Looking for info on headphones


Hello all

I'm curiously interested in getting a pair of headphones.

The problem is I only know where they are supposed to rest wile in action and that's about it...

My aim is not to replace any speakers... just for a change of pace... now and then.

Neither do I want to make a large investment, just sufficient to realize very good sonics.

Is this all possible for say $200 or so?

Lastly... does the aspect of high or low impedance matter?

I'll probably just plug them into a receiver unless there are some which have other than quarter inch jacks as interfaces.

Thanks very much...

Jim- YOu will hear not hear the fridge, you will hear the puppy (have you tried feeding him doggie downers? grin). As far as the Scuds go, they fall silently; its the patriot missile blasting off next door that you will hear ;~)

Casa Boom Boom has been eriely quiet lately. they're probably massing for an attack on my aural system.... but of late, are doing far better... except for "... the little dog too" aspect.

If I could just figure out how to extract that Ever Ready battery from her uh, whereever.... I'd be a happy camper again! She's a pill.

Hopefully these AKC cans will be good enough till I can do an HP amp.

Jim- Maybe you can just get the neigbors to lay off on the "puppy-uppers". Headphones are very personal. I like 'em but some don't. A headphone amp will make a big difference. Enjoy.
