    In defense of Skullcandy headphones!

    Dunno if this has been mentioned as I haven't read through the thread, but Beyerdynamic have a service called MANUFAKTUR which lets you design your DT 770s, 880s, or 990s. You can choose the colour of almost any part of the headphones (they also offer wood or carbon fibre), the material and...

    iPod Touch - Battery life

    I've noticed that my Touch also doesn't get anywhere near the battery time that Apple claims, but I was expecting this. I can get about 12 hours of battery just listening to music (mostly Apple Lossless, which takes more battery to read), with Bass Booster on, volume at 75%, Wi-Fi and Nike+ off...

    240GB drive for iMod - Please say this will work!

    Quote: Originally Posted by Singapura Ah, that's good news. I was so hoping for a 160GB Touch and then Apple announced that they would drop the 160GB classic. Don't think that will happen for a while as the Touch uses an SSD (flash) drive unlike the Classic which uses a proper...

    Headphones For Studio Application

    Thanks for the replies, I'll look into each of those models. We picked up the DT 770 M yesterday (the 271 MKII wasn't in stock so we ordered it for later), and so far I think they're really nice headphones. They isolate sound incredibly well (better than any of the active noise cancelling...

    FiiO E5

    I don't think I'll be going with the E5 then if there isn't a good difference in sound quality. How do the CMOY amps worK? Are you supposed to make one yourself?

    Singing with headphones?

    I do some vocals recording at home, so I have noticed a few things with headphones. As you've probably realised, you sing much better when you can hear yourself. Even semi-open headphones like the AKG K 530s you can hear yourself quite clearly whilst still hearing the music well. With something...

    Headphones For Studio Application

    So we're finally settled on DT 770 Ms for drums and K 271 MKIIs for vocals, which we're gonna pick up tommorow, plus I have my K 701s for mastering and monitoring. Now for the guitar 'phones - I was thinking something like Grado SR-80s? I heard they were good for rock music and especially good...

    Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro vs. DT 770 M

    Thanks of the fast replies guys! Is the sound quality of the M that different to the Pro, or can you still listen to music nicely with the M? I think I might be going with the M, but I just want to see how different the sound is. MaZa, I really don't like IEMs at all, I'd much rather stick...

    Why do Metallica endorse Metalli-Cans Skullcandy Hesh and Lowrider???

    Dunno if this has been mentioned as I haven't read the whole thread, but Metallica probably don't endorse Skullcandy at all, it's just for the money. Skullcandy are happy because suckers that like Metallica will buy their "Artist Edition" headphones so they Metallica to use their name on their...

    Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro vs. DT 770 M

    I'm going to buy some DT 770s for our studio, for recording drums (i.e. the drummer will be wearing them). I've heard that these are a good choice, and Beyerdynamic are very easy to find here in Germany (I'm a big fan of them too). Anyway, I wanted to know what the difference was between the Pro...

    Multiple Headphone Stand

    Thanks for the reply! The Woo Audio stands were exactly what I was looking for. I think we'll be going with those.

    Multiple Headphone Stand

    My dad and I are doing a major overhaul of our recording studio, and one of the things that came to our attention is that all our studio headphones (4 in total) are always lying around somewhere and we'd like it organized. So I was wondering if anyone makes a modern, stylish desktop headphone...
