I had a listen to both the Q40 and SRH840 over the weekend. I decided on the SRH840's.   The Q40's pushed very hard against my head, even with 5 minutes listening to them, they started to irritate me very much. The bass was louder than the SRH840's, but not as clear. The Q40's earcups also...

After roughly a month's worth of research I'm still uncontrollably confused :)   After weighing up the pro's and con's of a large number of cans, I think I've decided on the SRH840's. I can get them for $215 in South Africa. The other cans are easily double the price here and those that...

Very difficult decisions to make, as I'll be using the cans for gaming and music quite a lot.   Already sold off my Roccat's and getting an ASUS Xonar STX, jsut need to figure out which cans to get.

How do the Audio Technica ATH-M50 or Denon AH-D2000's compare in this category?

OK, it seems I might be able to get the Denon AH-D2000's imported for roughly the same price as I can buy the others locally.   Finding the right pair of cans is really becoming quite the hunt down for me...

Boomp...   Pricing I've seen online is as follows:   Roland RH-D30: $260 Audio Technica ATH-M50: $150   I can get both of these for roughly R2200 ($300 Yeah, South Africa is awesome when it comes to import tax, everything here is just so DAMN expensive)   Now I know that I...

From what I've read, the STX can power phones up to 600Ohm. The is a setting where you adjust the AMP to what your headphones require...

double post, please delete this one...

  Hey guys,   I've been searching everywhere online, but I can't find any info about these cans. My previous thread didn't have proper exposure to these cans specifically, hopefully someone will see the title :)   Has anyone ever heard these or own a pair that could comment? Any advice...

Hey guys,   I can't find any info on these headphones. Has anyone here ever owned a pair or heard them? Any opinions would be greatly appreciated.   My previous thread didn't give these enough exposure, hopefully someone will recognise the title.   I can get a set of these for the...

I've never seen the HD 580's for sale in South Africa.   Another reason I thought closed cans are better, is I tend to disturb my partner at night if the sound is too loud. I can get the HD 595's for R2500, which isn't bad, but the Roland's are a lot more comfortable for cheaper. I can't...

I have had a look at them as well as the 437's, but the build quality is a little off, I'd rather take the plunge and get a serious set of cans.

Hey guys,   New here to the forum, I've been readin a lot of threads and reviews on here for the past week or so, but I've run straight into a brick wall so to speak. Trying to figure out which cans to get... Apologies for the long read :)   Let me start by explaining my situation:  ...
