    Headphones tested on my fellow Drawing and Image Making Students.

    This wasn’t supposed to be a test, but with most of the headphones being around the same (UK) price range, I thought it would be interesting to see which headphones they would take home. The headphone list includes:

    Portable cans

    Sennheier PX100
    Grado iGrado
    Ultrasone iCans

    Full size cans - all around the £40

    Kam KHP 1500
    Denon AH-D301
    Sennheiser HD212
    AKG K518

    High end

    Sennheiser HD650 - they all loved them

    Headphone amp

    Cmoy - Penguin Royal Amp - nice piece of kit!

    Natalie

    natasha-denon-ah-d301.JPGnatasha-igrado.JPGnatasha-with-kam-khp-1500.JPGnatasha-with-sennheiser-hd650.JPG

    Natalie liked the Sennheiser HD650’s of course, and the Denon AH-D301. She also took a liking to the Grado iGrado’s. The Kam KHP 1500 headphones were a bit too heavy (weight) for her. Can’t remember what Natalie said about the AKG’s.

    Jamie

    jamie-akg-k518-headphones.JPGjamie-denon-ah-301.JPGjamie-icans.JPGjamie-sennheiser-hd650.JPGjamie-kam-khp-1500.JPG

    Jamie loved the Kam KHP 1500 headphones, and spent most of his time with them. He said that he preferred the bass on his Sennheiser HD202, than the HD212. The AKG K518 were too heavy in the bass for him. Jamie didn’t think much of the Denon’s. But one surprise was that Jamie liked the Ultrasone iCans!

    Lee

    Grado S60 or Grado iGrado? They’re going for the same price!

    grado-sr60.jpg

    igrado-2.jpg

    Amazon have got a pair of Uused Grado SR60’s again, going for the same price as a pair of iGrado’s. That’s right, they’re going for $49.99. I know we’re entering a credit crunch, but compared to what we in the UK pay for the SR60 headphones, $49.99 is silly money. Hurry up and grab them now!

    I’m absolutely disgusted that no one has bought these yet!

    So you’re all willing to overbid on ebay for a pair of used headphones, but you won’t accept a simple price reduction. Where’s your head at?

    Can you tell I’m a little bit vexed?

    I put a post up over two weeks ago about these (like new) Grado Sr60 headphones, and no one has bought them yet. Do you realize that the cheapest deal I’ve ever found in the UK for a pair of SR60’s was £52, and that was a rare one off deal. There’s this rare used pair for £57.00 on amazon.co.uk at the moment. So you guys in the U.S. are quibbling over $59, and we in the UK are having to pay $112.86.

    57.00 GBP

    =

    112.868 USD

    Stop being so tight fisted, get your credit card out, and buy this pair of Grado SR60, and think yourself lucky you don’t have to pay the same price we in the UK do!

    A chance to grab yourself a Sennheiser PX100, Sennheiser PX200, Koss Porta pro beating pair of headphones.

    Yes, the iGrado’s are neckband headphones, but don’t let that shadow the FACT that these will slaughter the competition. The headphones on offer have no packaging, but don’t worry because your not missing out. The packet is a vacuum pack thing with a nice shiny piece of card with ‘iGrado’ written on it basically.

    You’ll miss out on the packaging, big deal!

    igrado-in-the-box.JPG

    • No 6.5mm jack
    • No fancy carrying pouch
    • No replacement ear pads. Not that you need them. These aren’t the PX100’s you know!
    • No removable, replaceable or retractable cable
    • No hula girl waiting to throw a flower necklace over your head, in celebration of your choice

    All that money has been poured into the sound, and you’ll know it when your hear them.

    iGrado For Over Double The U. S. Price

    Anyone familiar with headphonedeals.org knows how enthusiastic we are about the Grado iGrado. Far better than the Sennheiser twins in every area. Far better, and more controlled bass, pin-sharp midrange, and a nice top end. However when I first saw this bid (click the link), I was fuming at why people were bidding so high.

    After a quick bit of research on google.de, I quickly realized that on the continent, the RRP for the Grado is 78 euros. If You have a quick check on any currency converter, (today’s exchange rate) that’s equal to $115.519 or £58.467. Now, that’s expensive in anyone’s book!

