I apologize if this a the wrong place, but I need some quick advice when it comes to an external sound card for my laptop (a Schenker Notebooks XMG P702 in case it's technical details matter) so that I can use my Momentums for my movies and games. Currently my laptop's output sound is far...

Do the D600s require an amp to perform well? I do not intend to buy one.

Thanks a lot to everyone who responded to my question!   Quote:   5 cm? Are you sure? That sounds really tiny by any standards.   Excluding the... "ear flap" (?) at the bottom of the ear, my ears are about 6cm top to bottom, so that's a better measurement to use.   I'm going...

Sorry, throwing something rather random out here, but I'm considering buying these, and have a quick question I'd really appreciate an answer to.       What's the cup-size like? My ears are slightly larger than average, I'd say, and the gripe I've had with around-ear headphones in the...

What's the cup-size like? My ears are slightly larger than average, I'd say, and the gripe I've had with around-ear headphones in the past is the cups have been too small to accommodate my ears, and have instead ended up kind of squeezing the borders of my ears into my head. Naturally this was...

Thanks a lot for mentioning the Sennheiser Momentum. I've been reading a lot of reviews about that, and are starting to lean more towards that than the Sennheiser IE80s, to be honest.   Do you think the Momentum would work well with a laptop as audio source (and an iPhone / iPad) and without...

Edit: content now irrelevant.

After reading this over again and sleeping on it, I'll get the IE80s.   Thanks a lot or the help, Ultrazino. Truly appreciated!

Thank you for another comprehensive response.   With that crash course in the science behind audio, it sounds like I'll go for the IE80, if they will indeed fit the description and expecations I have outlined above (will they?).   Buying two would be an option, but I'd rather invest into...

Thanks a lot for the comprehensive response.   The noise isolation is not really that picky. I travel on airplanes occasionally so it'd be great with rather decent noise isolation, but most of the time there is little or no background noise, hence "some measure of isolation" will suffice...

Hello,   I have been using rather cheap earphones for a long time ($20 - $50 range) and am getting rather tired of the "okay" sound. I enjoy good music (good being personal taste, but the point is I thoroughly enjoy music) and I listen to it in a variety of situations. I'm no fan of...
