The discovery thread!

WOW, 3rd year of uni when you are only 16? :confused_face_2: Looks like we have a genius boi wonder amongst us. Now I have no excuses whatsoever to not to jump on the Somic MT bandwagon since it would not be "smart" of me not to. :wink_face:

So any updates from the seller on those MTs Cash? Hope they bring it back again for the same price but it already looks like the head-fi effect is at full force.

Man you have got to try my modded portable set of S500s then, i wear glasses as well and i can wear them ALLLLLLL day long with zero discomfort due to the overear-pad over the stock pads. That is another reason why i love my S500s so much, for me they have the total package bar none. <3333s

edit: Glasses and headphones is a deadly mix, for the most part they do not gel well at all sadly. :  (



Well Cash it is great you are our boy wonder. It will be guys like you that have a love of great sound that will eventually make something in the future that will blow our collective minds..You have a very bright future ahead of you.. It is great you have music and the love of sound at such an early age too..You keep at it young man and I am sure we will be reading about your accomplishments in the near future.



That is exactly what I was thinking about!  Cash, you are the right guy to make the perfect headphones for all of us.  Let's forget about the Somics and ATHs.  Make us some headphones that will rocket all of us into headphone haven!


Thanks everybody for the kind words! You all made my evening.

So more Somic hype.

I was listening to "Bitch Bad" by Lupe Fiasco (apparently, Rap Sucks. Who knew?) on the Efi. I was treated to some serious sub bass. Being a music nerd, the lowest note I detected as being fully extended was a G1, which clocks in at 49 Hz. This note wasn't rolled off at all. There's also a fairly prominent Eb1, which clocks I'm at about 39 Hz.

The bass extension is crazy.

Are you trying to troll me Cash??? But I'll take that as my cue to shamelessly plug my thread.

On what site did you ordered, ds?. I really want to try these.


Monoprice.com. There is a very informative thread on the first version called the Mp8320. The OP is something else. I like his style.  http://www.head-fi.org/t/580769/the-monoprice-new-mp9927-pg-208-mp8320-mep-933-the-7-11-club#post_7899080

Cash:
 
1)  From what you say, you started college when you were 13-14 years old.  Are you one of those guys whose IQ is off the charts?
 
2)  What does MT in the headphones ID stand for?
 
3)  I wear glasses, too.  And I am a pirate until sfwalcer and Ghostfit declare that the pirate week (or season?) is over.

Cash you were going to compare the S500 and your Somic for me last night.....don't foget!


It's my dad's birthday, so I'm chilling at his house for the night (it was super last minute). It'd be weird to carry two amps, a PC to use with them, and two headphones and do a proper comparison. That's my excuse and I'm sticking to it. XD. (I should have ample time tomorrow.

Seller says that I can contact them directly if I want to buy headphones. Awesome.

Too bad that this doesn't help any of you guys. I'll message them yet again.

Lots of exciting things going on here, AD900X, Somics, new (hopefully improved) Monoprice earphones. Can't wait to see those reviews.  Maybe its a good thing my wife forbade me from buying anymore headphones....
