[QUOTE="chas_m, post: 1627343"] As this thread popped up again, I thought I would add an endorsement for a pair of headphones (over-ear) that sound magnificent and don't cost the earth. Blue Microphones (of which I am an enthusiastic customer, as a veteran podcaster) have made what they call the Mo-Fi, which are amplified headphones. The design is stunningly clever, ensuring a perfect fit -- and the sound is AMAZING with the amplification on or off. Unlike many mainstream headphones, the amplification in the Mo-Fi is totally flat if you want, or bass-enhanced (and I mean "enhanced," not just amped up to overpower the higher frequencies) if you like. The amplification is really just there to save battery on your mobile device by not requiring it to supply amplification. Because there is an amp in the headphones, they are heavy ... but OMG the music sounds *incredible.* Highly recommended. Check your local musician's store to see if they are carrying them, and hear for yourself. To me, they sound better than anything I've tried in the $700-$1K range. [/QUOTE]
