not sure, interest died down I guess. I'm not in Pitt anymore so I personally can't do any meetups there in the future.

I'll be there   audio gf nfb5 AKG 701 ATH M50 klipsch image s4 (x2)   Anyone have a HD800 and DNA stratus they can bring? I'm really interested in trying out this pairing.

Will try my best to head over from Philly. Audio GD NFB5 Akg 701/Ath m50 se/Klipsch image s4(x2) This will be my first meet so I'm not sure how things work. If I bring desktop setup, will I be able to move around the room and try different people's equiptment or will I have to stay with my own...

bump   I'd really like to get an answer for Q2/3/5

Hey Head-fi'ers   So I've reached a point where I am pretty satisfied with my mid-fi setup (Audio GD NFB-5 & AKG701) so I won't be upgrading anytime soon. However I know I will be upgrading in the future and was wondering what you guys had to say about the setup.   What I have planned...

Experiences with the HD598 was pretty good. It sounded pretty neutral and the mids were excellent. Some people have said that they don't look as good in person but I still like them a lot. If I wasn't itching to try out ortho's or trying to upgrade my source, I'd still have mine but 3 headphones...

Wow this is completely epic, I wish I could test some of these out

I think the count is at 5 according to the # of people that posted in the thread

If you listen to moderate to low levels, it's not an issue unless a person is literally within 5 feet of you but i guess moderate to low is relative. Try amazon or anyplace with a good return service and just return them if they leak too much, all open headphones are going to leak about that...

If you are coming from the beats you might be disappointing by the m50's bass, especially the new whitebox'ed versions. Its definitely more controlled and better quality but lacks the large quantity of bass that a lot of new entry level people are expecting (true for most high end headphones...

So the thing with GMO's is, about 99% of the genes inserted into the plants is for a pesticide or herbicide resistance. Meaning if you spray these chemicals on normal plants they die while the GMO plants live, allowing production to go up without worrying about insects, fungus, weeds that kill...

lol any thread longer than 5 pages will get off topic or get hijacked

just got the limited edition yesterday! The regular m50's were my first legit can 3 years ago. After I sold them I've missed them terribly

nah sorry, never dealt with the veteran's program   tbh I hate this school, I wish I picked a less nerdy school, with more sports and with less asains. I was the only asain in my grade in high school and here its like... they are the majority (probably a grand total of 7 in the entire high...

It would be cool if we could get permission to hold it at my school.   I see grados/senns/m50's a decent amount   I also personally know 2 big audiohead students that might come

Quote:   lol that's exactly why (since "better" is also ambiguous in Korean and I was wondering the same thing you said) I said "really but the m50 has more" to which he replied "no it doesn't"   heh   he might have been trolling me though he's a goof and probably making fun of me...

btw back on topic, my dad quickly (less than a minute each) listen to my m50's vs my AKG701's and he said that the 701's had better bass lol ("better" is a translation cause he said in korean)   (I forget If I posted this, It happened a while back)

Quote: Yeah (sold my m50 to buy a t50rp, I really wanted to try orthos and I thought they would be a good upgrade)   m50's are in your face, fun, with a little oomph on the bass, versatile   My music is split into hi-fi and just for fun music and since I sold everything but my...

for me gym my IEM's don't really need to have great sound quality, as long as they don't break or fall out of my ear I'm happy   there is a lot of outside noise, the radio is blasting, and I sweat a lot so even when IEM's normally give me a good fit/isolation, within 15 minutes in the gym...

I don't think I can qualify as a real audiophile but I'm about mid-fi gear wise and really enjoy analytical listening.   In early high school, I was using $30 dollar IEM's because I couldn't stand crappy ear buds. Then I got a pair of Bose in ears as a present and I actually started...
