I previously had owned $40 Sennheiser HD 202 and used them with a Nokia smartphone with an absolutely puny audiochip. Then I decided to go beginner audiophile and got an iPod classic with a Cirrus audiochip the sound of which I consider to be quite nice yet too heavy on bass and therefore sometimes annoying which I think might be the problem of the Sennheisers not the iPod. Anyway, now I'm willing to spend about $200-$350 for a good pair of cans that will push the iPod to its maximum capabilities. Oh, and the headphones must be portable, so I can wear them on the street. (not too ugly-looking neither)
So I considered the Sennheiser HD 25-II which cost about $300 in my country, and thought it was a pretty nice pick until I stumbled upon a review that said that they're absolutely not recommended for use with devices with Cirrus audiochips, because they (the headphones) are too "reversive" for that.
I'd go out to a shop and check them out myself, but no shop in my city seems to be selling those ones particularly.
And now I just can't figure out what should I buy. Should I buy the Sennheiser HD 25-1-II? I know the iPod is not exactly the hi-fi player out there, but will the combination be enjoyable anyway? And how much the difference between $40 and $300 headphones will be on the iPod? Considering that I actually have some ears.
