Nice. I tried using duct tape. Pretty dumb idea, didn't work. How's your's holding up?

Also, if your son has been researching his options thoroughly, then he probably knows what he's after. Research is always good.

The big question is whether your kid wants to look cool, or have high quality audio. If he just cares about having decently good sounding headphones that look cool, beats is probably the right choice, presuming you can get them for as cheap as you say. I can't personally speak for the HD 461's...

Hi everyone! I haven't been on this thread for a few weeks, but I have been using that time to listen to a crap-ton (that's about 1.3 metric tons) of music with these cans. My conclusions: Wow. These are fantastic headphones! My initial discomfort is almost entirely gone as I have gotten used to...

Not sure exactly if they're too small, they're just a bit uncomfortable. Probably just my ears, somethings wrong with them, and every headphone feels screwed up D:  I also wear glasses, which makes things worse.  They do get much better after a couple minutes on my head, if I can just hit the...

They came! They sound great! A bit too small :/ but the sound is fantastic. I'm gonna let the hype wear off a bit, listen to them for a few days or maybe a week, then I'll start posting.

I have HD 439's, and like them alot. It all depends on how much they are going for though. Amazon has them for 62 bucks right now, and for that price, they're extremely nice cans. If you are looking for bass specifically, you may not be interested, as while the bass is very high quality for the...

Depends. How diverse is your music? What's your budget?

I've never specifically burned a pair in, as in just setting them to play music without listening to it just for the sake of it. I've never really noticed much difference between a new pair and that same pair after having used them for a while, but it may just be because the change is very...

Nice to see other linux users out there (I'm running ubuntu).  :D         Cans didn't come today, however I plan on waiting for a bit to post my opinions once they do in any case. I may toss up my first impressions here, but I intend to write a review for them, and I reckon I should take the...

Sounds Great! Mine should come in the mail within a few days, a week at the very most. I also bought from Penon Audio, 99USD flat. Very excited. You say it sounded great with your phone, better than with clip+? Any trouble driving it? And have you done any burn in?

I have also found it very hard to find reviews, and had poor luck crawling through that multi-hundred post thread linked above. I did manage to find a review here:     http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2657356    but I'm picking up a pair soon, so I'll post a review here in a few...
