Will do, but it says they're sold directly by Amazon and not a third party so I doubt that they're fakes.  In reading the Deals thread, some are speculating that there was a mixup and this price is for the pads only.  I guess we'll see what happens, but at $30 I'd say that this is more than...

...well, I'm certainly happy that I chose to drop by tonight.  $30 for a backup pair?  I can dig it.   Here's hoping that everyone's orders go through and these wonderful headphones finally achieve the level of recognition that they deserve.  

...when was the last time I posted here?  May?   Despite the 250ohm impedance, I have been using my DT250 sans power amp for the past few months.  Even with my scaled down Audirvana Plus -> AQ Dragonfly setup these Beyers are still the cat's pajamas!  Scale and dynamics are somewhat...

It has now been approximately six months since I've purchased the DT250-250.   Gripes: Null Desire to Upgrade: Null   This is a truly brilliant headphone. 

Quote:   I haven't read any reviews on it, but the (coiled) cable is certainly more hefty than average.  To call it "uncomfortably large" would be an exaggeration, however.  I use them exclusively for at-home listening and haven't experienced any notable discomfort.

There surely isn't just one answer, but there is a best one: Beyerdynamic DT250. (250ohm version)   My last post: January 7th.  After cycling through a few dozen headphones I've had no reason to further my research after finding this one.  It's like an HD600 with more intimacy.

Quote:   For a lossy stream, I found Spotify to do a serviceable job from both a quality and convenience standpoint.  The only reason why they didn't retain me as a subscriber for a second month is due to what I considered to be an extremely constrained library. (that, along with some...

I paid $150 for my DT250-250 and would've gladly paid more.  When ran through a quality source and amplified correctly, I really can't imagine a more natural closed-headphone listening experience.  I would've purchased a "backup" (or two) this morning but the deal was restricted to Canada.  ...

Quote:   Thanks for the history lesson!  I'm often pathetically ignorant when it comes to what's popular.    But hey, something ambitious being recognized/rewarded is always a GREAT thing!

Quote:   What I'd like to know is when, exactly, Michael Gira transitioned from being No Wave fringe to indie darling.  Perhaps I was just in the wrong circles, but Swans never seemed to be all that popular pre-hiatus.

Quote:   Same here!    ...well, that and it always warms my heart to see the arts celebrated.

Quote:   When it comes to P4k, it's always "hip to be square." ;)   Attempting to appreciate individual songs/singles is something that I made a genuine effort to do earlier this year.  I made a return to Pandora after a several year hiatus, checked out recommended stuff on...

...done!  This limiting to 50 thing just feels right.    *For any albums that were released in multiple versions, assume that I'm citing the standard edition. (i.e. no bonus track/remix nonsense)*     50. Fiona Apple - The Idler Wheel... 49. Dark Time Sunshine - ANX 48. Leonard...

EDIT: double post

Quote:   Advice from a fellow D-Fly owner: pair a dedicated amp with the DT250-250.  Running directly out of the AQ isn't necessarily bad, but you'll be missing quite a lot.  Volume level is more than adequate, but the overall presentation comparatively leans toward loose/indistinct/thin...

Quote:   ...my mistake. ;)   But honestly, it's a game that I knew next to nothing about going into and being absolutely blown away by.  I got it almost a year after it released for free (part of a buy two, get one sale... chose it as my third game thanks to the familiar Squaresoft...

Quote:   It's stated within the context of my needs.  However, if one sought to listen exclusively to concert hall orchestral then the HD800 has specifically accentuated performance tributes that I believe most would consider desirable .  For me, I simply have zero restrictions on what...

Quote:   As someone who has purchased multiple $1000+ headphones and has demoed several more, I'm of the opinion that purchasing more expensive gear doesn't typically equate to greater appreciation for one's musical selections.  To me, the whole notion of pursuing "summit-fi" is largely a...

Quote:   I can fully relate to this sentiment.  I never stopped seeking new music, but with my main listening rig going through a seemingly perpetual evolution over the past year+ I'd spent too much time "compensating" for my gear's performance when making my analysis.  While certainly...

As one final tweak to my (closed) reference rig, I've received a new interconnect today.  In the words of Daniel Plainview:     Nothing noticeably lacking -- nothing noticeably accentuated.  I'll be returning to the gear forums periodically to contribute what I can to the discussion...

Quote:   Call it a hunch, but I thought that you may have enjoyed Ask the Dust. ;)  Also, it's cool to see a list bookended/come full circle so nicely.   I'm thrilled to see Old Ideas so well-received.  One of the most endearing albums of the year for me. :)   Great lists!  Keep...

Quote:   ...really?  I found the bass region of both M4U models to be slightly emphasized.  They do not, however, "inject" bass into places where it's not present in the content.  Source/amp?

Great to see this thread exploding again!  Congratulations to all the new owners of this fine 'phone!
