If your only problem is the EQ for portable, there's an app called "EQu" that really drastically changes the sound. It recently got an update that lets it be used in the Multi-tasking bar and on the Lock Screen, so it's basically like the default music app. The only problem is the UI's buttons...

The only hot place I leave my headphones is in the car while I'm out and about or something, but is that hot enough to damage them? Namely, the m50s and 840s.

lmao I think this man just wasted his money. I wish he would sell it to me. :D

King's voice is pretty dynamic. I love it.

Oh goodie, an instrumental talk. NOW FOR RECOMMENDATIONS NO ONE ASKED FOR. For guitar solos, definitely check out some John 5; I swear, he rips so hard he tears off five heads every song he plays. Going into some older, hard rock stuff, Focus' Hocus Pocus is great, and I think the yodeling is...

Seriously starting to get into the Thrash Revival bands like Evile and Gama Bomb(my two favorites, anyway). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_5G8cDxPD2o http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=924bRfmiJ20

For a song written for a game, there probably isn't going to be an album for it until they release it on an EP or something. And I have looked; it isn't on any of their albums or EPs, so you're probably stuck with the lossy version. Alternatively, you could rip it from Portal 2's files...

This thread was all I needed to decide to get the E7. I abandoned my M50 for my Pro700MK2, which doesn't run as well from an iPod as well as M50's do, IMO. My soundcard is also complete crap, so this should be fun~

After I bit more research I managed to find a couple sites in the US. Both have them discounted to around $100(plus like 30 dollars shipping), so they're closely priced to the M50. http://www.gimmedigi.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=2349&currency=usd&gclid=CLSPydzM66kCFUPBKgodqC-QYg

bump. No one?

Anyone in Europe/Japan managed to try them? They don't seem to be in the US yet, as basically every site with them is European or in Japanese. Here's the link to AT's shop: http://www.audiotechnicashop.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=35_43&product_id=87 I'd really like to try these...

Well, do you headbang to such bands? Typically, yes. Do you headbang to symphonic metal? Typically, no. The Grado's response is fast, with raw mids, and the bass is pretty tight. The soundstage, however, is utter crap. The Sennheisers do have the open soundstage with good bass, but it's not as...

This one here works fine for me, for both FLAC and APE.

Gonna bump this, still in the search. Ultrasone HFI-780 is looking like my favorite for now, followed by Audio-Technica's ESW-9.

There's more pics of this up on their site. Rob(the guy in the front of the picture, James is on the left)'s wearing what looks to be different 'phones so can anyone ID those? They're in a much better shot. Lars(the drummer) seems to be wearing the same 'phones as James. If I had to say...
