Er... Flats have more bass than Bowl's, you're comment should be reversed. The easiest way to describe comfies is the foam covers you get with ear phones, except for a much bigger surface.

It was interesting to say the least. Walk in there at about 3pm, after conveniently forgetting the demo-cd I prepared earlier (groan) and saw absolutely no one there. So I went on with my mission of A/B'ing the AD1000 with the MS2i. But while listening to the AD1000's (which I'm completly...

Haha, if I wasn't so superficial (I don't like the look) I should've bought a pair when I was given insider heads up .

Cheers for the model number. Was looking at getting a new HK, just had to decide on some speakers to throw into the mix with it.

What model receiver is that one?

Nice. I'll make sure to wear a beanie for added cleanliness. My only ordeal is to resist the temptation to hear higher end setups in the mindset of "ignorance is bliss".

You guys mind if a Head-Fi newbie drops by? I'm looking at getting the AD1000's/MS-2, and wanted to have the chance to have a listen to their younger brothers (amped/unamped) to see which signature strikes me.

Are they making you sign in blood? I fail to see why you'd need to question as its NOT a good deal Normally I'd say, don't fall for buying one product just because its on sale over something that you really wanted. Since you say SECOND ER-6i, stepping up a bit and getting a nice rounded...

Azure: You've re-enforced the point that things are subjective. While you may think the cost of the Audigy is expensive, I'm raising my eyebrows at why you're even bothering with a $25 soundcard. I'm actually a bit shocked to read that you spent a whole year to decide on what headphones...

Do you know an accounting/economic sunk cost is? Its a cost that has been incurred which shouldn't matter in future decisions. ie. The cost is now irrelevant. You're COMPLETLY basing your enjoyment of the headphones on how much they cost you. So heres my question to you: How exactly did you...

From what I've read, it took you a year to decide on and purchase an entry level headphone, yet you expected the world from it? Let your ears adjust to the difference, and let it burn it a bit more, it just sounds like you expected way too much from it initially. Don't do A/B with your old...

You guys have pretty much summed up my Tuesday . Looking at MS-2s, and oh its going to be a good sounding day!

Thanks for the headsup on Headphonic, found out they're around the corner from where I work on Wednesdays! I remember browsing the site before, and I was shocked at how expensive the prices were... now I realised they're in AUD!!

On this topic... anyone know the same about Perth? All I see is Senn's :S
