Headphones for Unitilite

Posted by: Reburner on 15 March 2013

Whilst awaiting delivery of my Unitilite I'm interrupting the boredom of ripping all my CD collection to FLAC by looking for some decent headphones.

 

I want both wired and a pair of wireless for when I am in the garden. They will be used exclusively with the Unitilite.

 

What should I be looking for in a pair of headphones, can I plug straight into the unitilite and has anyone got any specific recommendations (budget up to £250 per pair).

There is a 3.5 m.m headphone socket on the front panel. If you choose phones with a 1/4 inch jack plug you'll need a convertor, Some phones come supplied with one these days.

Lots to choose from in this price range from the major manufacturers, Grado, Sennheiser etc.. If extraneous noise is an issue I suggest you look at closed back models. You should be able to audition at most hi-fi retailers,

By the way you may get more response to this post by putting it in the Hi-Fi Corner forum.

There's a headphone topic being discussed on there at the moment.
