HUUUGE Basenoter here. I've taken a pause for the cause though to enjoy what I have.  Right now, it's Monsieur de Givenchy and L'Air du Desert Marocain as my MVPs. 

Okay, I'm gonna be honest here.  After listening a lot to these headphones, I'm really not seeing the big deal- with any of this headphone crap.  I'm a piano student, so a lot of my effort and training is geared towards hearing minute differences in music.  And maybe I'm wrong here, but whether...

Quit as well. Formerly a fan of Parliaments, but when my tastebuds matured, I realized how nasty they were. Moved on to Marlboro reds and then stopped. The money's going towards better hobbies now anyway. 

Quote: Oh awesome, will do!     Oh another note, I'm finding my Q701s a bit stufffy; strange considering that it should have a good soundstage.  Any ideas? 

Sub-topic: Favorite hip-hop group?  Other than Wu-Tang?  

O2 should be fine for both of these. Even my laptop's integrated soundcard drives the Q701 pretty well. 

Oh hell yeah, Nujabes is hip-hop. Top-notch producer.  I can't really find stuff of him DJing, so I wonder if he's good at it, but his beats are great. 

This is pretty lol-worthy, just as a matter of circumstance. Only because I'm nerdy enough to know who "Uchiha Itachi" is. Heh heh. 

Great poem!  Have you persuaded any of your students to spend the big bucks on audio gear? 

I've had my Q701s for a few days now.  They actually sound great coming out of both of my laptops, but not from my iPhone.  I haven't tried running them on other sources yet, and I'm getting my Objective2 amp in the mail today.    I'm really just starting out learning about head gear, but I...

Blue Velvet: Really weird movie, first Lynch I've ever seen. I wasn't the biggest fan, but I do think it's a pretty well made movie. 4/5

Crap I listened to today:   Skillz, Gang Starr Latch, Disclosure Blue Train, John Coltrane Sonata No. 26 "Les Adieux", Beethoven (Schnabel, Schiff)

In the same boat here. I'm looking to try some closed cans, to really get the "recorded in a dark studio" effect rather than the open soundstage of the Q701s. I'm thinking Logitech UE6000.

I'm starting out on Scotches (just like cans).  So far I've only extensively had Glen Moray 12 and Glenmorangie 10.  The Moray sucks, period. I'll work my way up from there. Or maybe I won't, I'm already bordering on alcoholic.
