Joggler aside. I have opted to get a Topping NX1 portable headphone amp and coupled with a 2nd Gen iPod Touch, iPeng with the in-app purchased player and a pair of Sennheiser HD 201s I have a rather nice sounding alternative to the RS130's. The iPod Tpuch's onboard headphone amp is a bit weak but

I have ordered a Topping NX1 portable headphone amplifier and I am going to give the iPod Touch/Topping NX1 combo with my HD201s some serious testing. The cable on the HD201s is too long really. Good excuse to get those P7s which have 1.2 metre coiled cable. QNAP TS419P 4TB LMS7.7.2 *Living Roo

Using a pair of Sennheiser HD201s - cheap closed cans but nice sound - plugged into a mk3 ipod touch with ipeng player. Sounds better than the RS130s! No hiss at all. Might have to rethink things a bit. Ipeng on this version of ios will only run foreground but that isnt an issue as long as I reme

I had a couple of RS120 and got myself the RS180. It's like night and day. The RS180 are amazing. Much better sounding and they still have all the goods of the RS120. I'd definitely opt for the RS180. ButC's Profile: http:/

Well, you could go with the wired phone of your choice and something like this: http://audioengineusa.com/Store/W3-Wireless-Audio-Adapter You can even power the receiver with a battery pack: http://www.amazon.com/Jackery%C2%AE-Premium-iPhone-Charger-3200mAh/dp/B00L9F95RO/ref=pd_sim_cps_2?ie=UTF8&

Definitely not rejecting Sennheisers. I am just not aware of anything else. I will need to test the RS170/180 and 220 I guess. Leakage could be an issue for SWMBO but the RS130s are open and she doesnt complain about them so I guess audio quality and comfort should be my main criteria. QNAP TS4
