AS far as making the pros and cons clear, i think a slide of text on the video listing these pros and cons quickly would be great.

I would like to take part as well. Just entering the audio world and own a sennheiser CX300 and the Hd280 Pro. Like both but I want to try out the monster series of headphones. I've heard excellent things about the copper series. My rig is pretty simple but to my ears sound good. Rig: iphone...

i think the fact that trebel is harder to produce w/ giant drivers is true just imagine the energy draw of trying to vibrate something of that mass a such a high frequency.  E= mv^2 so if the velocity of the driver's vibration increases then more and more energy is required.

try and build a cmoy. that's a good experience. you can also buy a PA2V2 from Gary.

Quote: lol. awesome solution u have there. :) I've heard the HD600 is a headphone that does many things right compared to other cans.Have fun with the 600s. 

Not to  be rude but... HOW DOES IT SOUND?

that is a good beginner set-up. have fun with it. the only thing that i would nitpick is that the money on the 595 was wasted because the 555 has to same driver. a couple of mods would get you identical sound at a lower price.

the popping and other sounds are from the headphones clipping the sound because they are being overdriven

Quote: yeah, that's the one.  If it sounds good, then it should be legit. if it is a fake, the sound won't be good. Yeah, i'm sure they are supposed to be on the bassy side.

they look legit from a video i saw. it was posted recently. on august 27. Take a listen. if they sound on par with the sound signature described by the folks here, you should be fine. If it is fake, it probably is going to sound pretty bad.

It turns out in that thread that the headphones are terrible. Go with the M50. apparently the WS70 sounded good before burn in but after it sounded terrible.

from what i saw from some reviews, the WS70 has tight bass that comes and decays fast. the impact is good but the bass doesn't stick around for long. If what you are looking for is the booming subwoofer kind of bass, i would look elsewhere.   EDIT: OP, i would...

The ATH-M50 has had a reputation of being bassy. Give that a shot.

I think you might want something from Grado as that caters more to the rock/ metal camp.

I have had the HD 280 for a few months. got them at the beginning of 2010. It dies get better. the bass does open up, the highs get less shrill. So just burn it in like crazy. non-stop for like 50-70 hrs. if you don't do that, you are going to be stuck with a crappy sounding headphone that is...
