How about the Sennheiser HD-555 for use with an iPod? Agree ?

Your welcome. Open headphones such as these HD555's have sort of a metal mesh grill on each outer side where the speakers are located, sort of like a boom box has on each speaker. On a boom box or stereo the speakers face out to let out the music, in the case of open headphones the speakers face the ear but air and sound is released through the metal grill. This is done so that the music has more room to develope more richly. Therefore some sound leaks out (its a good thing) but it allows people around you to hear what you are listening to. Closed headphones such as the HD202 do no have any metal grill on the sides, just closed plastic, therefore there is no sound leak, only you hear the music. Most people prefer to use open headphones at home for the great sound quality but others use the closed headphones outside and take a hit on the sound quality a bit because they don't want anyone to hear what they are listening to or they don't want to disturb anyone on planes or at work. Ipod earbuds are pretty bad earphones in my opinion and mostly only certain over the ear headphones are considered open and most in ear earphones are considered closed. These HD555's will destroy the ipod earbuds in sound quality, like night and day. Sennheiser is a very respected audio company, especially with audiophile people who love headphones and music. I hope that helped a bit.

just for music use I think.. Not for talking on the phone(unless you have handsfree hookups too)I really like being able to listen to the music on the IPOD!!

Yes. Plus, this unit has a DAC, which means that the inferior DAC in the ipod will be bypassed resulting in much better sound.

It would work with the iPod but you wouldn't get the full sound quality it offers due to lack of proper amplification. These headphones are best used with stand alone amps. Also they are not very portable. The cans are huge. You would look weird wearing these on the go. But if that doesn't bother you then yes it is portable :)

Shouldn't be any issue, Apple stuck with a standard 3.5mm headphone jack with all the iPods.

You should better get the audio technica ath-m50 instead. You will be happy. :)

I do not have any 600 ohms headphone. I ha used it with Sennheiser 600 which is a 300 ohms headphone and it handles it very well. Use your ipod touch loaded with flac sw and down load flac music at hdmusic, you will be amazed!!

Ipods and iphones use a 1/8 inch jack. Some headphones are terminated in a 1/8 inch jack, and some are terminated in a 1/4 inch jack. The HD600 I had was an older version that had an 1/8" jack, and for that you don't need an adapter. If you have a 1/4" jack, then you can get a 1/4 to 1/8 inch adapter, which are commonly available on amazon or radioshack or anywhere. The other issues is that an iphone or ipod really doesn't have the necessary power to drive the HD600. I would suggest taking a look at the HD598 instead. But, if you're dead set on the HD600, then you can get one, just be mindful that you may need to get a headphone amp for it, and that out of an iphone it may not be the best value for dollar headphone you can get. The HD600 is really made for professional and stationary desktop systems, with a high-quality source and a headphone amp of some sort, or at least an integrated receiver. That's where it really shines. On the other hand, it's one of a handful of headphones under $1k that I would whole-handedly recommend. The headphone hobby has really gone to the dogs, and there are lots of overpriced, under-performing headphones out there on the market. But, the HD600 is not one of them, and it's one of the best value for dollar deals out there - the others being the Koss ESP950 and Stax SR-207, if you're building a stationary, desktop-based system, and Sennheiser HD598 and Momentum if you're building a portable-based system. On that note - if isolation is important, the Sennheiser Momentum is worth a good look. While not as good as the HD600 in terms of absolute fidelity, it's a quality closed headphone and is easy to drive by just about anything.

i was using an old iPhone as an iPod touch and a bose blue tooth speaker and it was decent but not as good. The nomad speaker points at the ceiling and fills the room better, disguises noise better.If the iPod works well for you, then why buy something else. But if you are still being interrupted from noises you might want to try getting a sound machine.

This dac provides good bass so any headphone will do. I use the sennheiser hd25 and those headphones sound awesome with this dac.

Hi John, u clearly can save ur money because you get punchyer bass out of much cheaper earphones. This one is great in hearing the details, it feels like the iPod is connected to the brain directly "Super great details and presence" but overall is not the best comfort hearing solution and money wise is big waste if not used

Sure. Anything that uses a 3.5mm headphone cable will work. I use my iPad ad iPod with it all the time. It does not have bluetooth.

Yes. You don't need anything specific to Apple. They're just normal earbuds, which is what you need.

Yes and no. The headphones work fine, but the volume control and switch on the cord do not function. If you don't mind using the Ipod control, then probably no problem.

yes, any headphone that's 3.5 mm will support the use of the Ipod shuffle. Happy shopping

You need to look at the OHM number. This has a high one. I'd search for a much lower impedance number for portable use. These cans are amazing but they need something to power them with more oomph than an iPod. For portable use, I use a pair of Pioneer HDJ 1500's with an impedance rating of 32 OHM. I cherish these Koss headphones but they can't possibly sound good hooked to an iPod and they probably would chew through the battery regardless. That said, buy them anyway! Everyone should own a pair of these beauties.

I use an iPod touch 4th gen (not amped) to listen to them. An amp will make them sound even better, but is not necessary.
