Please compare the following headphones


I am considering the following headphones:
AKG K 240 Studio
AKG K 271 Studio
Sennheiser HD 280 Pro
Sennheiser HD 600
I would imagine that the HD 600s are in a different league. These phones will be primarily used in a portable system consisting of an ipod and a Antique Sound Lab or Musical Fidelity headphone amp and I don't know if this type of use benifits from the HD 600s. Thanks for any help that you can provide.

ok been throught this alot. First ck out headfi.com That is where you want to be looking. Of what you are looking at the 600 are the best. But also take alot of power that a ipod can't provide to make them sing. You will get much better results if you use a headphone amp with them. If you want a bigger headphone I highly recomend the a-900 I had a set for a while, the bass is easy to drive which is the ipods needs. Also clear and the best bang for the buck just limited distributers in the US. Are you using this at home, work or do you need it portable? What is your price range I can better give you advice.

A headphone amp really makes the ipod sound about 35% better, much more than running uncompressed music, the ipod seems to have a lock up issue with big files.
