    Possible modding of Superlux HD 660 headphones

    Over the past few weeks I've been really wanting a pair of Darth Beyers...probably V4 Terminators actually.  I just don't have the money to buy those headphones in the near future, as I'm only a college student.  That's when I remembered the Superlux HD 660 headphones and their similar design to...

    Thinking about upgrading headphones (~$400 or less)

    I'm not sure if the yamahas are what i'm looking for...but as for the VModas, i believe my neighbor has a pair and hopefully i'll be able to try those out.

    Thinking about upgrading headphones (~$400 or less)

    Hey thanks for the responses guys.  I had not heard of those two headphones and definitely will consider them now.  I like the look of the HP-800s a little more than the momentums...but I guess sound quality is more important.  I would like to know how these two compare to the cans i've...

    Thinking about upgrading headphones (~$400 or less)

    I've had the ATH-M50s for about two years now and they're great!  The problem, however, is that I've shown them to my dad and now I can't ever use them.  So I'm using this opportunity to move up to the next step.  I'm considering a few options:   Darth Beyer V4 (Terminators) Denon...

    Problem with ATH-M50: Self-Repair/send to Audio Technica and get portable amp, or Upgrade?

    Hello Head-Fi!  Its been a while.   I've run into a problem with my ATH-M50's:  One of the earcups is vibrating in response to low bass.  Also, the cord is loose by the 35mm jack.  I'm not sure how to remove the large metal covering by the jack, so I'm not sure how to repair that, also, I've...

    Can I fix this? (ATH-M50 issue)

    60 dollars.  I'm a college student and the defect is not earth shattering, its just a little irritating sometimes. I think considering most people try to get them for around 90-100 I did pretty well here...plus i know a lot of people are often lazy and the problem with their product is...

    Can I fix this? (ATH-M50 issue)

    he did not specify, but I'm not blaming him....maybe he just wasn't sure.  The way I can describe it is a "thump" when listening to louder bass, it might only be at certain frequencies too....I'll be doing a test on that shortly.

    Can I fix this? (ATH-M50 issue)

    So i just got a pair of used M50s on ebay knowing there would be a problem with bass over 80db in the left ear cup.  Is it possible to fix this issue or would it cost too much/risk damaging my headphones?   Thanks!

    Portable amp suggestions?

    I'm planning on buying Able Planet NC1000CHA's or NC1100B's (I need closed headphones and noise cancellation is a plus)  What would be a good amp for these or similar headphones for under 100 dollars?  I hear the Mini3 is the best amp you can get for 100 and possibly better than many slightly...

    Quote: Can anyone help me with this decision??? Unless there is a more comfortable, better sound quality closed headphone for a 100 dollar budget.  Noise Cancellation is optional.
