Hi guys, I'm looking for a new pair of cans as a step up from my ms1s/hd25s. I was considering the esw9, partially cos of its looks but I can't decide for myself whether it would be worth it. I listen to mainly rock and metal, and other headphones that I was considering would be the D2000. My...

I see. I think that's another problem I face. From what I've read so far, it seems that many people have had problems mating the W5000 to a suitable amp. Is it true that my best bet would be to use the HA5000? I've been wanting to get a higher-end headphone, something in the range of K701...

Hi guys, I'm currently using MS-1s and HD-25s for home use, and ER-4Ps on the go. I'm considering AT/denon woodies at the moment, more for the aesthetics than anything else cos I kinda like the look. So right now i'm considering W1000, W5000 and D5000. From what I've read and understood so...

Congrats! Hope you enjoy your new stuff! Thanks to Asr for this giveaway too.

mm I love the Marks & Spencer chocolate chip cookies. Real nice!

If I win, then I'll send you $40

Hmm..what about the PX-100s? Good value for money, pretty bassy too.

I enjoyed lincoln preston's new book: The Wheel of Darkness. It was pretty engaging.

War Short or long?

Yup that's true. The shipping cost is included in the $99 price.

I do agree that the MS-1s sound very good for $99, other than their lack of soundstage. I have a pair and I love it. I was just wondering, since the OP's grandfather has been using speakers up till now, the lack of soundstage might be too disconcerting. But they have been pretty uncomfortable...

Pakistan Diving or Swimming?

Hmm. MS-1s have a pretty narrow soundstage, so they might not be that suitable for classical music. Most people find MS-1s to be rather uncomfortable too, as with most of the grado line. MS-1s can be found here: http://www.alessandro-products.com/headphones.html They're the black ones. What...

I tried focusing on her reflection at the bottom and then she started spinning in the opposite direction. Maybe that's all to it?

Just a quick question but are the HD580s really discontinued?

Gah, that would be such an awful way for Hamilton to win. Definitely would leave everyone else gutted.

Actually the "in ear monitor" kind will isolate better than full size headphones. However, full size headphones definitely have better bass than in-ears. Perhaps you could consider a bassy IEM.. super fi 5EB? Edit: Sorry I didn't check out your links. I've no experience with those headphones...

Yeah too bad they're all out of stock.

Yeah I thought about those and I liked what I hear about them but they're pretty expensive.

I see. Thanks for replying. I guess the D2000 would be out of my budget but the RP-21 might do. What about ES-7? Any opinions on that?

Any help guys?

Hi all, I'm currently using the MS-1s but I would like to get another pair of closed headphones. I would say that I'm satisfied with what I'm getting out of the MS-1s but I'm curious about what else the rest of the cans have to offer. They would also have to isolate decently because I might use...

Hm I listen to my E3s just above 0 volume off my ipod nano 2G, and it's already pretty loud.