    So what can we do to help our fellow European headphone enthusiasts? So far, i’m not sure, because this is my first day on the case, but I’m going to try an find a price deal or a merchant that’ll ship to Europe, to try and get the cost down. I bought mine from www.iheadphones.co.uk for around £29.99, if my memory serves me right.

    To anyone living on the European Continent, so far the best deal I can find is from iheadphones, and it’ll cost £42.98 including shipping, which is a saving of around £15.48 or just over 20.00 euros. It’s a start! I’ll keep onto it, but if you are having trouble getting what you think is a reasonable price, then contact us on the forum.

    As for those bidding on these, I wish you the best of luck, they are fabulous headphones.

    With all the holidays coming (Catholic & Orthodox Christmas, New Year, Saturnalia, whatnot…), a bit of reference for headphone prices ought to help.

    Headphones are a great gift - hardly anything is as enjoyed by anyone as music, and many good headphones can bring joy, revealing details that were previously unnoticeable, and revealing the true power, energy of music.

    Grado headphones have long been a staple for rock, jazz & blues listeners.


    SR-60 have been considered one of the best values for money and one of the best choices for a portable player or listening without an amp.


    SR-80 are a tad more expensive, but they’re also more comfortable, with larger ear cushions, and have a 4-conductor cable, which improves sounding.


    Alessandro MS-1 are a custom-tuned version of the SR-80 produced by Alessandro, a New York-based company specialising in guitar amps and gear. Those are considered to be the best headphones at $100 mark for guitar listening (anything with an electric guitar - metal, rock, even jazz and blues).


    IGrado are Grado’s newest product, and one that isn’t entirely made in the USA. The IGrado are a behind-the-neck design with SR-60 drivers. As the name indicates, they are aimed to work with portable players.
    All Grado headphones are ventilated.

    SR-60, for sale at Amazon.com, US$ 69: listing 1;listing 2.
    SR-80, for sale at Amazon.com, US$ 95.
    Alessandro MS-1 are sold by the Alessandro High-End Products via their website, price is US$100, shipping anywhere in the world included.
    IGrado, for sale at Amazon.com, US$ 49, black, white, and once again white.

    Denon doesn’t advertise itself much, but Denon is the oldest Japanese hi-fi maker (dating back almost a century, according to their own history).


    Denon AH-D550 is the current entry-level model, with a modest price, but said to produce a “closed Grado SR-60 sounding”. Their low impedance and good sensitivity mean they’ll work well with anything - portable players, notebook computers, and of course amplifiers. A great gift for anyone, both for the receiver and for the producer of gift, especially by the price.

    On sale at EBay: $20, from the World Wide Stereo store.

    Note that shipping fees vary, so one store’s total price might turn out to be less than that of another.

    Denon AH-D1000 High Quality On-Ear Headphones
    Denon AH-D1000 are a step up in closed headphones, and quite possibly the best gift for someone who’s already owned hi-fi headphones. Again, those are an excellent value for money, and will bring out the smile in an audiophile.

    On sale at Audiocubes: $150, Denon AH-D1000 High Quality On-Ear Headphones, silver/black.
    On sale at Amazon.com: $100, Denon AH-D1000K Headphones (Black), Denon AH-D1000S Headphones (Silver).

    Denon AH-D5000 Reference Audio Over-Ear Headphones
    Denon AH-D5000 are the current top-of-the-line offering from Denon, closed headphones with mahogany enclosures, wide frequency bandwidth, and a sound reproduction everyone loves. That is the kind of gift which, while expensive ($500), can turn an enemy into a friend, and a friend into a lover.

    On sale at Audiocubes: $490, Denon AH-D5000 Reference Audio Over-Ear Headphones.
    On sale at Amazon.com: $489.53Denon AH-D5000 Reference Headphones.

    Denon AH-C700 Stereo Earphones
    Denon AH-C700 are the canalphone, in-ear model. It is a perfect match to any portable player. They have been compared to many high-end canalphones, and there are few that can compete in sound quality; as usual with Denon products, those cost a deal less than the competition.

