Hi all…I need some advise.
A couple of months ago I bought an iPod. The first thing I did after I got home was to purchase a pair of PX200s based on Amazon.com user reviews. While the PX200s are Ok, I find that they are a little bass weak and a tad uncomfortable to be used on a daily basis. I will probably use them on long trips since they are quite portable. I need new phones.
I’m looking for circumaural cans (not more than $200) that can be efficiently powered by the ipod without amplification.
My top choices until I saw them in person:
Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
Sony MDR-V600
Sennheiser HD 555
All of the above are too darn big and heavy. After further research, the Beyerdynamic DT 231s or the AKG K271s (are these circumaural?) look good.
I have not been able to find a store where I can hear them in person, so I have to rely on your opinions. What do you guys think? Any other circumaural cans out there that are not too bulky or heavy and can be powered by a portable device?
