Hi guys,

I am an avid listener of jazz (low bass) and so far have been
listening using $50 TDK headphones. I am planning to go shopping for
something like a grado or sennheiser or bose.

Any suggestions on what technical specs I should be aware of would be
of great help. My budget is around AUD $200-$300.

Regards

Max


You might be able to buy something better than your budget suggests by
shopping wisely directly in Japan. Here's an article in which explain
how I bought Stax earphones for 42 per cent of the European price:
