Hi,

so finally the ipod virus struck me, too. Now I am looking for really good portalbe cans for my new G5 HD Ipod.

Recommendations and impressions highly welcome

Thankx in advance

Shure's e4c

Well, what kind of music do you listen to? I have a recommendation (

) but it may not be for you, depending on your tastes.

You could probably find some shure E5c's pretty cheap now.

Straight out of the iPod (no amp) Grado SR-60's work great.

Another option would be Etymotic ER-4P for IEMs.

With an amp you can use almost any cans you want.

The white iGrado of course!

You'll have to kick the volume up to 70/80% but the AKG K81DJ's sound really good out of my 5G iPod video.

E500s and Superfi 5 pros both sound good unamped from an ipod. Depends on how much you want to spend since one sounds a lot better but also costs a lot more then the other. And I believe by saying cans you may mean "not iems". If so disregard this post.

Really, the ipod 5G is just the same as any other player with a fairly flat frequency response. Just read up on your headphones, decide whether you're getting an amp, and if not avoid those that obviously need an amp - HD650, DT880, K701 - and choose one.

Hi,

so far so good. I think I give the shure a try. I do have a portable amp (Larocco PR2) but I want the Ipod more for really portable use (bus, train ourdoor). So I thinkt portable cans should do for the moment.

Many thanks again
