Headphone Review
I’ve currently got three pairs of headphones, and fortunately they are all different enough that each one serves a pretty specific purpose.
Just got a pair of Grado S60s for a 2nd generation iPod Shuffle.
Love them. Crystal clear sound, but, like other reviewers have said, almost no sound isolation. Everyone can hear your music and you can hear everyone else. Best for listening at home.
Of course, I probably wouldn’t have gotten them at all if it wasn’t a trade since I’ve also got a pair of Sennheiser 280s.
Much more isolation, but the sound isn’t as full or clear. Also, they are a little tight, so if you’ve got a huge pumpkin-head, you’ll have to stretch these bad-boys out.
Oh, and if you’ve got a new Apple product, you can’t go wrong with these:
Yeah, they let you play/pause on any iPhone and let you adjust the volume on an iPhone 3GS… but did you know you can also play/pause/volume on newer MacBooks and iMacs? Yeah… they are also super isolating and sound pretty darn good. Don’t try to use them for long conversations, though. The isolation makes talking on them kind of weird.
