| I have the C260 which has I think has maybe 10 - 15 Db more noise than the T29.
The only problem I have is that its extremely fussy with impedance. My Sennheiser HD650s are my ultimate headphones, but on the C260, they pick up the noise from the touchpad, it almost acts like a transducer, picking up your finger taps and movements near and on the headphone plug, I imagine the C280 is similar.
I have a headphone AMP, which I haven't tried it with yet - I just picked up the new Sony MDREX90LP bud phones - with the right EQ, they sound fantastic on a C260 (Sonys are naturally bright, but the range is all there 5Hz - 25 Khz.)
There is no noise from the player I can detect with the bud headphones and the only hiss I hear is dependent on the recording alone. |
