You know, you can unintentionally rippe a cable from an expensive headphone, i have already done with a 300$ headphones,lol, and its still not very expensive, imagine with ED10 or PS1000 .

 

i wonder how u pay for all that :/

Heuh, i haven't the ED10 or the PS1000 and i don't want them,lol.

True, but have you SEEN the Skullcandy? It's absolutely pathetic. When I heard that the Aviator was pretty good, I went to check it out but immediately dismissed it after one look at that cable. Maybe I'm just spoiled by my Ultrasone.

No, never used a Skullcandy headphone,lol, but i like the look of the gold aviator

The best solution is to have a soldering iron with a good cable, lol.

SkullCandy is trying. This might've been a fluke or they are trying to make true audiophile headphones :/ let's at least give them that. We can't expect them to come out looking like Sennheiser all of a sudden

 Just get the HD598's and be done with it.

?? I recommended the SR850's a while ago. But yeah i know what u mean. they are good for the price but aren't perfect at all.

Since DVD Rey owns the headphones and can compare, i would say they are a good choice.

The only thing to watch out for is the Open design. they are full open and will leak. not for noisy or public enviroments.  it's a personal at home headphone. Amping any headphone over $70(more or less) is recommended on head-fi. Using this in conjunction with an E6 and L9 LOD (if you have an ipod) would be the best choice. getting CD ripped tracks is also extremely recommended. Once you amp and use that LOD. you won't be going back

It goes like this. When u first use it, u will be like. I can hear a bit of diff. Worth $45? Thrn 2 or 3 days pass. The E6 battery runs out. U plug ur ipod in. And its like ..... U basically think about where the heck ur amp is. The difference shows after u use it for a bit. And then stop

I know exactly what you mean, but you'd be surprised how much personal preference can come into play here. I remember reading about one guy on Head-Fi that was talking about how much more he liked his AD700's ($100) than his PRO 900's ($300+). Sometimes you don't need to spend much money to get the best sound in your budget. That's our job, finding your perfect headphone so you don't have to experiment much. 

Yes its true, but its not surprising, its two completly opposite headphones, the most important thing is to know our own musical tastes.
