KOSS ESP-950 Thread
Quote: It's actually not that great of a price after tax, which many states have. It can definitely get lower but if people get it now the price will likely go back to $999 for a while, so probably best to wait still.- lpan

The Deals Thread (CLOSED! See the last post for the link to the new thread)
Quote: I spotted this, it was a goof where they accidentally did 60% instead, and it seems they rectified it asap unfortunately! Edit: It seems as if before checkout it displays the wrong price and discount, but upon checkout it changes to the intended. Probably a bug rather than an...- lpan

First time buying new headphones. HELP PLEASE :)
Quote: No prob, I agree and think he'll be satisfied regardless of which version he gets. I've tried the 880/600 with the E10, it was acceptable, volume more than enough at low gain, other stuff like soundstage was acceptable. I've tried them with other smaller amps, and it was a...- lpan

First time buying new headphones. HELP PLEASE :)
I don't think it's that big of a deal to run the 600 ohm beyer from the E10. It's unusual, but if the OP is gonna get an E10 and not a considerably more powerful discrete amp, nothing wrong with using it with the 600 ohm version. Dynamics might suffer some, but it's probably not really gonna be...- lpan

First time buying new headphones. HELP PLEASE :)
Quote: Slight sonic differences between the 2 versions, not a big deal. Get the 600 ohm version because it's cheaper. The E10 is alright, far from ideal, but it should do the job for the price. Dynamics and such won't be as good as a nicer dac and amp, but volume will certainly be...- lpan

NEW! Sony Extra Bass MDR-XB600 & MDR-XB800 unboxing videos
Quote: Yeah when I saw your vid, it stood out to me as rather odd that Sony didn't throw in a pouch considering the headphones could fold... really seemed like portability was a selling point yet no pouch?- lpan

AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition
Wait, what? Why are some of you guys talking about new earpads? Pretty sure they're the same. Hmmm... you're probably confused by the "newly designed genuine leather headband and soft velour ear pads" statement in the literature. I think "newly designed" is only referring to the...- lpan

AKG K702 65th Anniversary Edition
Wow, looks sick, the stealth-ish color scheme. Interesting how they did away with the bumpy headband for this version. I'm guessing the street price should drop by quite a bit though.- lpan

How to clean Headphones Velours
Quote: You were rather single-minded with your initial statement, jumping to the premature conclusion (which may or may not be wrong) that his pads were unusable in need of a replacement. As for the OP, he should probably try washing them and then see afterwards if the...- lpan

DT880 headband replacement, help !
The replacement headband you bought is like the ones found on the DT880 pro version, with button clasps. The DT880 premium which is probably what you have doesn't have buttons on the headband, but you can still "replace" it. On some old thread somebody said they just cut off the old headband and...- lpan
