So does anyone know where I can buy the Ultrasone HFI-580 in Canada? Apart from ebay.

Yep it's the same exact one.

I already said it twice in the thread. I'm from Canada.    Anyway, I found the Clip+ for a very reasonable price in a local store so I'll be picking it up quite soon since it's -10$ also. In another store there's a 4GB Kingston SD for 10$ which I'll also get. After that I'll wait for my...

That sandisk seems like a solid little player. Cheap too. Plays flacs right? That's gewd since most of my music is flac. What about wav?    If I had that then I would probably consider some nice headphones. But yea, first I gotta see how the cash situation is gonna turn out.   Thx for...

yea my stuff is pretty old. the player is some sort of samsung that i got in like... 2007 maybe... The phone is a Samsung Galaxy S. It's quite ironic that I own so much samsung considering they are pretty bad haha. I didn't even realize this until now.    But yea I guess I need better player...

Welp, I just tested out my mp3 player and my phone with some bass tracks using the yamaha headphones and the adh700....... O________O   I dunno if I wanna buy headphones of any sort anymore. Those devices are distorting everything like crazy.  Their EQs are so limited that it seems...

Yep, I won't be using amps, and I intend to keep these headphones for mp3/phone use only since i have a pair for home and I don't want to have to constantly switch around for no reason. So basically i need headphones that will sound as good as they can with the limitations of the said devices. ...

Yea quite understandable, but the truth is that NO pair of headphones is going to even come close to reproducing the sound that you hear on live events.    The idea is that I want to get a decent quality headphone that I know is going to be reliable. Good all around, but with an emphasis on...

M Audio won't work lol. Way too expensive... Almost 150 without even including shipping. I should probably lower my budget to like... 120$ CAD.     I've been doing research the whole day and I think that the CALs are probably going to be most suitable. There's only 4 left on ebay that are...

bump

So far I think I like the CALs most. The problem is that they don't really sell them anywhere in Canada. There's only 2 ads on ebay for them so that's my only choice. Any other ideas?    I was looking at the Alessandro MS1s the other day, but I'm not sure how well they fit my needs.

Thanks for the replies guys I will check those suggestions out and come back with input. In the meantime I found this quote that I think represents sort of what I'm looking for:   Quote:   Oh and by the way, I'm from Canada so if you feel kind enough to provide some links I would...

Hi, I'm looking to get a new pair of headphones for my mp3/phone. Now, obviously I like high quality sound so after owning a few skullcandy earbuds that all broke I decided it was time get something serious.    At home I'm currently using AD700, before that I had yamaha rh-5ma. Plus a pretty...

thx dude, and thx to everyone for the help

I've finally decided to get the Audio Technica ATH-AD700 headphones. It looks like they are going to suit me best.   Can anyone recommend me an online retailer located in Canada that has those in stock? Thx.   I think I'll just order...

I'm not sure the SRH480 can be called gaming headphones either, but I think they should do fine. I could be totally wrong thought, otherwise I wouldn't be here. It'd be nice to get some info about the SRH480 and directional sound since I haven't really seen people talk about this aspect that...

  Quote: Yes well, I was initially going to buy the SR325si, but the thing is that in Canada everything seems to be more expensive and I can't really buy from the USA cuz there are fees n other bs that I need to pay, so it gets to around the same price if not more. The SR225i are...

Possibly, though the Q40 seems to be pretty fragile so I decided to go for something else. Since I'm upgrading a Yamaha RH-5Ma, I probably won't notice a difference between one or the other (Q40 or SRH840) since they'll both sound much better than the Yamaha despite their little differences.  ...

lol, I'm sure they can't be less bassy than my Yamaha headphones. Though if I feel the need, I could always get an amp later on.   Thx for the input though.

I've been reading more and more about the Shure SRH840 and I think it might actually be better an the Q40. There was even a comparison of the two (and two other models) on this forum. Also, the Shure doesn't seem to be as fragile as the Q40 which is better for me since I do tend to abuse my...

    Hello, I'm looking to upgrade my Yamaha RH-5Ma headphones that I've had for nearly 4 years and I'm barely holding together with duct tape and super glue. Very nice pair and they've proven to be extremely sturdy too since they've gone through huge amounts of abuse over the years. ...
