Cool.  I bought them from a US seller on ebay. Hopefully they don't take too long to get here.

I'm curious about some headphones to use while riding my bike and I don't like earbuds.   On ebay the portapros are $50 in the US but they are $100 in Australia.  On headphones.com.au they are $134.   Are they for sale anywhere in Australia for a reasonable price?

I like this idea.  After getting a couple different sources and pairs of headphones I now think it's basically useless to talk about headphones without talking about the source/amp aswell. The source makes such a massive difference.   My AKG K601 sound great through my EMU0404 -> Little...

I've also had the hanging problem with google chrome (though luckily it only hangs the single tab). I've had this on both my 32bit vista machine at work and my 32bit ubuntu machine at home.   Once when it happened I got a message about a script taking too long. I'm running chrome...

I had a listening session last night and compared my headstage lyrix to the emu0404 -> little dot II combo. I was really surprised by the lyrix, it sounded just as good as the emu0404 -> little dot II setup.  When I turned on the lyrix bass boost it sounded better than the other setup! The...

Quote:   I had a uDac for a while and it didn't power my K601 very well at all.  It sounded great and powered my grado SR225 nicely but the K601 needed more power.  I ended up selling the uDac to my flatmate who has a pair of senn HD202. I also have a headstage lyrix pro usb which is...

No idea which one would go best with the K601.  I haven't got around to doing any tube rolling myself yet, still running the stock chinese tubes that came with it. 

I've been giving my K601 a bit of head time recently.  I'd forgotten how good they sound running through my EMU0404 into my LDMkII. My flatmate has a brand new cable on his HD580 so I've been comparing them a bit and the sennheisers sound muffled and drowned in mids to my ears.   RedHorn...

I got a pair of SR225 off the trade forum here for $200AUD.  If I were you I would put up a "WTB" post in the forum here.

Quote: I own a pair of SR225, AKG K601 and Senn HD595 and I've never understood why people find the grados uncomfy.  They weigh almost nothing and don't clamp hard on my head and with the TTVJ flat pads i forget that im wearing them.  I do find the bowl pads horribly uncomfy though so...

I use my grado SR225 in a silent office with 4 other people around me and no noise except for aircons and computers.  Noone has ever even mentioned being able to overhear my music.  It's such a small amount of sound leakage unless you're listening at deafening volumes (and that's not gonna end...

Really? I recon the SR225 looks sweet as.   I am a dirty ranga though

I have a pair of HD595 and grado SR225 and both of these are light enough to be 'portable' though the grados are probably the better of the two for it.  It depends how portable you want them to be though, you couldn't go jogging with either of them but sitting in a car would be fine.   Just...

Ahh ok 5 lines. I initially tried this but it didn't work until i manually added a 'br' tag to the source of the signature.

The last line in my signature gets joined to the line before it.   I enter it like this:   ------------------------------------------- Team Australia. Sennheiser HD595 Soloz cable. EMU-0404 -> Little Dot II -> AKG K601. Headstage Lyrix usb Pro -> Grado SR225 recabled. Nuforce...
