Best Over the Head Headphones for Block

i thought i knew jimi hendrix's albums by heart, but it was like listening to a new track with these on.

amps are great, but it's great not to need one as your mp3 portable or cd player will do rather nicely.

with music: i had trouble hearing any noise outside the music, it was almost completely silent...i could turn my ipod down to around 25% of max volume and could hear every instrument and then some.

overall, turning on the switch was the same as putting in earplugs, except that when you turn on your ipod it sounds a lot better.

in terms of quality, i can't really list anything technical but i've worn a lot of headphones and the quality from these whether you're listening to a 128mbps file on an ipod, a 320 file on an ipod

you won't see me walking around public with these on.

although they are very light and flexible, you can tell they are still built well and are farily sturdy.

i am able to accurately track my enemies without ever needing to see them, their footsteps work just fine ;).

sennheiser has superior sound when you set to the right ipod eq setting.

yet it does hurt after wearing it for a while if you have big ears like me.also be prepared to take the headphones off every once in a while to wipe the sweat accumulating on your ear lobes!

there is only so much amplification you can get out of an ipod without a headphone amp.

also use them with an ipod and makes the crappy compressed music sound as good as it can be.

the phones work great with an unamped ipod or nicer amped source like a high end sound card with a high impedance headphone amp.

it seems to me that this is almost totally related to using these headphones with ipods or small portable cd/dvd players.

oh, they seem super sturdy and i've almost tossed them around a bit and them haven't cracked or made any sign of breaking.

these headphones also sound very well on my 8g walkman, without an amp.
