Thanks for the advice. I will give the new qjays a try as I almost got them 8 years ago. General budget is $100-800 so pretty much anything short of customs. I guess I will have to do some more reading as the hunt is half the fun.

I am returning back to headphones/IEMs after a 8 year hiatus where I have been living under a rock doing residency/slave labor. I am returning back because a few things have happened: 1) both my ATH-CK10s, and brainwavz b2 have now broken and 2) I received Beats headphones for my birthday and...

Liked and followed as well!

Quote: The HD25SP has no where near the isolation of the HD25-II. The double headband gives you superior isolation but of course increased clamping force. With the Amperiors out, I've seen the HD25-II for around 100. If you get the HD25-SP you will just be wondering what you were missing.

Quote:   The cheapest CK10 I have been able to find was $350 at Audio Cubes. I had a sudden urge to rebuy them for nostalgic reasons. I tried emailing accessory jack in hopes that they were holding out since they had them for about 6 months after they were discontinued, but they said it...

I bought both the X10 and the TF10. The X10 was the worst sounding thing I have ever heard out of the box. It took me a while to realize it was because the right ear was barely producing and sound. There goes my credibility for being and audiophile. Its a good thing Amazon's return policy is top...

Looking for closed headphones that excel in mids and trebles with a good soundstage. I do not care about bass at all. Looking for a similar sound signature to CK10 or HD600. Comfort is important and isolation would be nice. I am looking to spend $100-300.   The m50 had too much bass and...

I had the Re-0, CK10, and B2s all at the same time a month ago before I needed to pay college tuition. The B2s are definitely a better bang for buck than the CK10. You can get great pretty good isolation from the B2s with olives since they can insert pretty deep. Nothing will beat the simple and...

OG Turbine warranty is 3 years. You're still covered. Just give them a call and ask for fedex label.  

The codes still work and I even double checked it for you. I don't even understand why this thread is so long. Just buy it cause you won't get it cheaper.   Code for m50s: 1-ATHM50S-SAVE60 Code for m50 (coiled cable): 1-ATHM50-SAVE60     Quote:  

I also found that I always had goosebumps with the RE-0, but rarely get them with the CK10. With the amazing treble you would think that it would be perfect for a females voice, but it just makes their voice sound too liquidy/smooth so you don't get hit with that WOW effect. Its almost like it...

Thank you for the update. I bought a 1990mAh one earlier today so I hope it lasts at least as long as yours.

ClieOS, How many hours did you end up getting out of the 2050mAh battery? It seems like a very good investment at $15. You said one of them was from a well known company and was that the red DXT one?

OP, I never even thought about changing the battery. I found a 2100mAhm for the same phone battery so does this mean I will get 3x the battery life? Should be a good mod so I don't have to charge and make the E11 useless as much.

I believe SoundProfessionals has a $60 coupon to make it 110 plus shipping. They are authorized resellers.

Here you go. Cheap price and cheap shipping ($3 to US). Bought the black ones from them before and was surprised that it was actually from Sennheiser. I doubt these are though.   Quote:  

From seeing this question asked time and time again, there seems to be a lot more to whether a headphone needs an amp than simply impedance. The HD25-1 and HD25SP don't need an amp to drive them, but this does not mean an amp won't matter. The HD25-1 and especially the HD25-SP still will benefit...

I bought mine from here for $30 cheaper than your link and they are an authorized dealer as well. Be sure that you don't buy the refurbished model that your seller has for $20+ cheaper.

You should not judge all other IEMs based on the comfort of a deep inserting IEM. It has probably the best isolation isolation of any IEM, but comes at the sacrifice of comfort. There are IEMs out there that are a lot more comfortable and don't require jamming the headphone as far down your ear...

There is no circumaural or even supraural that isolates better than the hard clamping HD280. However, I find the HD280 to be one of the most uncomfortabe headphones I have ever tried. I'd say it is a step up from the HD428, but I personally like the V6 more just cause it is significantly more...

I think it a UE10

There are 7 models of the HD25-1:   HD25 II - Umbrella term for the series but usually refers to the legendary HD25-1 II HD25-1 II - The standard 70 ohm version that everyone usually talks about on head-fi HD25-1 Adidas Orginals - Same as above with some pretty blue colors. HD25-C - same...

Try giving this a read. I bought a pair of HD238s and they sound fantastic especially when amped. I never use them though cause I don't really understand when anyone would use a portable open headphone.    

Isolation often involves sacrificing comfort. I can't think of any headphone with more isolation than the HD280 but comfort will be a huge issue and the sound didn't impress me much. For a bit over a 100 euros, you may want to look into the HD25-1 or an HD25SP (cheaper with less isolation and...

You may also want to take a look at the Brainwavz M2 and Monster Turbines. Both will have the bass you are looking for.
