I am wondering which of these two headphones would work for an iPod the



Sennheiser HD212 Pro Closed Headphones . AKG K101 Lightweight Supra Aural Headphones or the
Sennheiser HD202 Closed Headphones

As long as they have a 1/8" plug that will fit into the 1/8" iPod headphone jack it'll work just fine.. These most likely do, just do some research on them and find some specs.

Thank you for the quick response, which headphone would you choose the 212 and 202 have the 1/8 but im not sure if the AKG does have the 1/8.

I honestly don't use Over the Ear headphones so I couldn't help you there. You might want to check out Head-Fi (www.head-fi.org) and Head Room (www.headroom.com) for some more info in the Forums and the Reviews. Also almost all of those headphones will have a 1/8" plug or will have a 1/4" one which can be removed and uncover the 1/8" plug.

Good luck,

Adaptors are available from places like Radio Shack to convert a 1/4" plug to 1/8". So if the AKGs are the ones you really want, I'm sure you'll be able to use them. But, I've found a spec sheet here (http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/search/detail/base_id/112012/src=00631) that says it includes:

"Adapter: Stereo mini to 1/4" jack "

So, these will work too.