    On sale at Audiocubes: $170, Denon AH-C700 Stereo Earphones, silver/black.
    On sale at Amazon.com (low price!): $99.99, Denon AH-C700K (black) , Denon AH-C700K Reference Audio In-Ear Headphones (Black).

    AKG is an Austrian company producing professional sound recording equipment. AKG microphones and headphones have long been loved by professionals for their warm, yet concise and transparent sounding. AKG is famous for a musical sound signature with warm, open midrange and clean, yet unfatiguing treble.


    The K-81DJ (K-518DJ in the new designation) are an appreciable gift, especially for a teenager or an aspiring DJ. Stylish looks, rubberised, durable paint, foldable and swivelling cups, a good efficiency and 32-ohm impedance. Sealed. They can be somewhat bass-heavy though - but for electronic music, this means they’ll be capable of reproducing even the heaviest analogue synth instruments, and low frequencies can always be toned down with equalisation.

    On sale at Amazon.com: $60, AKG Closed-Back Foldable DJ Headphones - K-81DJ.


    K-171 and -141 Studio are closed and semi-open supra-aural (against-the-ear) mini-sized headphones. Those are headphones often used by female singers and pop stars, and could make a refined gift for anyone of the fair sex.

    On sale at Amazon.com: AKG K-141 Studio Headphones, $99; AKG K-171 Studio headphones, $137.33.


    K-24P (K-412P), K-26P (K-414P) and K-27i (K-416P) are the current “mini” portable models. K-24P (K-412P) are open headphones with a full, forward, even bright sounding. Some classical music listeners love those as a portable set, as they present instruments with a good deal of clarity and excitement. K-26P (K-414P) and K-27i (K-416P) are the closed models, different in looks (mostly black for K-26P, and white for K-27i). They’re really the same model, except the K-27i (K-416P) has an inline volume control and comes in a box instead of a blister pack. K-27/K-26 are sealed headphones, providing a decent amount of isolation, and therefore appreciated by a city person who has to commute.

    On sale at Amazon.com: AKG K-27i Closed-Back Headphones, $40; AKG Acoustics K-26P Foldable Stereo Folding Headphones, $37; AKG Semi-Open Foldable Headphones - K-24P, $29.11.


    The K-240 Studio model is a derivation of the K-240 Monitor, a classic model commonly used at radio stations and in studios. The K-240 Studio are a more efficient version, rated at 55 ohms (against the old model’s 600), and have a 55-mm diaphragm. The K-240S are especially great for acoustic music, like jazz and classical music (a friend once admitted the first time he tried the K-240 in a store, he mistook piano for one being played in the same room), but deal well with anything they’re fed. At the $100-130 mark, those are perhaps the best choice among full-sized headphones, together with Equation Audio RP-21 and Denon AH-D1000. With a headphone amp, the K-240 become the ultimate portable headphone set, too.

    On sale at Amazon.com: $96, AKG K-240 Studio Semi-open Headphones.


    K-271 Studio, while more expensive than the K-240 Studio, are perhaps one of the best sealed models in the market. They don’t have the same bass response as the K-240, but have a somewhat more refined sounding, with more detail in the midrange and high frequencies (some would say “astonishing” for closed headphones). The K-271 Studio require a headphone amplifier to reproduce sound properly; they will work without one, but a lot of detail will be missing.

    On sale at Amazon.com: AKG K-271 Studio, $154.

    Pioneer has recently launched new models.

    Pioneer SE-MJ3B Portable Headphones
    SE-MJ30 are a portable supra-aural (on-ear) model, with a fashionable black-red-reflective metal design. Highly efficient, those headphones are a rival to IGrado and the “portable” AKG models, and have the Pioneer signature warm-and-detailed sounding.

    On sale at Audiocubes: $46, Pioneer SE-MJ3B Portable Headphones.

    Pioneer SE-M390 Portable Headphones
    Pioneer SE-M390 are the “more serious” portable model, semi-open circumaural (around-the-ear) headphones. For the price, they look like quite the performer.

    On sale at Audiocubes: $56, Pioneer SE-M390 Portable Headphones.

