I was assigned to pick up a headphone for my girlfriend's iPod Nano, the goal is pretty simple: observable better than the original Apple earphone. Her 16GB nano is full of Michael Jackson's songs in recent months (and next few months, I guess), major used at home or on the way walking to office.
Currently I narrowed down the selections to these Sennheiser headphones. Yesterday we listened to some headphones in Sennheiser's shop, she likes HD555 a lot but its line is too long. She doesn't like the highly recommended PX200 at all, and thinks HD228 sounds better than PX100 for its bass (we are both newbies to headphones
), but we forgot to try HD238. I read some topics related with HD228/238 but still can't make a decision based on them. Looks like HD228 has a better style (the white version only), but its frequency response (http://www.headphone.com/headphones/...ser-hd-228.php) is not as precise as HD238 (Sennheiser HD 238 - Headphones | HeadRoom Audio).
HD228:
+ The white version looks more stylish
+ Sound isolation (-8dB only, not quite good)
HD238:
+ Better sound perhaps?
So the question is: Which one is better for my case (in your opinion)? for a iPod Nano (without amp) and optimized for MJ's songs? Thanks a lot in advance!
