Best closed headphones I had heard - very flat response, almost no midrange distortion, very easy to drive (good for portable), good soundstage (definately better than K240), good isolation, but...

Overall excellent buds, very good sound quality, especially for their price, the medium set of tips fits exactly in my ears and provides a near perfect seal. Bass is very detailed, but not...

I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90...

First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

I've decided to use my now secondary headphone amp in my bedroom, and connect it to my tv.The problem is, my Samsung has no RCA outs, and my headphone amp uses only RCA connects.There is an optical out, but then am I'm stuck needing to buy an additional DAC?,something I was hoping to avoid, I wanted to keep this uncomplicated.My model is Samsung LN46C630 the amp I'm connecting to is the Graham Slee solo ll

any help would be greatly appreciated

I'm in the same boat. Looking for a cheap fix. Everything points towards the D3 right now.

I'm actually kinda shocked that there wouldn't be a couple of RCA outs on this tv, but it wasn't a consideration till now.I figure this is a great way to avoid the ole 'turn it down" from the wife during late night viewing, and help justify my 4 headphone stable.A win win! scenario if I ever saw one.
