For the record, I was putting forward my personal experience looking around at random headphones I could find that caught my attention with the limited time I had. Did I state I was writing a competitive shoot off using headphones from the same price point? No.

Why is it so called audiophiles seem to forget sound quality is always subjective. xD

Thanks feNcheL for the great response.   I didn't know Mingo's has a main shop, I will certainly check that out. I agree with you that I should hold out on the amp and cable till I figure out what headphones I want.   I currently have a Cambridge A5 amp and Eltax III monitors, so want...

Thanks for the lengthy and informative post RPG, appreciate the wise words.   redwarrior, I went the Wan Chai's Computer Center and there are about 5 or 6 headphone shops there including Mingo. You are right, as soon as I heard the amp my jaw dropped. I nearly coughed up the cash there and...

Noted Hester, thanks.    I instantly fell in love with the S300's before using the amp and already made my rather limited opinion then that I felt they sounded better than anything I had tried previously. The amp just nailed it for me, but I have already made a plan to go back and test the...

I haven't purchased anything yet guys.   First of all, I'm new to this, I thought I made that abundantly clear in the thread title. I'm not under any sort of illusion, lol.   Secondly, of course I know you can't judge headphones after ten minutes, you only get a teaser. But then what am...

Maybe I didn't pick up on all the nuances from the D2000 and if I had more time with them, I'd be able to see them shine more. As it stood though, I had about ten minutes with them and the Panasonic phones and felt about the same level of excitement and love for them both. That's simply my...

One reason the SL300 sounded better than the XB1000 was that it was straight out of the box, so they weren't burnt in. As for the D2000 (definitely burnt in due to wear and tear), I honestly preferred the SL300. As I said, it just made listening to the music I like (Hip Hop, Metal, DNB) more...

  Right, so if I am a troll, the point of my post would be exactly?    Instead of the benefit of the doubt, I get called out. Nice forum.   In hindsight, I probably shouldn't have mentioned cash, but then I figured who here lives in Hong Kong anyway.   Seriously guys, i'm just...

  I've been reading these forums for over a week now and thought I'd join up and tell you guys how it went listening to a bunch of headphones today. I live in Hong Kong.   I started out with the AH-D2000 and straight away liked the focus on bass. The cups were comfortable and I found them...
