Guys! I know I am comparing between two different kinds of earphones, but I have a simple question. Which one of these sounds better, Sennheiser HD280 Pro or  Klipsch X10 when you listen to them directly from a laptop?

I haven't heard Klipsch X10 before, but the HD-280s sound decent directly from most laptops I have tried. The Klipsch X10 seem to be more bass heavy than the HD-280s

Well, it looks like the Klipsch are a bit less sensitive yet have a slightly lower impedance than the HD280s. One could assume that the Klipsch would be better suited for a laptop or MP3 player or something, being the style of headphone they are. However, I have an HD280, and they do work well enough from a laptop or MP3 player. In fact, they didn't seem to improve much with any of the amps or receivers I've tried them with, either. Although, I wasn't really a fan of their sound, but that's just my opinion of them.
