    Hard travel case for multiple headphones 3-4ish

    the best way is to just a big pelican, and do the foam cutouts.   or you can get the camera insert system.

    Help for newbie - first pair of serious cans.. Is there something wrong with my ears? :-)

    either youre trying headphones that need an amp, without an amp.    or your taste for music is very bass heavy, in that case you should be looking at ultrasone, sony, ath-m50, etc.

    new/complementing setup for the office

    i do find that the q701's lack in the rock section.   But i have a ton of variety when it comes to music. I did try my uncle's 15 year old SR225's and i thought they were warm, with full mids and bass, with punch. but they were a tad muddy when it came to the details.   the challenging...

    AKG Q701 Lima Been Green

    Headphone rewire: Should I use Silver stranded wire or Mogami W2839 cable?
