Hello,   I'm currently buying my second set of nicer headphones.  The last pair I bought was the Audio Technica ath-m50's, if that is a useful reference point.  I'm looking for something with more bass this time around, and was thinking about buying the AH-D400's.     Has anyone has...

I don't think that the album is dead at all.  Maybe the albums being shipped by the million aren't great concept album, but that doesn't mean they don't exist.    Recent album purchases: Bassnectar - Vava Voom Bjork - Biophilia Iiris - The Magic Gift Box M.I.A. - Vicki Leekx (In...

The weirdest album I've ever listened to is Medulla by Bjork.  She created an entire album with the human voice.  She hired a few beat boxers and throat singers for the job.  It really is amazing what she did with it.   This is the weirdest song off of it...

There's another aspect to this argument that hasn't been discussed yet, probably because this is an audio forum and not a chart forum ;).  However, it's important to point out that not every year is the same in pop music.  If you examine the charts, you'll find that there are some years where...

Quote:   I totally agree, but I still can't stand people ranting about "the music industry's downfall."  It just so happens that I don't enjoy last generations music, but I don't think it's bad nor do I create threads complaining about it.  The key here I think is that each person has...

I totally disagree with the idea that modern pop music is disappointing.  To start off, I think that it needs to be said that I don't believe in albums that have perfection production.  Perfect production is subjective and varies from person to person.  For instance, I believe that Bjork's...

I love the first two and the last two.  Lately, I've really been into abstract electronic music.  The rest are just okay, though.  

^^ Same here.  It might be intended?  

Quote: Hmm.  Very interesting observation.  While high end photography is facing decline, it is odd at how it's doing so much better than high end audio.  I have two theories as to why it might be this way: 1) As my favorite musical legend Bjork would say, people's eyes are trained so...

I voted below average.  The design is awesome, but who's idea was it to make them poop colored..?

Bjork has some of the most perfectly produced popish music in history. However, she's a genre all of her own. I would recommend listening to her album's post and deput, as they are the most normal. Then homogenic and Volta. Then Vespertine. Then medulla. You'll probably get scared if you...

My personal opinion is that it is both a change in the headphones and in your head, with you head being the larger change of the two. Studies have shown that there are physical changes that occur within the headphones that cause the sound waves they transmit to alter. I'm sure this has...

Thanks for the advice! My m50's came in the mail today. I freaked out because it arrived 5 days earlier than amazon was telling me it would. Definitely happy about the purchase. Quality is a big step up for me. I'm hearing things in songs that I've never heard before, and I have a critical ear...

Thank you for the responses guys. :). I've almost decided to go for the m50's. I'll probably order them in a week or so. Just one more question, though. Obviously, coming from someone owning Skullcandy earphones, I'm used to an artificial overly-expressive bass. From reading, I've gathered...

Hello! So I am brand new to the area of high-quality headphones and need people with more knowledge on the topic than me to make some decisions for me. :)   I've been doing a lot of research over the past few weeks and am currently looking at the Audio-Technica ATH-M50's or Denon AH-D1100's...
