V-MODA Revolver?
So...another year goes by... Any updates on the release date of the V-Moda Revolver? I'm on the fence about getting a refurb M-100 for $180. I just got the XS today, and I'm loving the lighter bass and cliqfold headband. If the Revolver came out with similar updates anytime in the next 6...- budgetboy

Enabling analogue line out on Macbook Pro (retina)
This is a bit of a niche question, but I'll shoot. I recently acquired a Macbook Pro Retina. On the specs page (http://www.apple.com/macbook-pro/specs/), under "audio", it states: Support for audio line out (digital/analog) Image: http://i.imgur.com/Equbn.png ...- budgetboy

Travel Case for AKG K550 (and high quality cable turtle)
Tdpeek3 - That looks really good, actually. And the listing makes it sound pretty durable as well. It looks a little big though, how does it work out for you in your day-to-day life? Thanks for the great recommendation Ricerocket! I've decided to forgo cable turtles and just get them...- budgetboy

WHICH AMP TO BUY?!
Do you want to be able to use them outside? If so, the Pro 900s are the only real choice there. The Denons have very little isolation and the AKGs have a very long cord. But if they're to be home headphones, it comes down to comfort and sound signature. I haven't tried the Ultrasones, but FWIR...- budgetboy

WHICH AMP TO BUY?!
I'd recommend the Headstage Arrow. Real slim design, great feature set, and you really don't need the added power you'd get with a bulkier amp, as the W3s are ridiculously sensitive. The EQ functions are nice to have, and probably sound a good deal better, in terms of basic bass boost, treble...- budgetboy

Where can I get my K550s reterminated?
I love my K550s. The sound is, to my ears, pretty amazing. But with their sensitivity, durability, and looks, I'd love to use them outside as well as indoors. However, the cable is something like 3 meters, which makes it very awkward to use them out and about. My search for portable circumaural...- budgetboy

Travel Case for AKG K550 (and high quality cable turtle)
Thanks for your responses! inobobo - I think I would be too worried about the effects of the cable bending at such sharp angles. My M50 cable stopped transmitting both channels after months of use. I think I'm looking for something more like...- budgetboy

Travel Case for AKG K550 (and high quality cable turtle)
Hey there. I just bought the K550 headphones on Amazon. Now I'm looking for a travel case that would fit the headphones and protect them, mostly for carrying them around in a backpack. Also, any suggestions for a small cable manager would be appreciated. 3 meters is a bit long for...- budgetboy

beyerdynamic T5p: Photos and first impressions.
I'm sure I'll enjoy the bass, but for things like playing video games or certain kinds of electronic music, I'd like a sound more like a subwoofer on medium volume. My sources are an iPhone 4S and Macbook Pro. I know there's a ton of EQ apps for the iPhone, but I'd rather have my sound...- budgetboy

beyerdynamic T5p: Photos and first impressions.
The Leckerton looks nice, but I'll need an amp with some way of boosting the bass. I've heard these are bass light and I want the option of changing that, even if I don't end up using it much.

Great review. Does the E17 really work well with the t5p? How natural sounding are the tone controls?- budgetboy

Dear T5P owners - would the Headstage Arrow 12 HE 4G be a good mate with this 32-ohm headphone? I love the design, commitment to improvement, and tone controls that the Arrow offers.- budgetboy

Beyerdynamic T5p - Neutral?
I was thinking I'd buy the Headstage Arrow HE 12HE 4G and use the bass boost function if I wanted to listen with bass. I'm sure they could handle it. I think they cut the bass down to increase clarity from low powered sources. Amplification is very important to move the drivers enough to create...- budgetboy

I'd like to pick up a pair of these for listening on-the-go and without amplifiers. I would also like to use them for my college music production program. I'm sure they're revealing enough, but are they neutral enough for such work? Frequency response graphs would be great if...- budgetboy

SRH 940 Alternatives
I'm looking for a neutral, comfortable, closed headphone to be used for music production and listening through a macbook pro and virus ti2 synthesizer. I really like the idea of the SRH 940, but I'm open to other options. Have any suggestions in the $200+ range?- budgetboy

I'm about to buy the SRH 940. I'll be using it with a Macbook Pro for music listening and production, and with an iPhone 4S for music listening on the go. Will an E17 be a significant improvement over the Macbook Pro's DAC and headphone out? How about compared to the headphone out of the iPhone...- budgetboy

I had to do a double take at your avatar, haha that's great. The vinyl tips are one of the biggest reasons i've decided to get the ES5 over the UERM or JH13. Extra comfort and isolation? Don't mind if i do!- budgetboy
