I Need New Headphones (for iPod Dock)

[admin_exported]

Hi my current set of headphones have not long broken they have lasted years and I'm embrassed to say they were a cheap pair of Sony headphones bought from Amazon.

I've been looking at buying a good "entry level" set of headphones for my iPod dock/computer as this is where I do most of my listening. Could you please suggest a set of headphones in the regeion of £200 - £250.

I'm not sure if this will have any impact on your suggestions but I listen to Classical and instrumental pretty much exclusively.

Another quick question...

Do iPod docks improve the sound quality? I have a Vita Aduio R4 that I use as an iPod dock for my 160GB iPod Classic. I use lossless files and I think the music sounds a lot better through the Vita than straight from the iPod is this possible or is it just wishful thinking?

Thank you!

Hi there and welcome.

Your questions about docks is very subjective and one you should test yourself. Don't be embarrassed about Sony - nothing wrong if they served you well for some time and you were happy!

My advice is to start cheaper - find a point where you're happy with a set that's is good value vs. sound quality. I recommend AKG K450 for £50 or so. They are really that good.

Happy listening and do tell us what you end up with.
