Best headphones for Cowon J3 Mp3-player - HiFi Headphones Forum - online headphone & earphone community forums

Mchielll · 08-23-2011, 01:15 PM

As the title says, i'm looking for a great pair of headphones, solely used with my (also great) Cowon J3 MP3-player. I'm not planning to use an amp, so impedance must be low. I like warm sound and bass. They have to be closed. They have to isolate sound (outside to inside and inside to outside). Sound quality is far more important for me as design or transportability. I can go up to 300€/265GBP. Please help me to make a decision.

I would go for these - Great sound and built to be tough and portable, also easily driven with an MP3 player. Congrats on getting a J3

Thanks! I will definitely look at those.

I have same question but budget around £130. Like quite a punchy sound as listen to mainly dance and pop. What do you recommend?

Here are some headphones which fit the criteria but work well for portability

Here are some headphones which fit the criteria but are more for home use.
