Closed and portable headfones for iphone
Hi everyone, my name is cristian and I a fron Spain. I have been reading your forum for days and I have learned a lot.
I want closed-foldable cans to use mainly with iphone and sometimes xBox. I owned sennheiser hd202 and sennheiser cx300 at the time, so I want more sound quality in the new one.
my candidates are:
- ATH- Es55
- ATH-E7
- Denon 372 (foldable)
- AKG Q 460
which one do you think is better in sound and construction.
I have onle tried the AKG beacuse in my city there is not ATH shops
it sounds good but the construction is very "plastic".
thanks a lot
Hola Cristian,
replies can sometime take a while - especially in the headphone section ![]()
I have only tried the ES55's from your list and I really liked them. I used to have PXC-250's and they are much more solid than those.
Thanks a lot. At the moment i am thinking just in ath-es55, ath-es7 or maybe grado rs60 just to experiment grado sound at home...
I don't know what to do! 
Hi Cristian,
If you are looking at grado's I would suggest Alessandros http://www.alessandro-products.com/headphones.html. Excellent headphones that I bought whilst living in Barcelona (which has nothing to do with the sound quality!)
I still really enjoy them... they're not closed so sound does annoy those who are near!
Closed, and foldable although not small, and optimised for dvd/gaming: Ultrasone HFI-780. I use them with an iPod 5th gen, they work fine, though volume does need to be at 50% or over most of the time (they are 32 Ohm impedance like many other headphones these days). They need at least 150 - 200 hours to really get on song (treble is very pronounced in first few hours, just leave them playing).
Hey Chris, From the headphones listed, the ES7's are nice portables. They do pretty good on most musical genres, and they have a nice style too.
Buena suerte!

When the OP asks for "closed, foldable cans", why suggest something totally different? Did you read what he was asking for?
Hi, thanks to everyone
I finally order es7 in the web for 100 euros here in spain. It is a really good price for them
maybe in a few months i will go for grados or alessandros.
When i receive the phones i will let you know my experience.
Big hug





Come on... Nobody???
