? + Voyager = warm and intimate sounding headphone

Hi, are you using a line out dock from the iPod to feed your Voyager? If not look into getting one to obtain the best possible sound. Then you may not wish to get rid of your Beyer, by the way from what year are they? Post a picture if you can.

I tried the latest (2005 version) with an older (2003) version and preferred the older unit. Of course we all hear differently and your milage will vary. I have not listened to the GR8 so I cannot comment.

Hi Simon, I recently auditioned several cans including senn hd650 with a novo. They sounded extremely good, but to my ears erring towards the warmer sound that I didn't find as appealing, making my metal music sound boring compared to the grado sr325is I eventually bought. I haven't listened to the gr8 but from what I have read, all Grados have a similar sound signature, but saying that, some prefer lower end Grados claiming less sibilance to the sr325is & some say the grado rs range are warmer sounding,claiming the use of wood being the cause of this. I personally have listened to the grado 80i & the sr325is & would never refer to them as warm, in this case I would say the sennheiser would be better, but would recommend that you try listen before you buy, people hear differently & you may disagree with all others opinion. Other cans that are warmer sounding, but bass heavy (IMO) are the denon adh 5000. With regards to the voyager ability to power something such as the hd650, which I think are 300 ohms, I would have thought would be okay ( but im no expert & others on this forum will know better) but obviously won't play as loud, I have only used my voyager with low impedance cans, & again hopefully others will be able to advise on this, but I suppose what your definition of loud is? Incidentally, if you decide to buy other cans, I may be interested in adding the beyers to my collection if you decide to sell them, letme know
