i listen to lots of metal, of the mreo extreme varieties (brutal death metal, grindcore and whatnot, bigfan of technichality as well). and im honestly surprised no one has mentioned the k81 after 6 pages.... now they definately dont have a grado sound sig, but neither do hd280s. Theyre solid...

no matter what source i plug into my AKG are louder on the left earpiece, i know its not my hearing cause when i wear the headphones backwards it becomes louder in the right channel. its becomes more pronounced in bass heavy music.

wait youre saying you gety static when you rotate the jack in the plug? becuase lots of plugs do that....solution? dont twist the plug. my sonys did that in my discman, but not in my soundcard, or my phone....go figure. im not trying to be mean, but this sounds like a case of "doctor it hurts...

as ive said before...im trying to go for something different,hopefully a bit more fun sounding. .....jankenpyon!(saw the team j-pop and i think mini moni is the funnyest thing ever )

yikes, thanks for the heads up! im going on a cruise on friday, and would like some headphones before then as i really have very little to do on cruises(doesnt suit my character), if i ordered the pannies from audiocubes today, would they make it here before friday? i hear lots of good things...

i dont get how my raver friends walk around at night wearing their sony mdr v700s(and those cans make you a target like nothing else haha) at 2am downtown and never get mugged. Im starting to think ill go for the pannies, becuase the AKG are(correct me if im wrong) all plastic, and all...

throw the radioschak one out unless you feel like doing this crap again in 2 weeks. my plug physically broke realllllyyy quickly and was hell to get soldered. i foudn teh only way to get ti to stick, was to heat the wires with my butane torch till red hot, then wipe off. the coating is...

Philodox! its been a long time since ive recieved and offer of equal kindness! although i have to decline cause i already have a little headphone fund, and would probably end up buying some priceyer cans anyway. but you still made my day well i plan to get ksc75 in the future anyway...so i...

i dont think people understand my qeustion quite right.... ...these were the only pair of headphones i owned, so now im down to nill. i need an allrounder that doesnt mind going out into the real world. and its occurred to me, that i really dont wanna have to fiddle wiht a nice pair of IEMs...

grados is a no for on the go though....yo(man, why dont i have a record deal yet?) the open ness means when i sit in the bus eveyrone hears my music, when i sit in class everyone hears my music! and trust me, no one wants to hear MY music . it also means i hear all their crap too. im starting...

Yikes! i guess sometimes i sacrifice accuracy for rhetoric. i find while the bass was there inside, on the go it was a little lacking in the impact in the midd bass region, came in a little close to the ears, and didnt quite clamp enough. Plus at an opportunity to try something different...

but why woudl you ever complain when she bought new underwear?

i like the wit, but i need the info! i cant decide between panasonic RP-HTX7 and the two audio technicha offerings.

yeah it was the second time in a month , as a skinny white kid, i have a problem with getting hassled by the gangster types. also waht about ath-pro500? they look pretty sleek, and pretty sturdy. i liek the k81, but it doesnt look like it completely covers your ear...which is a no.

...they took my beloved modded and well used sony MDR-V6 *sniff*. so im looking for a replacement headphone, for just walking around town, as well as sitting at home and listening(but i have a good fullrange stereo for when i feel like the good stuff ). When im walking around i listen to...

since youre not goign to explain it, ill kind of start(enough to segue into someone coming ind finishing the explanation). But from what i gather, it has to do with the fact taht a conventional stereo amplifier has to take a signal with low current/voltage, and change it to something with higher...

not trying to be "clever" trying to be "portable". I have a desktop integrated from the 70s that has quite a good (and PAINFULLY powerful) headphone circut(powerful in the sense that by the time youre channels are balenced on some v6s, it uncomfortably loud). i doint listen to Rap, and i dont...

Im getting a pair of beyerdynamic dt770-80 soon, and have come to understand that they NEED amplification. This isnt really a problem, but I've only got 100$(canadian!) to play around with. so what should i do for a portable DT770 amp under 100? go vibe? PA2V2? Cmoy even? LDM+ looks too weak but...

My fave song from that album is "Gods of war Arise" on a speaker system playing pretty loud, its just wicked, and the gutiar and bass is so low and everything just shakes the room . and on my sisters panasonic rp-hje50 it also sounds really cool, everything seems to be echoing in your head...

sorta, because alot of the time i listen to my equipment, but most of the time im lsitening to my equipment playing my music. im never really 100% about the music or 100% about the equipment, i always fall somewhere in between.

why nto just put a rheostat there, and you can change your damping factor to whatever headphone you cant relatively quickly. You could ever (correct me if im wrong) slowly adjust it while listening to more accurately find your sweet spot? though im assuming ther must be something wrong in my...

Black metal! pop in the new Amon amarth cd and tell me how it sounds!(i know its not black, but its still kickass). Enjoy your new aquisition BTW your avatar made me decide to wear my Immortal shirt tomorrow

whoa letsnot get into TOO heated an argument here. What i do, is every time im corssing a road (every time my foot toeches road pavement) one of my earcups(the one facing the road or traffic) is already slidd off to the side. it takes time o get used to it, and to be able to automatically...

bose! DUH!(average consumer response....just dont ask them WHY there better )

nother v6 vote, and yeah, i always thought those DTs looked stronger than mr.T but that vote confirms it! the onl thing thats died on my V6s is teh jack...and then i fixed it....and then THAT jack died, and now its starting to get on my nerves cause im terrible at soldering and always burn...
