I've previously owned a pair of Mura Red Set phones and a set of Koss PortaPro phones. The Koss phones are fine for use with my walkman, but I'd like a better set for home use. I prefer the "circumaural" phones to the "superaural" phones which have pervaded the market--I haven't heard a pair of the latter type which has satisfactory bass response, which is a big requirement for me. I'm looking to spend < $100. I hear that the AKG phones are good. Any of you audiophiles out there have any advice on this matter? Thanks in advance. -- Mark Vita Dartmouth College USENET: {decvax,cornell,linus,astrovax}!dartvax!markv ARPA: markv%dartmouth@csnet-relay CSNET: markv@dartmouth
