Howdy all,
I need help. I've searched and read the archives (rinse, repeat) and can't quite find what I'm looking for. I'm wondering what the great Head-Fi gurus recommend.
I'm probably being way too picky, but here's my Wish List:
1. Low impedance (Source is a MacBook Pro, no amp - I want to keep things simple and portable, so no outboard amp)
2. Circumaural (open or closed, either is fine). My ear parts are way too sensitive, so IED and Supras are out.
3. Velvet-y pads -- no pleather allowed
4. 1/8 plug -- I can't handle the 1/4->1/8 adapter hanging off the laptop, and no - I don't want to use the Grado adapter thingy.
5. Good, solid bass reproduction
6. Budget is $150-$400
7. Preferably not made in China
Do such beasts exist?
