hope this isn't too much of a necro post. I have an e10k and like it and use it at work. I'm very happy with the improvement over my laptop's output I'm able to get a good deal on a pair of almost mint condition HD800s from a friend of a friend - I'd be paying less than I could sell it for...

I got the D600s (it took a while) and have been using them for a few days now. At first I didn't really like them all that much. After a little while though I've grown fond of them. I like their sound signature and I'm noticing details in the lows that I hadn't before.

I ended up going for the D600s. I almost pulled the trigger on the SRH1540, but I'm making an effort to be somewhat cost conscious (after tax and shipping they're at 550). I found a lightly used set of D600s for 220(250AT and shipping). Chances are I'll gift the D600s next Christmas and buy a...

Current considerations are: Shure SRH1540 <-  bit of a stretch price wise... sounds really intriguing though, but not sure if it's bass heavy enough Denon D2000 <- seems alright Denon D600 <- sounds like a good fit Will do further due diligence and will likely buy something tomorrrow...

I'm open to anything and everything. I have more than enough money in the bank, no debt (ok student loans but those are at 3%), and live off half my income, haha. My primary concern is being able to bank enough to cover a lot of the expenses of an MS+MBA program. Any other names? I'm more...

HOLY SEASONAL PATTERNS BATMAN Regardless the gain is significant. I wonder if this growth more closely follows an exponential, linear or sigmoid pattern. I'm thinking the latter with the peak equilibrium having already been reached more or less (those who might care about headphones already...

I'm looking for an upgrade from my now worn out and aging Beyer Dynamic DT770 80ohms which will likely become a gift after new pads. I have a Sennheiser HD 598 for gaming purposes and it satisfies a number of purposes. I wish this set to complement it and to be more about "fun" than anything...

I'd agree with that. The people on sites such as this tend to be atypical cell phone buyers as well though. I feel that most people upgrade every other year. I also suspect that many people here tend to be of higher socio-economic status(relative to the rest of the developed world and FAR...

The life cycle for headphones is a bit longer than for phones. I've only worn out one set in 4 years and I wear headphones for between 4-20 hours almost every day without fail. The set that's worn out could probably be fixed with new pads and a new headband. From the moment where I started...

I alternate between the Sennheiser HD598s and Beyer Dynamic DT770. I drive them with an x-fi titanium HD.

As a PC gamer who owns neither console and sees little reason to own either for some time - Graphics are expected to be largely indistinguishable at the present. As time goes on the gap between the two for ported games will increase though I doubt it will be substantial. For exclusives, the...

I've never had anything other than onboard sound before. I want to step it up. It needs to be PCI-e. Use will be mix gaming, movies and music. Mostly music. I'm not a professional gamer and I don't need the last .1fps or marginally better positioning, I probably wouldn't be able to tell. I'd...

I'm looking to improve the SQ on my laptop and I have relatively little idea as to where I should start. I don't want to drastically compromise portability and cost is a factor. I don't need the best quality out there, just something passing, I want my laptop to match my cell at last. Hello...
