Gopi,

Even I impressed abt the Denon's elegant-looking.It looks simply amazing.Headphone.com says Denon D1001 has punchy bass and clarity.However some of the reviews says Ipod isn't powerful enough to drive this head phone.I am mainly looking this for my Ipod.

Any input Gopi?

Thanks,
Kams

Regarding the drive, its 50ohms resistance is slightly on the higher side for the regular ipod headphones. Typically 32 should be good and anything less can go even loud. But, it won't be too much of a problem for me at least as I don't listen to the songs in very high volumes. You can do a very simple test if thats a problem with you or not. See what volume you are using with your current headphones with your ipod, then check for its impedance(should be mostly 32ohms) and if that is not more than 75% or so, you should be fine I suppose.

USB HP produces v good sound i have heard,

For laptop usage USB headphones are good , I have seen Microsoft HP + USB card at 1500Rs ..

Any one used these ??

Kaushik,
the idea of using the headphone out of USB means that you are using your own DAC instead of the one thats in your computer/laptop. So, it depends on what you have vs what the USB hp has.

PX 100's are a smash value for money and they travel very well. I like the frequency response and the only possible complain could be from my coworkers because the sound can leak a bit.

Hi all,

I have been shopping for a headphone. My problem is my mobile has a 2.5mm jack. And most of the headphones from Sennhieser / Shure and other brands have a 3.5mm jack.

Can you please help me find a 2.5 to 3.5mm adapter / plug in Bangalore.

Thank you in advance,

Regards
Jagadeesh.J

I remember some Sennheiser models coming with 2.5mm plugs. A quick check on the website might help.

Cheers.
