Are these headphones appropriate for Ipod Classic while on the go (walks, bus, subway)? I listen to Brubeck, Coltrane, Monk, Rollins, Davis, Getz...

I got these headphones for my son, so according to him, he used them with his Samsung tablet and with an iPad. The plug is universal for all; however, the cable is too long and too thick, so, if you are planning to use it on walks and bus/subways, it is not going to be really convenient, as they are too bulky. Hope it helps.

I would say yes! They are very clean! Some people say it lacks bass but I think it just cuts distorted bass very well! They are headphones not subwoofers but I feel they are worth the money absolutely

They are good for any music, just wouldn't use them any time your head might get super sweaty

The KRKs fit well over my ears and are comfortable to wear for extended periods of time . The headphones are closed back so they isolate the sounds fairly well meaning your music won't be audible to others around you and you will not hear a lot of background sounds. The frequency response is pretty flat meaning no bass boost and mids and highs are balanced. I find I have to turn volume up more with these than with ear buds, but not a lot. In short, these headphones should work OK for ipod use.

Hi Dennis, I use the headphones with my iphone5 and regular ipad. I really like the sound makes you feel like the music is going right through you. I also use them to listen to my digitals books. Has good base sound which I like, I have heard notes I have never heard before with my in ear headphones. Nice carrying case. Happy Holidays!

Have a pair on my iPod and a pair on my PC at work along with my PC at home. Never had any problems and that includes sweating at the gym 5 times a week. They even pack extra tips with them in black and clear. I love em and they look sharp with my Red Nano.....

Absolutely! I listen to classical all the time with them! Best headphones i've ever owned.

I listen to a lot of Diana Krall type jazz and classical piano music and have not heard the sibilance in the headphones. Sadeo Watanabe's sax seems smooth to me in my head. Not a normal shortcoming of the phones but anything is possible. If you less than 500 hours on them just let them play a while longer at normal volume with a variety of music and see if it goes away.

That is the reason I bought these headphones. They work great for riding. The combination of great sound plus the noise canceling buds make for an enjoyable long distance ride!

I don't think it's overkill at all. If you want a better musical experience, then go right ahead. But make sure you have some high quality audio files before trying them out. Better sound quality going in equals better sound coming out and that's even more true when it comes to these headphones. These will only emphasize the bad sound of your files if they are low quality. The better the source, the better the sound. Oh and speaking of source, I also recommend getting a portable headphone amp like this http://amzn.com/B005HJWWW8 and a Line Out Dock cable like this http://amzn.com/B005N6ZAT2 because the internal amp of the iPod will most likely be holding these headphones back. The Line Out Dock cable bypasses the internal headphone amp and feeds the pure line out signal directly into the better, more powerful, and higher quality external amp.

If you don't get service on the subway they wouldn't work to receive phone calls obviously but i would think they would still work for your music. Yes, they work for an iPhone5, that is what i bought them for. thx

I used mine on an airplane to listen to music from my ipod. I also use these when I sometimes watch movies on my laptop. Of course these aren't noise cancellation headphones, but the ear cups fit so well over your ears they might as well be. Sound quality is great and they have good, deep bass so I don't see you having any issues hearing movies. They're also very comfortable for long term use.

I got them to use with my Kindle Fire and Ipod and have not had any problems with them ...good sound and I travel with them.

Yes, absolutely. I've listened to them on an older ipod and they sounded great. No amp needed.

I echo Mr. Thompson. I use the headphones with my IPOD. Outstanding sound and very compact. Bob O'Malley

I would say yes. I've never used mine for travel but I couldn't see why they wouldn't be great for it. They sound fantastic and the fact that they are very sturdy is a definite plus. You can feel free to wear them around your neck when not in use, as they're quite stylish in my opinion, or you could use the small bag that comes in the packaging to tote them around which I find very helpful and use regularly to store my sol republics. Lastly, the simple design that allows you to separate the head band from the actual driving units of each ear and the detachable cable makes them the most portable and space efficient over-the-ear headphones I've personally seen.

I love the sound quality and portable convenience. In addition, very high battery or USB life. I've had these for at least a year and only need to recharge once and I very much use them on a every other day to daily basis. I hoped I helped in any way on making your decision more at ease. Let me know if it works out�

Sure. I use them daily with my iPod Classic, my iPhone, and my iPad. They are inexpensive so don't expect them to last forever but at their price, I keep an extra pair around.

They will work in your ipod just fine. These headphones work will with all my portable devices.
