Headphones

[kosmo vinyl]

i saw your recommendation on these in the old thread ggw unearthed for us... do they sit or cup your ears and how heavy are they? these were also recommended on another forum.

These are pretty comfy and sit on your ears rather than cupping them so to speak.  They don't block out much external noise and their open design tends to share your music with your neighbors more than most phones.
 
 If comfort and portability are major factors I'd say go with the senns I posted....they are highly recommended everywhere I look.  But I'd have a hard time imagining them sounding as good as the grado's.

These would be beast:

Do they shave you at the same time?

hmmm not something i would want to leave at my desk...
 
 will have to look into the grado's, i'm not really concerned about sound leakage as will be using them at work were i tend to listen to things a very low volume anyways.  i have a pair of sony noise cancelling headphones which make my ears feel hot after awhile and feel heavy.

I have a set of the Sennheiser HD555's and I honestly believe that they are the best headphones I've ever owned. I've had them on my head every day at work for 6-8 hours a day over the last year and have never once found them uncomfortable or grown tired of the sound. The one problem with them is that they're not very portable, so you should look elsewhere if that's what you need. I very much like the Etymotic ER6i's for those purposes.

Is there really any significant difference between the ER6 and the ER6i other than the ER6i are white?

i think there's some small difference that makes them "better", but i'm not a big headphone geek so i couldn't say

The ER6i phones are lower impedance (16 Ohm vs 50 Ohm) and  are supposed to have a better low-end response. The lower impedance makes them better for MP3 players and other portable devices because less power is required to produce louder sounds.

I was offered a pair of  Logitech Bluetooth Wireless Headphones for the iPod to beta test, but alas I don't have an "iPod" so I passed.  
 
 I thought it would be cool to have a pair to attempt to pinch what other folks were listening to though.

i thought this thread was going to be about pedro the lion's fantastically electronic side project...damn...

Are Beats worth it at half price?

So they are Bluetooth, but for the life of me I can't tell which version of Bluetooth...as that makes a big difference
I'd go to the store and try them out

Yes, they probably are. Shame they weren't half off when my Bose headphones died.
