, though, unfortunately.

If there is no budget and no fear of losing them, you could go for the edition 9

. Sounds great out of an ipod (I suppose zune should be about the same) and can go to dangerously loud level without amp, aren't really big and they isolate well.
