iPhone headphones

[Jimbo]

Can anyone recommend me some reasonably priced headphones for use with iPhone?

I've been using a pair of Klipsch phones with my old iPhone 4 and new 6 for the last couple of years and for the money, they're brilliant. This is the current version:

Hi James

I bought these around 3/4 months. Pretty pleased so far. Not bad sounding for the money.

I use soundmagic e10-they are sonically similar in presentation to senn 650s. Great vfm.

+1 for these great wee cans.
Sound great.

Atomic Floyd make a great range. I have a pair of TwistJacs for my I-Phone.

Koss Porta Pro for me for feeling big, rich & not constrained with standard iPhone amplification.

Amping up in the office then would go for Sony MDR-V6 with a Dragonfly DAC or something.

I use Grado RS1's with mine,might not be reasonably priced thou':eyebrows::)Makes watering the garden go with a swing.

For me it is the Soundmagic E30 for in ear from a phone.

Over ear design which I prefer.

Spend some time trying the various sized ear tips to get a perfect seal and they are great :)
Even better if you drive them with a decent head amp rather than a phones output.

Thanks for all the recommendations chaps. I can see quite a few folk have suggested the Sound magic headphones so I have ordered a pair of the Soundmagic E10's as they also get a lot of excellent reviews around the net.

At £35 a pop they look good value and they are only for my iphone so not expecting too much.

[HackneyRF]

Nice one James
Hope you get on with them. Be interesting to hear you thoughts after you have spent some time with them

Cheers

I'll second the Soundmagic E30.
Very happy with mine paired with an iPhone.

[Jimbo]

The Soundmagic E10 headphones are superb value for money. I have found they improve considerably depending on what equipment they are used with. Used with the iPhone they are good but bass is a little light. Plug them into a computer or something mains powered and wow they really do sound impressive.

Would be interesting to hear them with a headphone amp and some hi rez stuff.

Very happy with them and cannot fault build quality or performance.

I apparently have very narrow ear canals and find most earbuds uncomfortable after a while even when using the smallest seal, so, anyone with the same problem found a type that suits them?

It here are about 7 different sizes supplied with the Soundmagic E10 headphones so would be surprised if one didn't fit.

thanks:)

I've had E10's, E30's, IE6's & IE80's & none of them fitted my lugs comfortably & securely. Now I use Sennheiser PX 100-II's for out & about and Sennheiser HD 650's in the house.

The Soundmagic's do sound great though, at any price. That they happen to be relatively cheap is just a bonus.

I can't get on with in ear types myself which is why I went for some AKG k450 from richers for around 50quid.

That was 3 years ago now and they're still in daily use, perfect travelling companions, no sound leakage. Loads of bass but still very musical and tight.

Probabaly the best money I've ever spent on any bit of audio kit when I think about how much music gets played on them compared to any of my main system.

They're not noise cancelling or anything fancy like that but they've survived 10s of thousands of miles travel on my work travels and about 8 foreign trips over that time.

Essential kit and highly recommended

AKG Y45 for me - another over ear design, with the benefit of both wired or Bluetooth connection. The Bluetooth connection works well with phones, iPads and computers. My wife and I have a pair each and we can then share our music (or not) when travelling.

Trinity Deltas are supposed to be good. Were a kickstarter and soon on sale for about £80 or something? (to me that's low end price after hanging out on Head-fi.org)
