It's AceKaiser here, and usually I just registered on Geekzone and hope I can get your advice!
Anyway, recently during a business trip overseas my iPod's earphone cable got caught under a restaurant chair while I was getting up, and now they're a bit screwed, I have to twist the jack into my ipod to drop it from squeaking and stuff, and my earphones I guess, are a little old and are the ones I got my precious nano ages years ago.
So yeah, you know. I'm not rich and neither have I been sucked in by consumerism
Right now, I've turned semi-audiophile, with a 16 channel mixer at home and some decent speakers, I also do some work outside for small events etc and I've been encouraged to get some headphones for myself to help me monitor sound levels for my jobs outside and well, ads to my 'pro look' haha :)
The problem is now, I will need this for different sources, and my mate who's an experienced DJ says going for good quality headphones will kill it on my ipod because it doesn't have a good power source, and getting something lower-end will suit my iPod more, but not the sound desk, my amp or anything else (apart form my iPod) the price isn't that far away either, my friend's Sennheiser PX100 cost him $80 while HD415s are $85.
So now, I'm on a relatively tight budget, a no-no to getting two pairs, and to me earphones are flimsy (I don't buy them, I only use those that come with whatever I buy) and both my iPod and my sound involvement out and about are equally important.
What could I do?
I have been eying headphones such as the Sennheiser HD515, 415, eH250, HD465/85 and a few others, many people simply say 'Sennheiser is the best'...
"Which one?"
"dont know whatever, they're all good"
wtf, that's not what I want to know...
so audiophiles & sound experts alike, I'd like to hear all your opinions
EDIT: NO IM NOT A DJ Not for now, at least
