Which headphones should be purchased?


Which headphones are your favorites and why? What do they do well that others do not. I am looking for a pair of Headphones that I can take on a train or plane, so closed is probably the way I want to go. I have a pair of HD 600s and love them, but I can't use them in public. How are the Bose in comparison to others, I have heard great things, but not from audiophiles, thanks for your help.

I wouldn't consider the Bose fo a moment. Try one the Etymotic ER-4 series and a headroom amplifier and your'e in business!
I have the Sony MDR 7506 phones (same or very similar to the Sony MDR V6). They are very efficient and sound great (they can be somewhat too powerful on bass, though).

I also own the Sennheiser HD 600 and agree with your review.
I am using Grado SR 125 headphones with a Musical Fidelity head amp. The combo sounds very, very nice; so much so that I find myself using this more often when listening alone than the tube amp and speakers. Good stuff.
