Is it completely unusable in, say, a library? Even with reduced volume?

Personally I love the design, but no sound leakage is absolutely crucial for me..

I would like som advice on what equipment i should be getting?
Got the Musiland 02 US and AKG 240s atm.
I guess the musiland is fine as source or would u guys rather use it as an usb spdif converter? Havent really never understood the thing about those converters. Do they really do that much of a difference?
My budget is kinda limited aswell so what i was thinkin is that keepin the musiland as source and skip the whole usb spdif converter thing and then get an amp and a better set of headphones...
AKG 701, denon 2000, sennheiser 650 or maybe audio technica.
Except for the headphones which is in the pricerange im looking for. I was thinking a good amp for around 200-220 $.

Really appreciate the help guys!

this pair of headphones has been babied and only used at home with my stereo. at the price and quality of these headphones, i have never dared to bring these out to use with the ipod.

I have used the sr325's for less than an hour since i've had them, they just don't get my attention with the darkvoice. I know the darkvoice is suited for high impendance cans like the hd600's and so on. Should I get something like the little dot I+ just for my sr325's? or should I just wait and see how the new 332s responds to them (I'd think it would be similar to the 336i) Just to add, I DO like the grado sound and these headphones ARE for me.

so....

I'm currently using a 2503-10u advanced dock with my thinkpad(w500 =D) Lenovo Support & downloads - ThinkPad Advanced Dock - Overview
(This might be better: http://www.thinkwiki.org/wiki/ThinkPad_Advanced_Dock )


It has a pci-e slot in it (only 1x speed though, I think), and that slot can only be half-profile length and height.

Any good sound cards that match such criteria?

I bought these slightly used off of another member in these forums (boozcool) at the start of March 2008. They are in near mint condition (a few extremely tiny scuffs I can't even see right now) and haven't been used too thoroughly. I'm only selling them because of the lack of use, and my Shure SE210's are past warranty by 6 months and finally starting to break. I live near Vancouver, Canada, and would prefer to sell them locally/nationally, but I will ship them to the US at your expense. I will not ship them to Nigeria. Ever.

I'm also not too sure of a selling price, so hit me up with some offers. If this is against forum rules, please let me know. Also, payment methods can be worked out via PM if someone is interested in purchasing them.

I recently ordered some Alessandro MS1i's, which should arrive shortly. I'm not really an audiophile, and don't plan to use an amp or anything, mainly 'cause I can't afford it. Would I get better sound quality using the onboard audio from my Gigabyte EX58-UD4P, or from my brother's crappy Creative Audigy SE 7.1?

does anyone have a conclusive say on the sound quality difference between those two through the headphone ports and nice monitors?

reason i ask is because im getting sick of my zune 80, i can hear the hard drive spin up and when nothign is playing i hear some white noise inthe background through my se530's. it just isnt clean audio. ]]> Portable Source Gear kchau http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f15/conclusive-information-ipod-nano-4g-vs-5g-sq-456548/
