I posted something like this earlier, and i got a lot of people saying get canalphones for your ipod instead of HD555s with amp. I cant get the canalphones because i am only 13 and my parents get mad when i cant hear them because of headphones. Anybody recommend any open headphones for ipod? i dont care how portable they are, it is not important to me, but i need good SQ. up to $150.

If you dont care about portability a cmoy and a pair of AKG K240's would be quite nice. You arent going to get the most out of the amp unless you get a sik imp or whatever to give your ipod a line out.

You don't need to start a new thread for this, I replied to your last one and all you needed to do was clarify your requirements and people would have made more suggestions.

Since you said in your other thread that you liked rock I'd say go for a used Grado SR-225 or an Alessandro MS-1. They're suppost to be great for rock, and are completely open so you can hear everything going on around you. Though they do leak sound a lot (one person has described it as "strapping cheap multimedia speakers on your ears, facing outward") so you may want to take that into consideration. For a closed can which won't leak very much, but still doesn't completely isolate you, the Sennheiser HD25-1 is pretty good, and in your price range.

You're best off just making a new post, otherwise people won't realise you've changed your initial post.

Do a head-fi search for 555, you'll get loads of responses. Perhaps limit the search to the "full reviews" subforum of headphones.
