Quote: No, I haven't tried another source. It's my best source currently. I'm thinking about upgrading my sound card to a better one, not sure yet which one.    I blame you for having the DJ100. I bought them because of your thread and posts =P. I like vocals, so I always wanted...

I recently got a pair of these. I'm a tad overwhelmed by the mids. They're very forward. I tested this mainly with Acoustic tracks by Paramore, which I remember enjoying more with my PC360.   Any suggestions?   Edit: I feel the vocals are overpowering everything else.

I'd take any below 100 bucks headphone over any Beats, based on reviews.    

Ask the store where you bought them.   Problem solved.

@Armaegis and Parall3l   He has preemptively ordered the HFi 780, and if he likes the sound but thinks he needs more bass, he'll trade for the 580.   I'll tell him to look into the M-Audio if not convinced by Ultrasone.   The Ultrasone Pro 750/900 are out of budget. Not really...

Looking for bass-strong headphones.    A friend tried some Beats Studio and really liked them (the bass). So I'm looking for something between 100-200 bucks that performs in bass like that or better. I guess he's looking for more of a good bass extension rather than a tight bass.   So...

Quote: "Burn-in is not a myth, it just depends on the construction of the driver. Most headphones use ferrofluid to suspend the coil in the electromagnetic gap, or have no spider and the only part to undergo burn-in is the surround of the diaphram itself. To "burn-in" a part you...

Quote: No, that would apply to closed headphones. Closed headphones, no matter the isolation, if you max the volume, it'll leak. But an open headphone, in this case the HD555, is like an.. ugh, open speaker. They'll hear everything. Unless you play at very low volumes, but then, you...

iPod? Creative Aurvana Live. Mod the cable.  

Quote: Yeah, they'll be able to sing the lyrics along with you.

Quote: 160$ =! 70$.

If you want to use them at the library, you will want to avoid open design headphones, such as the Sennheiser HD 555.   I wouldn't recommend the HD 448 really. If you want an awesome sounding cheap, comfortable, pair of headphones, get the Creative Aurvana Live.

Quote: Nonsense? Adequately? It seems our understanding of the word "adequately" differs very much, or you just have low standards. The HD 25-1 II is power hungry, if you're gonna have them hooked up to an iPod, you'll have to almost max out the volume to get any decent sound. There's...

Quote:   Well, what do you mean with full size? The HD 25 is no IEM, lol. Yes, it is portable, but it's full sized. Supra-aural instead of circumaural, tho. The HD 25 looks awesome on pictures, honestly. You know, those you find in the Sennheiser website, all photoshoped and stuff. But...

Senn HD25 MKII??? I guess he means the HD 25-1 II. Anyways, I wouldn't emphasize on the "EASY" to drive part. They should be used with an amp.   Btw, if you care about looks, be careful. The Senn HD 25 don't look too good.

If you stretch your budget 10 bucks you can get the Creative Aurvana Live =p. You can find the beyerdynamic dt235 for 45 euros.   

Creative Aurvana Live. Amazon, 60 euros. Check on reviews.

Creative Aurvana Live. Very cheap in Europe.

Quote: ^ Thanks. That's one rational guy who thinks. The world needs more like you.       And to the rest, no need to get worked up so bad. The troll's posts have been erased, and now it looks like I'm talking to the wind. No need to give me the "attitude sermon". PS...

Quote: No, I never did, lol. Yes, I asked which headphones those were. That's asking for confirmation. I read on ebay they were AKG141 from the 90s, but with no other description. I'd rather trust someone here who knows better. You certainly don't, so you feel the need to troll. Too bad...

Quote: You're completely right. I wasn't clear at all. But if people would have stopped for 2 seconds to think, they would probably have understood what I meant. Instead, people make remarks without thinking, like the 2nd post, and it's just ¬¬..   But you know how it is. One...

I had the Sennheiser HD 25, but returned them after a week (burn in and all). They sound very, very good. The problem was, they have a very aggresive sound. Bright, and it hurt my ears.  I realized I liked a darker kind of sound, and more relaxing.   I also didn't like that they had a...
