So I am looking for an MP3 player and I have 3 restrictions with no flexibility:   1. No microphone. 2. No wi-fi. 3. No camera.   It must meet all 3 criteria, and preferably be a decent piece of hardware otherwise.  Any advice would be helpful.

Bumping this thread for a question.  I have used and loved the AD700 for about 6 years now, and when I tried to make the transition to the AD900, I found I couldn't because they didn't have angled drivers, which in turn caused significant discomfort for my ears because they rubbed up against the...

Quote: We got it, you don't like the AD700.  On the other hand, I have purchased the AD900, HD595, AKG K701, K601, Beyerdynamic DT990 and DT770 and every single one has gone back in favor of the AD700.  Just saying, they might not be the manifestation of evil on planet earth.    ...

The noise level in a portable setup is going to depend more on the environment than anything internal.  When I was in college, we used to hook up an antenna to an oscilloscope just to look at the EM noise in the electronics lab with all kinds of circuitry stuff going on.  We'd see 3-5V p-p waves...

The cheap one is the Pro model.  What this means is that it's built with a higher clamping force.  This can have dramatic effects on both the comfort and sound as it pushes the drivers closer to your ears and can feel like a vice on your head.    Also, judging from the picture, that is the...

Quote: This was probably their open box deal, and it is currently out of stock (or at least it's not showing up on their website anymore).  New, they are $250 at Electronics Expo.

Quote: The website shows that they are on backorder right now (and has for a few days), but that doesn't sound right if you ordered them Sunday and got them today.  I've been looking to order them myself, but I've been waiting thanks to that backordered status.  Gonna call them tomorrow.

Quote: The AD900s are not in the same league as the AD700s in terms of comfort.  It's hilarious to me how the littlest things can make the most massive differences.  In this case, there are two primary differences: the AD900s clamp slightly more tightly and, more importantly, have flat...

I had a similar problem with the sound in my HD555s for a long time.  It turned out that the right driver had become dislodged from its plastic housing and was leaning back against the outside grille of the cup.  It was really easy to fix and since they were past the warranty period, much...

Quote:   I was hoping for a replacement to the DT line rather than something falling between it and the uber high-end.

Quote:   That is disappointing.  I was hoping for something around the $200-300 range from the Tesla line.

Looks interesting.  I enjoy the AKG sound signature, but I don't enjoy the AKG comfort with the self-adjusting headbands.  They just don't work for me, but they finally realized that putting some PADDING on the thing might be a good decision.

My HD555s had left-right imbalanced sound for the longest time.  Eventually, I just retired them and bought some AD700s.  However, I recently opened them up to do the foam mod (just out of boredom) and I found that the right driver had actually fallen out of its plastic casing and was leaning...

Quote: The D7000 is a $1000 pair of headphones.

My favorite thing about the Q701s is that its the second revision of the K701 and after years of people complaining about the garbage headband with the annoying bumps, they STILL have the **** bumps in the headband.   What kind of crack are they smoking?  Even if you are one of the few who...
