@Olimoronio All the reviews here that say otherwise? You mean yourself and like... 2 others? Good luck with that man. Sure they *might* sound nice, but their quality is downright awful. Go troll somewhere else with your quadruple(lol)posts. Learn to edit. ;)

So that they can fall apart a week and a half later? No thank you. I'm glad these are back in stock, perhaps I can finally purchase a pair. @Katun: The thread's title should be updated. :)

Are these really smaller than the AV40s? I find that hard to believe.   They do look quite interesting, however. I'd like to try them out.    Quote:

Definitely.   Arguably, these are the BEST 2.0 speakers under $150.   I jumped on this deal as well. Unfortunately, it has expired.

Quote:   I think I  convinced myself too, haha.   I decided upon a pair of Panasonic RP-HTX7s in white, for $27 shipped from Amazon. I like the retro design, the SQ is on par with the HD201/202 (perhaps slightly better), and they're more portable due to a shorter cord with an...

  Quote:   Your suggestion helped much more than you know! Thank you nobleacuff.    I'm really liking the idea of the HD202s. Not because I think they'd be comparable to either the JVCs or the Shures, and not because I think they'd be a good fit in terms of diversity of function...

@Landis: That's an interesting observation about the fit of the Shures. Apparently these are available in most, if not all, Apple stores--so if I do decide to buy them, I can try them out there first.

Quote: Haha, well I found my Bx5as to be pretty breathtaking myself! We shall see though.   Btw--just curious--what were your first pair of headphones? 

@GreenStreak: I'm not a huge fan of the ATH-M50s for a number of reasons, so I'm not considering them.   @SimH: How do you think the 750s compare to the 840s? I don't really need DJ headphones, and I prefer the look of the 840s, but if I could find the 750s for significantly cheaper than...

@classakg: I'd love to audition both, but there really isn't any place nearby area to do so--I live in the suburbs of NYC, in NJ. I could always venture into the city for a day, though...   @1Time: The RX900s are "sort of" closed. I've heard that they don't leak very much, but I haven't had...

  Quote: 'Semi-portable.' Reason being that I would mainly use them inside, in my dorm, and I refuse to buy a second pair for use outside. I wouldn't want to use portable cans indoors, which is where I'll be using these 80% of the time.    And you're right. For a first set of cans...

Ah, cool, thanks. xD   I must say, I myself wasn't a huge fan of the 80i's when I auditioned them. I hated the pads--but, hey, they're Grados.

Quote:   I can most certainly relate--please ask him for me! haha :)

  Quote: Yeah one of the things I really like about the Shures is how great they sound unamped (according to the many reviews I've read). I imagine the extra $65 is definitely worthwhile... hmm...   Quote: It would just be occasional portable use, and because I don't want to...

Hi everyone.   I've spent the last week or so looking for a set of cans to bring to college this fall.    I've never really been a "headphone guy," as I much prefer listening to speakers (I have a pair of M-Audio Bx5as that I enjoy very much, and plan to take with me to college)...

Very good review. An enjoyable read through. I especially like your impressions of the HTX7s, I've heard some very good things about them but reviews are few and far between.    Perhaps you may be interested in reviewing Audio-Technica's SQ5s. You can get them on sale for $60 at Audiocubes...

I find it interesting that OP jumped on the Maxells just because of one man's opinion. A convincing man, I'll admit, but just one man--and one that doesn't take kindly to accusations and finds it hard to backup his claims. Despite the hundreds, if not thousands of satisfied users of the JVCs and...

Quote:   Ah, thank you very much. That's quite reassuring. :)   Also I forgot how noisy airplanes really were.   

Also, would the RX900s be suitable for use on an airplane? With passengers on either side of you? 

Hm, I think it's decided then.   I kinda ruled out the A700s, seeing as this purchase will be my first real set of cans (I much prefer speakers) and I fear that I may not take full advantage of them--at least not enough to drop $100. I can always upgrade later.    I guess the cable isn't...

JVC RX900s. $60

Haha yeah, I asked an Amazon sales rep about whether that "1-2 months" was a mistake and was told that they would, in fact, take 1-2 months to ship. She said I'd receive them between August 24th and September 24th. What an amazing deal! /sarcasm So now I'm pretty dead set on the RX900s. The...

One word: Wow.
