Dear young folks, rediscovering the power of personal MP3 players like iPod Classic. Know that retro gives you more. My personal favourite headphones for an iPod or similar device: AKG K92 (closed back) and, of course, the Koss Porta Pro (open back). Both still being made, both in the €50 sweet spot of really good sound at an affordable price. And as both are passive headphones, they last forever. No battery problems, no codec shit. Just sound. Good sound :) You're welcome.

The Koss Porta Pro is known to have cheap cables, so they might break or be ripped off (I never had that problem). So they also serve as a good way to learn basic soldering ;) Replacing the cable to get many more years of Sound is rewarding. Trust me on that.

@jwildeboer Yer see I read that as portapotti (a type of Elsan) and wondered where the cables could be? I really should read more carefully.. Always a good idea to learn new skills. Had another go at welding today. Much better than 1st attempt earlier in the week.
