I'm in a similar conundrum.   I've got a 4th Gen iPod with an 8GB compact flash card in it. It's not doing a great job driving my dbi Pro 700s (300 ohm I think). It's definitely not bad, but compared to my driving my dbi Pros through a home amp it is severely lacking and I can't live with...

Quote: Er yeah thats true but the sound is pretty good none-the-less and the enclosure is indestructable (i've stomped it on purpose) :D

Quote: It's really hit or miss if they even let you return or not. Sometimes they charge you a restocking fee... sometimes they don't. I'm hoping some bloke buys one of these, regrets it for some reason, returns them, gets charged restocking fee, then I can buy em for like 20%...

See my profile pic   I use them for pretty much all my games with the "Heaphone" setting set in game. It sounds like stuff crawling all around me... crazy immersive.

Saw these in a Fry's ad. $249.99 not competitively priced or anything. First time I've ever seen in advertised in a "mainstream" electronics store.

Quote: THEY ARE???!!!   the new PortaPro has an ultra thin cable and the plug is very flimsy (its not 90 degrees anymore).

Koss's marque headphones PortaPro SportaPro KSC75 KSC35 (thanks Goratrix)   Which would you pick and why? This is picking out of the current models that are sold today.   I would pick KSC75 because its more durable than the new PortaPro and doesn't have that reverb issue the...

I'm looking for a cheap under $10 solution to get both LOD (female) and miniUSB charging (female) ports onto my iPod 4th gen. I have a motorola car charger that goes out to miniUSB(male) and a casette adapter that goes out to minjack(male). I want to keep my ipod there permanently except for...

Hey guys lets keep working on it!

i think you'll be happy with the dbi Pro 700 from ebay for $40. It's a steal.   http://cgi.ebay.com/dbi-Pro-700-Over-Ear-Heaphones-German-Made-/200413838417?cmd=ViewItem&pt=Other_MP3_Player_Accessories&hash=item2ea9987c51#ht_500wt_1154

Quote: 2nded, the AD700 's seem like your cup of tea. At BeachCamera they are $84 with free shipping and probably no tax. Well within your price range.

Quote: what mods though?

what mods did you do to the JVC?

Quote: Yeah it sure is. I had gotten the HD205 right when it came out as a gift it was like $49.99 or $54.99, not sure. I needed it for plane trips and studying in the library. Worked great for that but I didn't want to scrap it because its burned in and has served me well and the price I...

So my HD205s needed new earpads. Can't sell these for more than $10 and  I wasn't about ready to send a letter to Germany to request those crappy pleather earpads of pain. I wanted velour and I wanted to MOD!  I heard a lot of people put DT 250 pads on their MDR-V6s to improve comfort and keep a...

so the beyer pads have come in, it looks like some modding is necessary to get these babies on. Also seems like mum doesn't want velour pads on her V6.   i tried out the pads on the 205s without the foam disks or mounting them at all. I just used the clamping force of the phones to keep the...

i own both the ad700 and hd555. i like the ad700 better. hd555 is good though.   ive been playing red dead redemption with the ad700s (single player). It sounds great.

yes

Quote: Please see the link i posted a while back. There is the Audio Technica ATH-M50 straight cord for $90 after a coupon code linked there. I also recommend the dbi pro 700 off eBay for $39.90 plus Free Shipping.     EDIT: brought it to this page to show you   use...

Just played Ratatat - Bilar through my macbook with the dbis. Really nice deep, thumpy, yet tight bass. Very little of the detail was drowned out, so the bass doesn't come at a big expense. Amazing isolation, I couldn't hear any noise and I was in a noisy talkative room. Soundstage is typical...

I can confirm that it's true. However some people like the greater bass presence of the 595 and the smaller sound stage. So because of that there are differences. However the bass is more "accurate" on the ad700 and doesn't affect the rest of the sound; tradeoff is that its not there as much...

I'm saying you could do a lot worse than V6s.   Regardless i recommend SRH440 and tenatively, dbi pro 700 (for $40). What it comes down to though is... listen for yourself if you can.

@joelpearce: So its better in some areas than the SRH 840 and not as good in other?     Music and Movies wise, would say this is better than the ATH M50? Is the conclusion that it is not better than the DT770s or just different?

Quote: Ham Sandwich???

agree that the SRH440 would be a good choice.... but come on, saying the V6's are terrible is a terrible exaggeration. He doesn't have the budget for the SRH840 ($110) or M50s ($110)   edit: this deal may still be valid... M50 for $90 use Code: MTB0310 at...