    Audio-Technica ATH-A900 Art Headphones
    Audio-Technica’s ATH-A900 are perhaps the best, richest- and fullest-sounding closed headphones in the under-$200 category. They perform equally well as gaming, home theatre, or musical headphones. The -A900 are also very forgiving of the source - they can work just as well with a portable player as with a home stereo system.

    On sale at Audiocubes: Audio-Technica ATH-A900 Art Headphones, $180.

    Now that’s what I call a portable headphone amp. Welcome to the IASUS MOBILE AMP review.

    iasus-mobile-amp-sound-system.jpgiasus-mobile-amp-and-ipos-shufffle-size-comparison.JPG

    What kind of influence will the IASUS headphone amp have on your headphones?

    How will it compare with The Go-Vibe V5 headphone amp?

    Those were the only two answers that I wanted to know from the IASUS MOBILE AMP. Will the IASUS AMP put its own spin on how the music sounds, as much as the Go-Vibe V5 does, and with the size and slight price difference, will it be a viable alternative to the Go-Vibe?


    Maybe it’s wrong of me to go into such depth with the IASUS MOBILE AMP, because of the nature of IASUS products. IASUS CONCEPTS began by producing throat mics for elite military forces. However, the MOBILE AMP seems to be one of the only products for a wider application.


    Size doesn’t matter; it’s what you do with it!


    IASUS boasts that this is the “The world’s smallest and lightest hi-fidelity amplifier for mobile devices.” I have to say; it is tiny. Barely bigger than the current IPod shuffle, you be amazed at how small and lightweight this thing really is. This can only be another plus point when considering the MOBILE AMP for your portable headphones needs.


    It makes the Go-vibe look huge and bulky. In terms of size, there’s no real competition, the IASUS MOBILE AMP wins hands down when it comes to size and convenience. As you know I’m not the person to go pulling my stuff apart for the sake of modding, so I’ll leave the ‘internal pictures’ to someone who’s more knowledgeable and braver than me.


    Features


    Design, this is my area! It’s a neat looking thing. I particularly love the volume control. Sleek and stylish, there’s no argument. There is a tiny (and it is small) ‘IASUS’ logo under the volume control, but you’ll need a magnifying glass to see it properly.


    There’s a handy loop at the front, for those of you who would want to hang it the end of a lanyard or at a push on your key-ring. I’m planning on buying a lanyard exactly for this purpose, because I’ve found the MOBILE AMP handy to have around the campus, and especially whilst I’m doing my artwork.


    With the package you get the following:


    • Your MOBILE AMP; of course, complete with a built-in connection cable, for hooking up to your audio device.


    • Set of instructions, which is simple and easy to read.


    • Plug for recharging.


    • Twin 3.5mm female headphones adaptor, so you can share your music with someone with another pair of headphones, you kind person you!


    That’s enough for you to be getting on with I think, and it’s a nice little package.

    For the modders however, I get a feeling that the connection cable is a little low grade. Now at this point, I’m not encouraging anyone to take the amp apart and refit it with a cable, but in the world of modding, this is exactly what I can see people doing with the IASUS AMP.


    The amp took around 2 hours to give it a full charge initially, and with an average day’s use, it’ll take less than that, to bring it up to full charge. In this day and age, it’s about the usual time.


    So let’s get down to the nitty-gritty!


    Lets answer the question, do you need a headphone amp? The answer is no, but there’s a but. Any headphones will emit sound of you plug them into a source. For the sake of portable use however, your headphones need a fair bit of power. When you take a look at players like my ipod Shuffle, you can see that it has to play music, flash a few LED’s now and then, and provide enough power to get the coils in your drivers moving enough to satisfy your volume needs.


    In the case of volume, for my personal preference, there just isn’t enough. And once you get into a noisy atmosphere, you’ll need even more volume to compensate, for the ambient noise. And no talk of noise-cancelling headphones please, ‘noise cancelling’ is a swear word on Headphonedeals.


    IEMs are a little better at cutting ambient noise, but still a little more volume maybe needed, more than your MP3 player can pump out, poor thing! So this is where a portable headphone amp like the IASUS comes in. It can boost the volume of your player.


