I stopped by the booth last week and had about a 20 minute conversation with the CEO about all sorts of stuff during my "me-time" on Friday morning. He had me listen to the AF140, 160, and 180. All three were very good, but I think the 140 is the one that stood out to me the most due to the...

Heh, yesterday morning was the highlight of my week there. Got to listen to both of the those, the IE800, HD700, HD800, and SR-009 for the first time. Man it was hard to leave. lol

I was at CES with work this week and had some me-time yesterday morning. I was at the Westone booth for about 30 minutes to chat with the sales reps and listen to the singer they had playing into the W40 and UM30's they had set up for auditioning. I jokingly asked if there was a W50 or W60...

All music is in FLAC through Foobar to the E7/E9. Sorry, should've mentioned that.

So I've been using and really enjoying my current setup (E7/E9 -> M50/DT880 600 OHM) for a while now, but I feel the need to move up. I have a variety of ideas, but I'm looking for some advice on both what options to go with AND which piece to upgrade first. I enjoy most types of music, but...

So at the store the other day, I ask a lady if she needs anything else for her iPod to go with the charger she was buying, mainly suggesting a better pair of headphones as I saw the tell-tale white cable of the Apple earphones around her neck. She said, "You think you have something better than...

Selling noise cancelling headphones in an airport for the last 4 years I can say with strong conviction that the QC15 is NOT the best noise cancellation. I've sold more Denon NC800 and Sony NC500D (the digital pair) to people that have come in with QC2/3/15 around their neck than I can count. I...

HD595 for $150 a good option then since they are the "older version" of the 598 or just save a bit longer and go DT880?

Sure enough, normal list price they have them at is $106, so much for getting excited over a "great deal". lol   Back to convincing myself to get some DT880 600's...

Is it worth it? Currently rocking (and loving) the M50 with the E7/E9 combo and looking for something a little different.

I got a shirt at our yearly vendor show a few years ago from Shure that says, "My earphones cost more than your iPod". Great reactions to that shirt. 

Denon NC800. Great balance of sound and noise cancellation, very comfortable and packs up relatively small.
