Default Re: Headphones!!!

One thing to keep in mind about the K701 is that it really needs a quality amplifier to sound it's best. To be honest every headphone I've heard benefits from quality amplification, but higher impedence phones particularly dependant on the amp. If you're just going to be using a standard headphone out you might find something like the Sennheiser HD-595 to be more to your liking.

In regards to the earbuds or IEMs, the Etymotic er-4p are the best sounding IEMs that I've every heard. My second favorite would be the Etymotic er-6i. I know a lot of people love the Shures but IMHO the Etymotic sound signature is much better and the Etymotics are far more comfortable.