    The other argument for having a dedicated portable headphone amp, is to stretch out the power of your MP3 player, by allowing the amp to take provide the volume instead of your player, thus saving your player’s valuable power consumption.
    So the answer is no-one needs an amp, but there are immediate advantages to having one.


    The other main question is “will it make my music sound better?” Let’s try it out. iGrado, Ultimate Ears Metro.Fi 2 and the Ultrasone Proline 750 headphones I think.


    Without the IASUS, With the IASUS. Speed Of Sound - Coldplay and The Creeps - Camille Jones, Fedde Le Grand.


    iGrado

    iasus-mobile-amp-ipod-shuffle-and-igrado.JPG


    O.K. the iGrado up first, with Coldplay. Everything seems to be as you would expect with the iGrado. The highs are shining through, and the sound staging is just first-class. Sharp, focused and class-leading they really are! They can handle the volume in their stride. Oh, you poor Sennheiser PX100 owners, you don’t know what you’re missing.
    Switching over to The Creeps - Camille Jones, Fedde Le Grand, things are even more impressive. Not only do you feel the depth of the iGrado but you can feel the backing vocals behind you and above you. The iGrado are truly an amazing pair of headphones. At this price, why would you want anything else?


    With the IASUS.


    With the amp, the clarity is touched up, but it’s not a light and day difference. If you weren’t purposefully listening out for it, you wouldn’t necessarily notice. Although slightly more detailed, it is a bit more reserved than the IPod Shuffle. The mids are more punchy without the amp, but all that changes once you turn up the volume of the IASUS MOBILE AMP. The IPod can’t produce half the volume the MOBILE AMP can.


    You can deafen yourself, but you’ll seriously affect people within a five-meter radius of you. At full volume (which I seriously wouldn’t recommend) your hearing would be seriously affected.


    With Camille Jones, at high volumes, the IASUS/Grado combination keeps most of its composure, only getting slightly hardened and losing some of the bass and midrange at the top end. It’s impressive - the top end is too much, even for me. So I’m gonna take a quick break!

    …Hey, I’m back. Like I said, you shouldn’t be listening to music at that high level anyway, but for the sake of my hearing, and testing the amp to the max, I’ll do it for you!

    The Metro.Fi 2 headphones (full review to come)

    iasus-mobile-amp-ipod-shuffle-and-ultimate-ears-metrofi-2.JPG


    I have to say that with Coldplay, they sound warmer than the iGrado, but as with the usual problem with some IEMs, you can hear them slipping out of the optimum position. I’ve just swapped the earplugs over with the earplugs from the Crossroads Mylars, and problem is solved.

    There’s nothing bad to report with the standard IPod, only that I’m testing them sitting next to the computer, inside my house. If I got outside with these, I’ve experienced a fair bit of ambient noise. With that said, I’ve just swapped over the earplugs which make for a more secure fitting, and that slipping-out feeling, just doesn’t happen.


    Camille Jones comes in firm, strong and with lovely deep bass, nice! The highs get sweeter, as the volume gets higher. But all is under control.

    With the amp?

    The mids and highs are freer with the IASUS AMP. The depth of Chris Martin’s voice is unbelievable; it really is. It’s far more forward with the IASUS AMP setup than with the standard IPod. Now I’m beginning to hear a solid argument for having the IASUS AMP, more so than with the iGrado. The IASUS/Metro.Fi 2 set up is a night and day difference from just plugging the Metro.Fi straight into the IPod.


    There’s more control, more refinement, it’s just brilliant. The bass isn’t deeper, with the amp, but better defined and controlled. It’s not a boomy or loose. Now, I have to say, I love boomy and loose bass, but I know it’s not everyone’s preference.


    There’s no mistaking that with IEMs, the difference with the IASUS amp is clearly a noticeable difference. For this reason, and in this setup, the IASUS is pretty much a must. And that’s before we even get close to the argument about the extra volume you’ll get with the amp.

