Lobaba 0 Report post Posted January 28, 2009 Been using Cowon A3 with AKG 412P for quite some time until the headphone broke a few weeks ago. Due to festive season, my wallet has been well armed for the next acquisition to replace my weeny cowon earphones. Tried out AKG 518 dj at Stereo but with a 2.5m of cable and heavy cans...meh. any other recommendation? Prefer strong bass, price below $150. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pop with rock. supra-aural, portable, preferably open but close is acceptable too. Edit: Cowon A3 rated impedance is 32 ohms.
