Hey all, I got a laptop recently and so far so good. The audio quality is about to be expected from the onboard realtek chip and obviously I'd like to move up . I've heard of the Sound Blaster X-Fi Surround 5.1 which sell for about $60 cdn. I plan to use this mainly for watching movies...

X10000 on the EBs. I actually sold them because I wanted to try something new but now I regret it. I might get another pair if I can get a great deal... bought my first, brand new for $100 non-ebay.

KSCs are superb in every way except for the foam part. They'll get soggy very quick which is why I think I'll need something like the OMX. Are there similar models to the senn series. Anyone tried the sony models?

Okay. +1 for OMX Has anyone tried the sony lineup of headphones similar to what I'm looking for?

So I plan to jog more often and I was wondering if there are any headphones out there that can do the job well with some of my concerns.. - my head/ears get sweaty very quickly.. so I'll require something that doesn't have foam and won't cover my ear completely - I would like something that...

jant... what is the name of the ebay seller? Is it dpmega??

I'm looking for a midrange priced IEM after selling off my UE 5 EBs. I'm not looking forward to this downgrade but I hope it wont be too significant. So does anyone have experience with these.. any good?

Q40 FTW! edit. my review on this thread. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/m-a...9/index29.html

Thank god for this thread! I decided to take the plunge and purchase my first real set of headphones (had a akg k26 p before). Got it on Monday and I've been very pleased with it thus far. Bass is right there and should be comparable to the D2000 judging from other user reviews. I use it...

I can't give you a comparison of the D2000 vs Q40 but I can vouch for the Q40. Got it on Monday and I've been very pleased with it. Bass is right there and should be comparable to the D2000 judging from other user reviews. I use it primarily for movies and so sound detail is important and the...

thanks for the responses... I'm going to research the q40 and A700 a bit more but I'll probably get the dt770

yeah, thats why I discounted them.. also they are open and I don't like sound leakage

good choice... I use the super fi 5 EBs and cowon d2.
