It's been mentioned that, compared to most 'consumer' models that Bose don't sound bad - and I'll agree with that. To the person walking into Walmart/Best Buy to a small selection of Sony earbuds, JVC cans and the like, $100 is a ludicrous amount to spend on headphones in the first place. So...

Title says most of it. I'm located in Chicago and can meet you or just ship the headphones anywhere, I'll pay a fair price for the work required. The KSC75s should be easy. I have a modded pair with Canare quad star cable that was has come slightly disconnected from it's the terminals in the...

depends on what you mean by portable. You can certainly carry Grados along with you, but if you're using them with your mp3 player walking around ... look into iGrados, but the standard Grado line up isn't going to work out. Super-open 'phones, long long chord.

I have some recabled/ultra-kramered KSC75, Kramered Shure e2c, and 600ohm Beyer DT770. I'm listening to Mozart Season, which is a band that does a lot of clean melodic vocals but also does a fair bit of metal screamo stuff. Beyer made voices sound great and the drums had great punch, but...

thanks for the advice - these are the 600ohms and "dark and bass heavy" certainly isn't how I'd describe them. The bass is deep but certainly not overpowering. I haven't used enough headphones to know the difference between dark and bright, though they're the opposite of Grados ^^. I've read...

So, I'm driving my 600 ohm Beyer 770s with a $100 USB DAC (vivid technologies, there's a thread on it...) and it sounds pretty good, but I have a feeling it could be a lot better. The thing is, I'm driving it from my laptop, so I have either USB, spdif, or laptops built in line-out. Will...

If you answer the above questions, then we could really pin down a good answer for you. Here's a good website to check out a wide range of headphones "headphone.com" "audiocubes.com" if you see some headphones you like, search the forums here and there's bound to be some words on them...

Don't know about SR-225s, but my Grado SR60s worked great with mellow music. acoustic stuff sounded very nice. I'm a Beyer guy, now, tho. The Ultrasones sound like they fit the bill, tho the SR225s might do better with the soundcard. Grado is probably the best bang for your buck. All the...

AOKI takamasa. youtube it, and his website has some AIFF files for download.

So, I'm not familiar with too many classical names, and I was hoping someone could point me to the sort of music they play in movies where at the manor. Just watched the movie '21' tonight, and they have the sort of music i really enjoy at the alumni reunion. Some is played in HellBoy II...

1, cause he says "with you then" perhaps you're hearing them blend. it's pretty clear on my Shures. 2, I don't have the song to listen to ATM, but occasionally artists will end songs abruptly to give the listener a surprise. they teach it in music psych books.

They have a website - for some reason the mp3 downloads on the english site 404, but the russian website has all the full length mp3s for download - sounds great, thanks for the find! Ãðóïïà "Óíåñåííûå Âåòêè" - Ìóçûêà - àëüáîìû â mp3

AOKI Takamasa might have a couple of songs that might fit the bill. His website has a few songs to download (mp3 or AIFF), or his duet album with Tujiko Noriko has some 'sweet' electronia. good luck

Good to see some discussion going on about the amp. Just some observations after owning this amp for a few months. -never had a problem or disappointment with the battery life -it drives my 600 ohm beyers plenty loud, though I understand that there's some difference between high-ohmed...

Well this coax out is, as I said, on a breakout box, so it's not placed next to any sort of power supply, so that's even better, right? Thanks for the informative responses. cheers.
