I have had the older version for over two years, in that time i have had to replace the plug around a year ago and the casing came apart on the left ear piece this also caused the connection between the armature to be severed but it soldered back on easily and they are still going strong. They...

Yeah sorry about the grammar :rolleyes: Basically both the 80ohm and 32ohm will work on a mp3 player however the volume will not be as loud on the 80ohm as they require more voltage to reach an equal volume. So if you will only listen on a portable device and/or laptop the 32ohm is the one i...

Sorry about the grammar the bloody auto correct on my playbook is useless

As i own the dt770pro 80ohm i can say the clarity is very good with great bass and highs the mids are a little recessed but only very slightly. As a guess I would say the 32ohm version will have more bloated bass and less refinement in the highs the 80ohm will sound good from an mp3 player...

Basically beyer do their headphones in different resistance ratings(impedances) generally the higher the impedance the more refined the sound however a dedicated headphone amp is needed. So a 32 ohm perfect for a ipod or decent mp3 player 80ohm ok for an ipod however a portable or dedicated...

As hipster2010 said the dt770 80ohm (my current favourite can i own) sound good out of and ipod however they improve with amping so they are a good can for a future improvement in your system and imo better than the m50

Really really they are fantastic for classical as they have a good bordering excellent soundstage so are also good for movies however they do lack alot of sub bass so not good for dubstep. Take my opinion with a grain of salt as everyone is different but go and read some reviews as there is...

For sheer comfort and build quality the beyers are the best that i have seen in any headphone i have ever owned as they have all user replaceable parts where afaik the audio technicas don't and are no where near as comfortable if you have a large head and/or ears. Also they sound far superior to...

It depends on the type of music that you listen on them as grado excel at rock and the at 500and 700excell at classical and some jazz overall it depends on your choice in music :darthsmile:

The creatives are closed so will provide decent isolation but if you want to go for pure sq open back is the way to go and then i would probably say to have a look at the audio technica ath ad500 or 700 or the grado sr60 or alessandro ms1 It however depends on your needs/requirements :darthsmile:

Take a look at the creative aurvana live they are just rebranded dennon ahd1001 and are very well regarded bang for buck cans and are also very good all rounders despite the bass emphasis imo Others may have better suggestions but they are definitely something to consider Hope that helps...

I did a little research on theses a while back for work but decided on iem's however from what i read the 662 line are better regarddd than the 661. However be caerful as the 662 come in three different flavours; 662(standard model) 662f (tuned for flat frequency response) and the 662b (tuned...

Quote: With sound leakage being a problem the superlux 661 will be the best on your short list I personaly havent heard them but superlux's get great love here on HeadFi they are however considered very Bright.   Ihave heard the sennheiser hd 201and 202's but i didnt really care for them...

I simply cannot beleive i didn't think of these before, Creative Aurvana Live (or a.k.a CAL on HeadFi) - Probably one the best Bang for Buck Headphone ever created IMO. They don't look too shabby either Give them a look

What about the sony mdr zx700. Or the shure srh440. They are alot more discrete than the beyers Take alook see what you :darthsmile:

Another to think about is the Bowers Wilkins P5 i really like the look and they are very highly acclaimed in the sonic department. Here's a review: http://www.whathifi.com/review/bw-p5

Have you considered the Beyerdynamic dt770 pro 80ohm as they are bass monsters but still have great mids and highs :darthsmile:

I don't. Know the availability of these in NZ but the V-moda crossfade M80 are damn good looking and are a bit bass heavy like the other choices as you stated but for everything else e.g. Mids and highs will be head and shoulders above the other three. They still will be way behind the class...

Massive Appologies for the late response i've been very busy lately Quote:   Well here is some quick pics that i took tonight Here are the three different sized filters i tried all cut out of coffee filters just with varying inner diameter size. Effects on sound as per filter...

I beleive the term is "BUMP"

The comparisons made are subjective to myself and my ears and may not be the same for you. You have been warned   A couple of years or so back i was on the hunt for some can's and ended up buying a pair of Doc's (Goldring DR150), when i got them i was really happy with them, I however...

Quote: Well  the grado sound is kinda hard to describe, think of it this way with dr150 so to speak it feels like you are on the 5th row at at a concert where as grado's are like being on stage. some people like it some people don't it's personal preferance and due to the up-frontness...

Quote: Welcome to Head-fi Sorry about your wallet     For the best natural sound out of some cans you need to be looking at open designs but if you want to listen in a noisy environment there gonna be no good so closed is the way to go.   Open cans or listening to mostly...

Quote: Firstly Welcome to Head-fi Sorry about your wallet   Well i havent heard th shure srh 940 but i hear nothing but praises about shures circumaural headphones here on Head-fi (i have some srh 440 on order) but i have heard the beats studio and imo they are a complete scam you can...
