out of curiosity, what's the total number of pre-orders now?

I would recommend just exchanging them for new ones, I know I wouldn't put up with it lol.

HAHA, those Skullcandy cans just begs to be taken a picture of in a bathroom mirror for a Myspace blog. I love the look and sound of my Prota Pro

Anyone else cringe when you see people wearing headphones with the wire coming off the right side(they're obviously wearing it the wrong way)? I do normally give people in videos and magazines the benefit of the doubt since it's the image that could've been flipped during editing.

The 280 do have a coiled cable like the V6. I'm thinking about grabbing one of the 2 as well for a portable set(trying to replace my beloved Porta Pro). I really can't recommend the 595 as portable phones... size isn't a factor to me since I don't mind carrying big phones, but the fact that...

I bought some cheap foam pads from The Source(formerly Radio Shack) to mod the pads. first, the opening wasn't big enough to stretch over the Porta Pros, so had to slice and dice. I then cut the hole in the middle around a nickel. after impression: it's very transparent. I thought the...

an update on my Porta Pro, after passing the 48 hours burn-in mark. impact! they finally have some kick. the highs have really come around, which is great. it helps to give it a better balance. the bass got a tiny bit more refined, but still feels a little "large". the mids still sound more...

you said you want something comfortable and non-fatiguing...these are unfortunately Grado/Alessandro's weak points. people are generally fine with the fit and fatigue, but in terms of the volume of complaints in those areas, the Grado design beats out any other brand. no one would argue...

just pick one. you'll be happy with either one. edit: how about flipping a coin? although you'll probably end up going with the one that didn't win the coin-toss....

IEMs look like small penises inserted in your ear. j/k. the e3, e4, and um2 will all be pretty flat and will hardly stick out. the SFP sticks out a tiny bit cuz it doesn't go too far into the ear canal.

hehe, Grado definitely isn't suited for school - unless you don't want to use them during any classes. IEMs would be the best choice for going unnoticed. the 201 would be a great budget choice, with the 280 and Beyer 250 for more-money choices.

that's a surprise. they're only 24 ohms and have fairly high sensitivity...plus they're closed. I would have thought even the 50 ohms 595 would be harder to drive.

holy crap. nothing like headphones that sacrificed living things for their creation...
