An iphone isn't exactly the best choice for hardware sound quality though. You'll also want to take into account the burn in time for both the driver and ear tips for the IE8 if you just got one recently.

Maybe because you're using onboard sound from your PC? lol

I listen to pretty much the exact same selection as the OP. ASOT, TATW, GDJB, etc. I got myself the AD900s and no, they don't work well with this genre. The bass is way too light and the light beats in tracks that go tap tap tap (Treble area) between the boom boom boom got a bit too glaring for...

I got myself the AD900s along with a D10 and 320kbps tunes. I listen primarily to trance DJs like Tritonal, Andy Moor, Gareth Emery, Markus Schulz, AvB, Above & Beyond, etc. My opinion? Bad choice. I am a fan of bass and these guys are light on bass. The hi's were also a bit glaring. Good...

So I have the CX300 here and enjoy the amount of bass these fellas give of when I listen to trance like what you would hear on 'A State of Trance', etc. Would these IE8s be a nice upgrade? Will I hear some nice deep bass rumbling around and all? lol

While the D10 may be made in China, the many people here that have one can attest to it being a quality product. The shipping itself is super fast (I was surprised when I got my D10 from China to Australia twice as fast as getting headphones from within Australia to another part). A part of...

After searching the forums I have yet to really see a concise opinion on which is better for trance, say Armin Van Buuren's "A State Of Trance". Would the DT880s be better or the DT990? Bass is rather noticeable with trance so would the DT990s be overpowering there? Then there are also female...

How would you guys pair the DT990 with a Pico or Predator? Any sibilance problem or such?

Hey guys, how does the Predator live up to the Beyerdynamic DT880? Does it provide it with enough power to fully enjoy those cans?

Just curious but how do these guys go with the Beyerdynamic DT880? If they work really well I might consider grabbing them.

For me my headphone knowledge extends as far as using IEMs with portable music players (Eg: CX300s with an ipod). In the near future I'll probably get a Bithead along with a pair of quality headphones (Sennheiser HD line most likely. HD650 would be awesome but I might go for something...

I have to say I'm glad I came across this thread. Before reading this, I naturally assumed all that could be done to improve a laptop's SQ would be to buy a soundcard such as those made by Creative (Eg: The expresscard or Audigy NX lines they have). Right now I'm quite convinced that getting...