    Ultrasone Proline 750

    iasus-mobile-amp-ipod-shuffle-and-ultrasone-proline-750-headphones.JPG


    Now I’ve chosen the Ultrasone Proline 750 headphones for a few specific reasons. Number one is that in the forums, I’ve been answering a few queries regarding plugging the Ultrasone Prolines 750 into an IPod, for what you could call part time portable reasons.


    The other reason is that I know that the IPod Shuffle can’t really drive the Ultrasones very well, and so it shouldn’t! The Ultrasones are huge, and I think to ask something as small as the IPod Shuffle, to power a pair of headphones this big, is asking too much.


    It performs well enough, don’t get me wrong, but I think you should give your IPod a bit of a fighting chance. With the standard set up (IPod Shuffle/Proline 750) everything is good and well-weighted. Chris Martin is slightly recessed.With Camille Jones and Fedde Le Grand, you just want more bass, and volume. You also get a feeling there’s not as much depth in the soundstaging as the iGrado and it’s not as sharp and pin-pointed as the iGrado.

    Let’s plug it in!

    Straight away, with the amp, the Ultrasones are allowed to breathe a bit more and show you what they can do, and I don’t think it has anything to do with the extra volume the IASUS can muster up either. The midrange on the Ultrasones are not to everyone’s taste, they can be a little on the recessed side at times, but the IASUS better defines the midrange of the Ultrasones, making it easier to concentrate on them.


    Again with Camille and Fedde, the same is true, the midrange is better defined. The extra power the MOBILE AMP gives the Prolines a different edge. So again the IASUS MOBILE AMP scores highly.


    Conclusion One


    So with the iGrado the difference is only slightly noticeable, but with the Metro.Fi 2 earphones and the Ultrasone Proline 750 the difference is far more obvious, especially with the Metro.Fi’s. I could argue that the iGrado are good enough and easy enough to drive that you don’t really need an amp to give them a bump up in performance. The biggest surprise was with the Metro.Fi 2 earphones. It just goes to show that you don’t need costly headphones to hear the difference.

    How does the IASUS compare to the similarly-priced Go-Vibe V5 amp? Join the forum discussion and find out!

    8 hours left to bid, an people are bidding over the market value for a pair of used iGrado’s. Another great plus for iGrado ownership.

    Looks like I spoke too soon. But having said that, it’s good news for those who want to sell their iGrado’s. The iGrado’s are a near perfect pair of headphones (for the price) and dare I say, would also be a fitting challenge to any IEM’s around the same price. If you want pin sharp sound staging, better controlled and deeper bass than the Sennheiser PX100/PX200’s then the iGrado’s are a must.

    Still, bidding over the market value, for a pair of used headphones might be considered absolute lunacy, but hey, as long as people enjoy them, that’s all that matters……..I think!!??!!

    Please, do a quick price check against amazon, before you bid!

    iGrado’s go for a lot of money

    If someone paid over the retail price, bidding on my headphones, I’d be rather happy! At the time of writing this (20/11/07 7:26pm) I’m watching this bid for the Grado iGrado’s. At present the bidding is $45.00, with a very fair shipping charge on top.

    Now (7:32pm) there’s 7 hours and 43 minutes left to bid, andthe iGrado’s have attracted 8 bids so far. Anyone familiar with ebay knows what happens at the end of the bid…….usually the price shots up. The small point to this post, is that for $49.00 you can go to amazon.com and buy a brand new pair of iGrado’s……boxed…..hum!

    I’m going to ‘time stamp’ this post. I’m going to set it for tomorrow morning. Let’s see what happens. A word to the wise, check amazon prices first! This is going to be an interesting bid!

    I saw this interesting search term (igrado equivalent) in my stats and thought I give it a quick answer. In terms of the category of portable headphones, that the iGrado’s fall into, and the price, there is no real equivalent. Yes, the Sennheiser PX100 and PX200 have their merits, but the simple fact is, the iGrado’s are far better.

    When it comes to IEM’s, you have a few to choose form, but the best IEM’s I’ve come across, is the CrossRoads MylrOne X3’s. Having said that, I’ve just ordered the Ultimate Ears Metro.Fi 2 earphones, so that could change.

    Take it from me folks, for the price and type of headphones, the iGrado’s are the best!
