Are they recommended for i Phones/i Pods /MP3 players only ? How will they perform when plugged to a home system Amplifier with quality Output/Sound ?

The in-line microphone, volume control, and play/pause features are exclusive to Apple products. (iPhone, iPod, iPad) but as for the sound they will work fine on all devices. I have never tried them with any amplifier. Sorry about that. Hope this helps.

Yea they would be fine but the cord may be alittle short so just get a cord exstender, besides that, they sound and feel great!

Yes I recommended this to Apple products and there is Apple Control build in and the sound is reasonable, good value for money. Also it could be connected to Hi-Fi System or Amplifier's Headphone Output. The sound is good but I do not recommend this to wear for a long time. This thing is not comfortable for me. That's the reason I bought Audio Technica ATH-AD900X Audiophile Open-Air Headphones. The AD900X is the best Headphone I found for the sound and comfort and easy to drive.

Actually, I've found them quite good out of the Apple system and can probably compete with the Beats i have at home, they sound amazing in my computer and home system as well.. good luck with them.

Im not an expert, but if you are going to use these cans with your phone or any portable device, well then you will have no problems (you will not have enough power to blow them anyway).... but if you want to amp the sound you might have some difficulties. I red that Grado improved the Bass from the S60 model to the S60i model, the i version has a less precise bass, but it is more musical. but, keep in mind these cans are bass light. if you want to get more info check this webpage, the review section is great, and it may help you with other concerns. http://www.head-fi.org/products/grado-sr60i-headphones

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

I use them on my IPAD and they work fine, but with an IPOD, they didn't work. Some seem to work better than others.

Good overall quality no mater what you are listening to. If using them with an iPhone or ipad an good in-line amp really helps.

I doubt that an I phone will have enough power to listen at satisfying levels. I have a Shiit Lyr, old version, and it certainly has enough power and sounds decent to me, but there are many who rave about it. I have never listened to the phones with a more expensive amp so cannot say if more money equals better sound. There is always a point of diminishing returns. I would recommend that you try several amps if possible. I paid $400 for the Lyr.

They connect to my iPhone, so they should connect to a iPod. The jacks are the same size.

Yes they leak sound, but if you listen at work appropriate levels say 20% on iPhone, should be no problem unless you share a cube. They sound great.

@ M C......i have these on my computer. they connect with a regular mini jack plug to the audio out of the computer sound card. So if you have an 'audio out' on the ipod dock they should work fine for you. the sound quality is very decent as you would expect from Bose.....not their top of the line but still very good.

No, and they arent powered so you'd need an amp/receiver to use with ipod etc, they've got the kind of jacks for using speaker wire

To get the real deal you might want to get an audio interface. If you're just using them w/ an mp3 player you really won't notice how good they can sound.

These have no power source of their own, so you will need to buy something like the Lepai lp-2020a+ (or similar) to power them. They can handle up to 75 Watts/Channel. You will then need an auxiliary cord to go from your iPhone to the amp of your choosing. Mediabridge makes good affordable ones. Let me know if this helps!

I haven't had these for very long, but have used them with an iPad and iPod. So far, so good-no static unless I haven't engaged the plug all the way. You might check with the manufacturer.

I'm running these off of a 100W rms Pioneer amp and they handle it with no problem. They sound amazing with some power put to them. Hope this answers your question.

I think you want amplified speakers to work with your iPad. That is, the kind that have batteries, or plug into a wall outlet. These speakers do not have a power source. They work well with a traditional stereo receiver/amplifier, but probably not with a small electronic device.Also, I think there would be a problem with the cabling.

Hardly "wasting" money in my view, they're a great set of headphones. But you'll get better results using high-bitrate or uncompressed audio and a better output than Apple, like a Cowon music player. There are also small portable amps you can use with the iPhone. The iPhone audio isn't tops but it's not that bad either.

If you plan on using on the go, IEMs would serve better purpose. They will work, though are better suited to home amplifier purposes.
