Hi,
I need a good sealed headphone. I'm looking at the senn hd25 and the AKG 271 ST. I need em' to work unamped (Source notebook & Pc). I have a hd595. Like the sound of it, searching for something similar, but with sealed design.
which one would you choose?

i don't know about the AKG, but the HD 25-1's have a more exaggerated sound than the 595's and a much smaller soundstage. i enjoy both, even though the 595's provide a lot more refinement.

Have you looked at the Audio-Technica range? They are experts when it comes to closed designs.

I don't think the K271 is a good choice if you are planning to use them without an amp.

The AT line for me is unavailable, because i live in hungary. Thatswhy i mentioned theese headphones, because i can get theese without any trouble (ordering etc)

just found a store which is selling k81 dj... shoul this phone suit my needs?

The K81DJ can be power-hungry and works better with an amp (it'll drain any portable devices you have faster than other headphones). As long as your source is AC-powered though, it should be fine.

You might also consider the Audio Technica ATH-FC7, Sony MDR-V6, or Sennheiser HD 280.

Thanx for the answers.. My last question is, how does the soundstage compare of the k81dj compare to the hd595?

 

[Cousin Patty]

What about the a900? Isnt that on par with the 595 but in a closed design?

I'm burning in the k81 dj. I'm happy with theese phones. I'm curious how the sound will change after 100+ hours of music.
Thanx for your posts!
