Popped out today and bought a pair of the above headphones on special offer. Cost in the UK is about 120 quid for these.
Now I have always avoided wireless phones, having heard some of the (frankly risible) infrared ones some years ago. I wanted to get away from my in-ear phones for home listening, and was thinking of getting some decent over-ear (as opposed to on-ear) phones plus a half way decent headphone amp. I have been listening to them using the line out of my bog-standard iPod dock, and I have to say that I am very impressed with the sound from these phones for the price. It is such a pleasure to escape from the headpain induced by long term listening on in-ear phones. They have great bass and treble, and I find them very clear indeed (again, for the price). Now I'm thinking that a very nice little set up would be a receiver, with the line-outs feeding straight into the transmitter, Pick up the phones and the SBC, wander into the garden for some summertime bliss. Note, with these phones you do not need any for of headphone amp, they take line level directly. They quote 20 hours listening time on a single charge of the batteries. Oh, and they go flipping loud. My only gripe is that they don't go right over my flipping great big lug-holes, but I guess that's a gene problem, and not the AKG's. -- bigfool1956 David Ayers Music is what counts, hifi just helps us enjoy it more ------------------------------------------------------------------------ bigfool1956's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=13782 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=47652 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
