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
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 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
Lee liked the AKG’s.
Sara - a bit camera shy
Sara was content with just hammering out her music!

Saying goodbye to the founder of headphonedeals
No, not me, the Ultrasone Proline 750 headphones. Because I now rarely get a chance to use them, I’m selling them to someone who will. That’s right, they’re going on ebay. Here are the few photos I manage to take.
And here are some quick comments:

So was Alien vs Predator Requiem, money well spent?
You can read my brief review on my feeling s about the latest Alien vs Predator film. But before you do, I just want to add that this was the first time I’d seen the film. I missed it when it came out in the cinema’s, just like I missed Rambo, so that’s another one for the DVD list.
I’d usually wait a few weeks until the price comes down, I don’t know if you do the same? however, this time I was desperate to see it. And the headphones, deep rumblings all the way through, even in the non action bits. Good film, with good headphones. Anyway here’s my Alien vs Predator Requiem review.

This Is Old Skool Heaven.
ebay seller dancing_daz: 100% positive feedback
You when you hear a tune, that brings those memories flooding back? Well I don’t have any specific memories that link to Kicks Like A Mule’s ‘The Bouncer’ but it’s such a good old skool track that I just had to have it. Actually it reminds of the the raves back in the 90’s, Tall Trees nightclub and Berties nightclub in Newquay (from the images, Berties has changed since I was a young lad).
My favourite track? Track 3 The Bouncer: Housequake Mix. I never really got on with the original tune. Click here to see a listing of dancing_dazs’ items
Kicks Like A Mule - The Bouncer, Ultrasone Proline 750 Headphones And Biosciencegeek CMoy Amp, make a nice combo.

These Alienware headphones are the ones to watch.
These are Alienware headphones developed by Ultrasone…technically they’re Ultrasone’s, but we’ll skip the marketing jargon for now, and jsut look at them. These are the ones, I’m keeping an eye on.

Here are the links for the Audio Technica ATH-ES5 headphones.

Sorry about all that, I was just musing over some possible future headphones. However the first pair of headphones or the next pair of portable headphones on my ‘to buy list’, are the Ultrasone HFI-15G headphones. They do look retro, like a pair of Grado’s, but they also look classy.
This is just a reference for me, but i’m not stopping you from buying them. And if you do, Then drop me a line on the forum, that would be appreciated.

In your average week you might see the odd pair of Ultrasone headphones up for bidding (not ‘Buy It Now’) but, this week it’s gone crazy. At the time of writing this, there’s 24 pairs up for bid, including this pair of Edition 9 headphones.
You’ve got your iCans
HFI 550 headphones
And your DJ1 Pro’s
and loads more….so get in there and bag yourself a bargain. And while you’re at it, get me a pair of DJ1’s!

Spot The Difference?
Apart from the colour, there’s not much between the Ultrasone PROline headphones and the WeSC Aoki headphones.
Nov
28
Now that’s what I call a portable headphone amp. Welcome to the IASUS MOBILE AMP review.
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
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)
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
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.
