BUMP.... any ideas? Anything?

Hey guys, I'm looking for portable headphones I can keep in my pocket and use with my cellphone for calls.   In ears are out of the question because of bad track record with them - they just don't fit properly in my ears, and make me feel uncomfortable.  Plus I walk around in the street...

Still no luck for me

Right now I have my GS1Ki paired with the icon HDP. It's a little on the bright/analytical side, but I'm still greatly enjoying it Plan to get a nice tube amp in the future, though. Perhaps something like the WA6....

Apparently, yes. I didn't even know some stores still have the old model in stock.

I purchased my GS-1000i for this price and I haven't regretted it for a second! I absolutely love the laid back sound, and the absolutely massive soundstage. These babies shine the most in classical music pieces, but after some burn in, they become a real treat in other genres as well.

What's the matter guys, no love for the PXC 450? I have 'em and they offer superb noise isolation

So far - a little over $1k Hopefully this will be it for now, at least 'till I gather enough money for some nice custom IEMs

I do sometimes get static, especially around 1-3 oclock. It's not bothersome at all, though. By the way, I don't know if it's because of burn in or just my hearing, but last night I played some tunes on the HDP and noticed a surprisingly large improvement compared to yesterday morning. My son...

I know the Nuforce Icon HDP has a great DAC for its price and I've yet to hear a single complaint about jitter. Plus, at 450USD MSRP it fits your budget perfectly!

Oh, duh - I think I know at least part of the reason for the volume differences. I forgot to mention I'm using an EQ configured using this When I turn the EQ off I did notice I have to tone down the volume by around 1 "hour" so my ears don't start bleeding from the shrillness :P

No, I didn't actually get one, now that you mention it As for the volume levels, I really don't think I hear music so loud so this is kinda weird. Just as another point of reference, to get the same volume at a specific song in both the HDP and my iPhone, when the HDP is at the 12:30...

Well, the HDP was already set as the default sound device, and I checked the levels for it and they were already at 100%. I don't know, maybe I just listen to music louder than you guys do
