Hey I am looking for some new cans. I currently only have some DT990 pro 250 Ohms.
 
I am looking for something that I can use at home, on vacations, in the car with my iPod, etc. I don't care if there is some difference in sound quality between my home rig and my iPod, I just need good headphones for a wider variety of uses than my DT990's.
 
I have a budget of about 200$ to spend on these. I can go a little over but not too much
 
I am into clean, extending, bass, not thundering bass, but clean bass with extension way down low. I LOVE mids, and I like my crystal highs.
 
Any and all recommendations are appreciated!
 
Thanks!

I was looking at some of the V-moda cans, they look great! Anyone listened to the LP-2's?

The Ultrasone Pro900 are recommended and they offers deep punchy bass with detailed mids, highs and large soundstage.

I was really looking at these, but I can afford them, 500$.
 
My budget is about 200$

The Ultrasone Pro 750 have gone down to $225 (U.S.) on Amazon in recent days.  Their little brother the HiFi 780 is under $200.  For more about each, check out the buying guides linked in the first post of the Recommendations thread.

What about the ultrasone HFI-2400 ?
 
Would they work OK with an iPod touch? Or do they absolutely need an amp? I have an E9 paired with a xonar DG for my home setup so at home I am good, but for on the road and using them on vacations I would only have my iPod. How will they fair in that regard?

Well, Any suggestions people?

I have the denon 2000 which are a really good complement to the Beyers. Give 'em a look.

 

[powerdpower]

That is a wee bit over my price range

 
Wish I could spend more. but only about 200-250$

You can get them for $210 shipped from jr.com. Just call in and tell them that a friend got them for that price and you like to know if they will match it. They will

 

[powerdpower]

Did you buy yours from that site? Are they trustworthy?
 
Also, question, will these work for situations like in the car, and taking on vacations and using them unamped w/ an iPod touch or laptop?

 

[MattTCG]

Trusted site. Good customer service. Would certainly buy from again...
 
 
good luck!!

J & R has been around for a very long time.  I have done much on line business with them.  Recommended.
 
The D2000 are a very efficient 25 ohms, so they should work--provided you don't mind their size and the long, thick cord.  I don't use them as a portable can--so can not tell you from personal experience.
 

 

[powerdpower]

So can anyone recommend me some more portable ones? How would the Ultrasone HFI-2400 be?

You can't go wrong with Audio Technica M50 at $150.
