Best headphones you've ever heard/used
For portability and quality for the $ I like the Koss SportaPro or the PortaPro. I've had both and don't hear much of a difference between the two, so I recommend going for the less expensive one (all portable headphones break over time). They fold nicely and sound pretty damn good. I use them daily on my commute to work. Enjoy, Bob |
For the iPod on the plane, you might try one of the Etymotic earphones. I have a pair of the lower priced ER-6's that have worked well for me on planes w/iPod. I understand there is now a special 6i model just for iPods (don't know if there are any real differences from the 6). There are also more expensive versions. Haven't tried the Shure's but generally same idea. |
I have a 40G iPod and many pairs of headphone of different types. For nighttime listening, I like the Sennheiser HD-650. Many people will tell you that iPod cannot drive the Sennheiser but it is just not true unless you like to listen to heavy metal at 100db. The HD-650 is not as light as ear plugs but it is very comfortable to wear for long time. I highly recommend it to be used with an iPod, especially if you like classical, female vocal, and jazz. |
