you should also add the goldring DR150. they can usually be found from about $120-$150

Hi guys, I'm in bit of a pickle here
I tried to buy a pair of JVC HA-RX700s on Amazon, but I found out that the prospective ship date is in one to two months!
They were selling it for $41 with free shipping.
I'm not asking anyone here to be my personal servant, but I was just wondering if anyone know of a similar deal off the top of their head.
Thanks for any halp.

Hi crew, new member looking for my first real pair of phones. This post is a great help, but I'd like to echo the sentiment to update it. Seems like a great way to prevent noobs like me posting a million "which phones should I get?" threads. Which I'm likely going to post anyway.

This is very helpful. Thanks. Planning to buy some new ones.

Always try to hear before you buy regardless of reviews. For the most part. This is more of a gauge for price range

How am I supposed to hear HF-2's in Canada? . Too late, gonna buy them anyways :P

I think you should add the Head-Direct RE0 to your IEM list. It's for sale at 100 bucks from the previous 169. Very good iems.

I was wondering: How up to date is this list? The last edit was over a year ago (04-28-2008) and the member hasn't been online for a while.

I do want to buy some new headphones and was wondering if I can still trust this list since much better things at cheaper prices might have come out.
I don't know, if I did, I wouldn't be posting here.

This is my first time buying headphones of a higher quality than the ones that come with my iPod. I found Sennheiser CX300s on Amazon for about $25 (they're not fake - sold directly from Amazon, Inc.), and I was wondering if you guys thought this was a good deal, and a good choice for a first-time buyer. How does the CX300 stack up to the CX400 ($30 on amazon) and the shure E2C (about $50)?

My budget is $50 or lower, and I'm looking for earphones/canalphones. I want to get SR-60s as well, but they're not as portable, so I think earphones would be better for my first buy.

Any advice is appreciated.

Actually, I may look into getting the AKG K324P. How does this compare to the Sennheiser CX300?

see my avatar, recable it and be done

I found a pair of grado rs2's at a local stereo shop today, they are selling for 375, a pretty good deal. The grado headphone amp i tried them with was 450 i think. Both together is too much for me, but i'd like to snag those rs2's if you guys think its worth it.

so my questions on whether they are worth it:
1. i've heard the rs2's are not worth their price tag, are they worth it at 375?
2. i won't be getting either the grado phone amp nor another High end amp, i will be making my own simple DIY amp, and sometimes be using my e-mu 0202.

with those two thoughts, do you guys think its worth it?

Denon D7000?

Where are you finding those DT770's for $150? Everywhere I search the net they are $269. I find them on ebay for $162, and can do a best offer for $140 probably, but they aren't authorized dealers. Anyone buy from sounddesignaudio? Are these real or fakes?

It would be nice if this thread could get a new caretaker, or we could have a new thread.
