DIYS are always a rewarding experience as you make things yourself and learn a lot but it takes much more time.  Anyway,  out of curiosity, what's the next DIY on your list? 

Haha. I had this problem with guitars but since I had all kinds of sounds I wanted, I've been controlling myself. I still wouldn't mind having this or that guitar but I already have the "tools" that I need and gear occupies space very fast.  About audio, of course, since I'm studying Music...

This is obvious but do make sure you want open back headphones or closed back. Open back will not isolate neither your music from the outside nor the outside/external noise from your ears.  I'm also in college and had to buy a portable closed back set as the open back wouldn't be proper If I...

Do you Headfiers suffer from GAS? (Gear Acquisition Syndrome) If so, how bad is your case?  I've a nice closed back and a nice open back headphones. I'm going to buy one more closed back and 2 amps. That's it. I'll be satisfied and can't seem to think of a reason to get more "head-fi" gear.   

Going to order them next month. Can't wait to try them!  I will post here how comfortable they are to me, then.

I had forgot about that (resting the band on my head more than relying on the cups) but I remember trying it and they still hurt my jaw after a bit. I guess I'm going to try the DT-770's since they are a bit lighter than the Shure.

Thanks for the reply. I'm actually torn between the DT-770 and the Focal Spirit Pro. How comfortable (weight and pressure) is the Beyer Custom One Pro and the DT-770 comparing to the SRH-840?

Here goes my second post... Can you recommend me a pair of headphones with good isolation, that I can bring to college for sound design and music production (for the media)? Something not too pricey as I won't depend on them to finish any work (I have good open back headphones and monitors at...

Thanks for the suggestions. I think I'm going to go for one of the JDS Labs amps.   Also, I didn't' mean portable as in walking around in the street, public transportation, whatever with them (that's for another thread) but I want a setup, portable enough to be able to bring to college...

Hi! Like many, after lurking the forum for many years, I've finally registered. Anyway, I just got a huge deal on a Sennheiser HD800. What portable amp do you recommend me? I'll be listening (mostly) to Nine Inch Nails, Jane's Addiction, Alice in Chains, Deftones and other mainly...
