RJ,
I'm looking for some good, comfortable headphones to use at work. What do you think of the AKG 271s? I want something sealed and that will comfortably fit around my ear in the ~$200 range. I listen mostly to rock/punk, with a little of everything else thrown in.

Thanks

north,

i am impressed at the results of your research. i came very close to buying those a few times, i would suggest that you buy away. the only other really interesting closed headphone at that level is the beyerdynamic dt 770. by the way, imo, the beyerdynamic dt880(while not closed) is one of the best headphones in the entire world.

Sweet, thanks. I saw the D770s as well.

One more question. I currently have a pair of Shure E3c's that I use at the gym with my Nano. They sound good, but a little harsh when I turn them up sometimes. I've been looking at the UE SuperFi 5 Pros and the Sure E4c's. Do you have any opinion on the two? From what I've read they're real close...

[/ QUOTE ]

ive only heard the super fi 5,s and as ive said, i like them quite a bit. i would like to read more reviews/hear the shures. especially since i heard about shures new headphone yesterday, the shure e5000, ohhhh yeah.

Read about those e500s today. They look pretty impressive...

Recommend me a headphone amp. Does it make a difference when the headphone is plugged into your computer or are they primarily for protable players (ipod)?

With the PX100s, due to their open air design, can everyone hear the music you are listening to at school/gym/etc.

my 2 recommendations for legit headphone amps are both amps ive heard a lot of:

my ray samuels hornet: www.raysameulsaudio.com

orrr

the headroom micro amp

www.headroom.com

both are [censored] rad, and they will work out of your sound card, your portable player or your stereo system.

very closely, yes. if you play it loudly even more yes. plus you hear the constant noise outside the phones. check out the px200s or the new closed akg headphones. i think theyre the akg 28 or 29. gl

Also plz describe your bong. I will assume you missing my Q was an honest mistake, so I will alert you to it again.

i use a bong 90% of the time, it is awesome for just knocking you off your ass. if i were on a tighter budget i would buy a little chillum and smoke out of that all the time, gl.

i thought i answered it right there. i would buy like a quarter or something and use a chillum, which is like a pipe, but straight.

my bong is pictured below
