Hi,
I ran into little bit of problems with my audio gear this spring. I'm quite new to Hi-Fi headphones and thus I need pointers and a little bit of help.
Normally I use my Grados with my desktop LD MKII and as portable headphones with my Galaxy S3. But this spring I ran into problems since my Peltor radio protectors aren't producing any listenable sound anymore. I do love the open sound of Grados but I understand I cannot get the same feeling with closed HPs or IEMs.
The question is: What kind of Isolating Headphones (at least 25dB noise reduction) or IEMs would work while driving Massey Ferguson around the fields?
- Is there a decent sounding headphones with at least 25dB noise reduction?
- Are there any limitations how IEMs work with hearing protection? Do they need free air behind them?
- There is a lot of dust and debris involved. Will isolated headphones survive the crazy amount of dust?
The main audio source would still be my Galaxy S3 so the headphones would have to be easy to drive. Budget range is around $150 USD (can be a bit more or less).
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Johny
