Headphones

[Algere]

I have the Vibrating Headphones

What's the purpose of vibrating headphones? Ear massagers?

Senn HD-580's.

I bought em at Amazon for about $150 new (they're around $190 now). They're simply amazing for the price range. They sound even better amped (so I doubt your ipod would push these hard).

I use a stereo to RCA adapter to plug my speakerout port from my PC to a bookshelf stereo system I have to quasi amp these.

Listening to Sasha - Involver in utter bliss as we speak.

Very very very highly recommended if you're not looking for something portable.

Super comfy, I wear em for 4-5 hours when I'm working/studying and never tire.

J&R has the 580's for $160, free shipping. I was shopping a few weeks ago and got the price on it (you have to enter your email address to get themt o show the price)

They vibrate to give the sensation of more bass. It works too.

I had a few portables that came with vibrating headphones, even bought a set that work with any source. They just gave me massive headaches.

Negative. The V6s on the other hand are good.

I think I'm going for the A900's. Thanks for all your help!

Good choice. I had a pleasant experience with audiocubes. I love my A500s.

These MS2s fall within your price range, yet do not require an amp to sound great. They are merely tweaked Grado SR225s. Or, if you need a larger soundstage, the Sennheiser HD595s are supposed to be excellent.

Actually they are tweaked Grado SR325's. The MS2's share the aluminum chambers of the SR325 but lack the harsh/shrill highs.

LOL, those are largely considered one of the worst headphones that Sony makes! Seriously.

However, if you have them and are happy with them...more power to you.

Great choice. The A900 is a great all-around headphone that doesn't so much excel in one single category as it just does everything pretty well. It's easily powered without an amp and will sound great with nearly any type of music.

The Senn HD 580 also sounds wonderful but (as has been said) they improve tremendously with an amp and you'll need a good headamp to really make them shine and get the most out of them.

THe only reason why i'm giong with the a900 is because i am planning to go ampless and i was informed that these are the best you can do for the price range and quality. (AMPless of course)

I have a pair of Sennheiser EH2200, I think they were only $80, they're awesome though.

Go to www.headphone.com for all could possibly want for headphones.
