I received the ad2000s from Musician's Friend a few days ago, and so far these are really great except for the mids which are a little too prominent for some music; during some songs it feels like the singer is shouting right into my ears while the instruments are too far back. I've been...

I'm really surprised by this thread. I've read through this entire thread and after 15 pages of posts, only 3 or 4 people have actually heard them and yet besides them, all the other posts have been negative. There's a feeling of covert racism in this thread as people are automatically...

I managed to snag the last two at the Phoenix Fry's yesterday. If anyone is interested, send me a pm and I'll help out a fellow Head-fier.

Is the cable detachable? Pretty interesting if it is.

I'd like to know as well as I've been debating which one to buy between the two

I read that Creative is losing in the Asian DAP market as well, as most people in Asia prefer the small flash players and cheap knockoffs are everywhere. I think in the future Creative will to pull out of the mp3 market and concentrate on soundcards or accessories like the deal they signed with...

According to news articles, Universal is going to start seeking this type of agreement with other mp3 manufacturers, and of course the other record companies are going to follow suite. So this means that either manufacturers will take the hit (highly unlikely considering the audio player...

This is total garbage. Does this mean that soon companies like Creative, Toshiba, Samsung, and every other digital audio manufacturer will have to start paying up to the record labels because they can potentially have pirated music? They don't have music stores but this deal is just paying...

Jeff deserves it. The seller listed the headphones at a BUY IT NOW price meaning that he was perfectly happy to sell at that price. If he didn't bother to do a little research (which would've been easy judging by how good the lettering is on those cans), than its the seller's fault if he under...

Nice going dick.

Looks like Sony is coming out with an updated Eggo: http://www.akihabaranews.com/en/news...t+for+DAP.html Seems like a redesign of the rare D77sl Eggos that were discontinued years ago.

I think Grado would care to some extent, or else Todd wouldn't have asked us not to sell on Ebay. That could be because Grado doesn't want his dealers to complain about not getting a special edition themselves or something, but if Grado thought that someone should have 10 pairs to themselves, he...

When people started relating the sale of HF-1s to ticket scalping I thought that was silly, but after seeing this pic, this is the exactly how scalpers buy all the best seats to screw people over. Crap like this is why Grado will never make another limited edition for Head-fi because blatant...

Man what the hell? Now if there's a reason to get mad this is it. Are you just hoarding them for their collectibilty or do you honesty need ten of them? Who the hell needs ten of the exact same headphones unless its just to resell them later for a profit because of their rarity? Quote...

Does anyone know where I can purchase an a/c adapter for a go-vibe 4? Now that Norm's out of the amp building business I'm not sure where I can get the proper wallwart for it.

Just received my first pair of AKG's from Todd, 701s. The build quality of these look fantastic but I'm a little worried about the elastic band mechanism for the headband; the small rubber bands look fragile exposed like that. Has anyone had any problems with them snapping and breaking, or...

Which would sound better, just based on sound quality, unamped out of an 12" Apple Powerbook headphone out? I don't care about open or closed. Has anyone tried the K701 out of a powerbook or an ipod unamped? How does it sound? I know that the ATH-A900ltds don't need an amp to shine but will the...

For pure sound quality which would fare better, the A900ltd or the AKG 701? I don't care about open or closed, but since these are around the same price which would be a better buy?
