Best Sealed/Full-Sized/Balanced Headphones for iPo


I'm not a big fan of putting things into my ears, unless it's my finger. I've been using the B&O A8 earphones for some time now but really want something that fits around my ear, rather than goes into my ear. I also want to be able to use it with my iPod, preferably without having to get an amp. I'm open to suggestions though.

I was at the Apple store yesterday and listened to the Bose around-ear headphones and thought they were quite nice. Then someone whispered in my ear: "No highs, no lows, must be Bose."

At one point, during a daydream, I thought about getting the AKG 701s, a Simple iPod amp and calling it a day. I'm a software engineer and work in a cubeless environment so it would be rude of me to force others to listen to my music.

Thoughts, hazings and suggestions are always welcome.

Thanks,

Jon

agree with swampwalker. consider one of the Ray Samuels Audio amps or the Yamamoto tube headphone amp with Grado RS-1s. I have used this equipment and was very happy with it. Some will swear by AKG, but I prefer the RS-1s.
