I've never heard of the 99 Classics, I feel like if it had more bass it would be perfect. I'll have to check locally to see if any store carries it so I can demo them.

I miss the soundstage and the clarity. I feel the 650 excels there. I do wish my momentums had some more bass. I miss the punchy bass of the Ultrasones Pro 900s. I think my search should be defined as a fun, closed headphone in the $300-$500 price range.

Thanks for the recommendations. I'll look into the headphones you mentioned. Would you say the P7's are your go-to from the ones that you mentioned? I heard Beyerdynamics are bass heavy. Do you have any experience with their closed headphones?

I just got a pair of B&W P5s Series 2 for my birthday. I almost opened them, but then thought what if I add some more $ and upgrade to something better. I have a HD650 at home and over-ear momentums at work. I would get something for my home rig, but I don't really spend much time...

Hey guys,    I just wanted to check back in here to give a everyone a big thanks, especially Ancipital  for recommending the Modi 2. I got it the other day and was absolutely blown away by going from an onboard sound card to a DAC. Even a budget one at that.    I've been re-listening to my...

I did uninstall them, but after restarting the PC and checking under device manager, I noticed it's back. The sound is working correctly though.    I know the Modi doesn't require drivers unless playing 24/192 content. I want to make sure I disable everything so the audio is only processed by...

  Thanks Husky22. The issue was with my video card drivers, they automatically installed audio drivers (It usually gives me an option to exclude). As soon as I uninstalled them and restarted my PC, everything went back to normal.    Either way I just ordered a Modi 2 so that should be a...

Thanks for the suggestion. I'm really liking this DAC and might just pull the trigger (doing some research).  Sorry for the dumb question, but what's the best way to connect it from PC-->Modi2--->WA6SE ? I want to make sure it bypasses the onboard audio drivers & I heard USB is not the best...

Thanks for the suggestion, I ordered a new cable, but just found the issue was with my sound card.    I connected to my phone to the amp and the sound is perfect.    I've been putting it off, but it looks like it's time for me to get a dedicated DAC and stop using a sound card.    I see in...

I've owned my amp for more than 5 years and never had any issues. A year ago , I noticed that the right channel was slightly quieter than the left. I re-seated the tube and everything was back to normal. This happened last week and re-seating the tube didn't fix the problem.    I'm using...

Thanks for the recommendations. Already looking at Sony MDR-1R, l think they look great. 

Never heard of the Amperiors. Will definitely look into them and do some more research.    How would you compare them to the Momentums? What are the +/- ?   Do they isolate well and which pair do you end up reaching for more?

Hey guys,    My coworker is looking to spend $300 or less on headphones and the 2 main requirements is that he needs them to block out noise/sound isolating and to have a microphone to be able to take calls.   I believe he will be listening to music straight from his iPhone.    He...

Ah I didn't check B&H. I'll recommend it to some of my colleagues. Thanks.

Quote:   Yea I don't think it's fair to compare Uptowns to the Denons.    The fit was great. The isolation is very good, much better than the Denons, even with the J$ pads.   The bass isn't bad, but it's just different from what I'm used to. Again this is because I unplugged the...

Just got em a day early.    Early impressions:    - They are very good looking in person - The cord does look and feel super cheap - I feel like they have no low end, listening through my E7 - The highs are very good - I miss the bass on my D7000   How long do these take to...

Thanks to everyone!   After weighing my options I decided to get the Phillips Uptowns.    I should get them in a couple of days. I'll try to remember to come back and update this thread.

Definitely helped. Thanks for the comparison. This is exactly what I was looking for. 

That's great to hear. You're making my decision easier.    The only thing that I could do without is the audio controls and cheap looking wire, but can't really be picky when getting it for $100. I'm pretty sure if they added a nice cord, the price would have been significantly higher.   ...

Thanks  guys!   I'm gonna do some research on the Phillips Uptowns. Those simply look awesome, I just hope they sound as good as they look.    Right now I'm torn between Sony 7506, Phillips Uptown, and ATH-ES7.    I'm gonna try to narrow it down to the headphone that isolates the...

Just found ATH-ES7 for $105.   What do you think about them? The only thing that may prevent me from getting them is the lack of bass. Other than that I've heard good things, but not sure about the isolation.  ...

So far I'm leaning towards the Sony 7506 unless there is something better in the price range.   Also, will the FiiO E7 make it sound any better?

Purple,    Thanks for the explanation. 

Do the pads isolate better or are they just for comfort?

Thanks guys.    I was thinking about adding about $80 out of pocket and getting something nicer, but I just found out these headphones will not be mine to keep so I'm gonna try to find something for exactly $100 or lower.    @MalVeauX: Out of the headphones that you recommended, which...
