    Razer VS Beats by DR.DRE

    DON'T bother with the HD 600/650's without an amp. I've tried using them with my iPhone and MacBook Pro and without an amp, they're simply mediocre. You NEED some type of an amp, even if it isn't very powerful. Something like a Bithead would be perfect and portable, too.

    Mac>Little Dot II++>HD 650. Is lossless worth it?

    I was wondering if lossless audio would be worth it in my situation. Most of my songs now are 256kbps AAC or 256kbps MP3 and I was wondering if I should consider ripping my songs in Apple Lossless or FLAC. What do you think?

    Help me convince my friend not to buy Beats by Dr. Dre!

    I had upgraded from the HD 595 to the Beats by Dre, and loved them. It's hard to compare to other headphones as there aren't many that have active noise cancellation plus a built in amp. However, even for purely sound quality, I was pleasantly surprised and preferred them much more than to the...

    Should I cancel my order for HD595? Budget £100~

    The DT770's came in 2 versions. The 250ohm version you mentioned and an 80ohm version. I can't compare as I've never heard the DT770's, but did own the HD 595 for a while and though they have a nice, wide soundstage, in addition to great mids, the lows somewhat lacked for me until I hooked...

    Running the HD 650 off of a laptop?

    Just got the Little Dot II++ and so far they're remarkable. I haven't received my HD 650's yet, but I've tried them with my Monster Turbine IEM's and already a noticeable improvement. Lows got another level of bass, and vocals sound much more lifelike. I can't wait for the 650 . But...The...

    Running the HD 650 off of a laptop?

    How do you think the Little Dot II++ do for them? I can get them locally for $120cdn.

    Little Dot II++ with HD 650?

    How do you guys think these will sound? I bought the HD 650 used for $265 shipped and can get the LD II++ for roughly $120. What do you guys think? I don't have the budget to spend any more, so how are these going to sound? I haven't received the HD 650 yet, but from what I've read, they pretty...

    Running the HD 650 off of a laptop?

    So after deciding to upgrade from the Beats by Dre to the HD 650, I was wondering what I should use, in addition to my MacBook Pro to get the most out of my cans. Looking to spend $100-200, and since I can't really upgrade my sound card, I was wondering what I should get instead. Will the HD...

    Do The Beats by Dr. Dre really have a built-in amp?

    1 battery is for the active noise cancellation 1 battery is for the built in amp

    Looking to upgrade from Beats By Dre.

    Well, my music tastes lie solely in rap, so would the HD 650's compare overall? Would I be taking a hit in bass? Temporarily, I'd be using them attached to the M-Audio AV40's, until I find a desktop replacement amp. The Beats had nearly no benefit with my Total Bithead Amp which I've sold, but...

    Looking to upgrade from Beats By Dre.

    Ok, so I have an addiction. I will buy a pair of headphones, love them for about a month, and then start imagining how much better my songs can sound. I went from Apple iBuds, to Apple In-Ears, to the wireless Sennheiser RS146, to the Sennheiser HD 380's, to the HD 595's, to the Beats by Dre...

    What watches would you guys recommend under $1000? Looking for something silver, minimalistic.

    Great review! Thanks for the write up. How does the bass compare to the Turbines?

    Monster Turbine Appreciation Thread

    Just got the Monster Turbine's. Must say...They're already far superior to my ADDIEM's. How long would you guys recommend I burn them in for? Should I use the pink noise burn in file? Or some other ones? Thanks!
