    Android phones and USB DACs

    I've asked for the modder's info. Hopefully I can get a ROM and get someone over at xda to work on a mod, but that may be a long-shot. Still worth a try.

    First post, looking for a new headset around $400 budget

    Here's my take:   I started out in the gaming world like you, buying some budget phones (Tritton AX 720) and thinking they were awesome. However, I always wanted to experiment with other cans.   Then came the Ultrasone Pro 900s, which TOTALLY blew me away. My favorite aspect about them...

    Headphones for college

    On the high (~$300) end, the Ultrasone Pro 900s are probably your best choice. They have an ABSURD amount of bass and isolate pretty well. They are also fold-able which helps with portability. I like their aesthetics as well. Comfort-wise, the Pro 900s clamp pretty snuggly which can be slightly...

    Beats Are Magical! And Other Nearly-Criminal Marketing Schemes

    Found this on another website I visit: "lol can't believe people are still asking about these things. Beats were personally made by Dr.Dre. He's a professional musician with a lot of experience working with some of the most well known names in hip-hop. Of course they're going to worth it...

    Grado Fan Club!

    Quote: The Pro 900's. They're good cans but not for rock IMO.

    Grado Fan Club!

    Holy s***. My Grado/alessandro MS2's just came in today and I am BLOWN away. Rock never sounded this good. The midrange/guitar presence puts my Ultrasone's to shame. Grado may have its next new fan :)
