Quote: Even 192kbps will sound very good, if you listen side by side you can probably tell 192kbps from lossless/320kbit/s but it's not like 192kbps sounds like what Youtube did 5 years ago. People really overhype what compression does and doesn't do. I'd take my D2000 with only 192kbps...

My J3 purchase turned out weird. I bought it for the superior Eq but ended up using no Eq but still not regretting the purchase due to the incredible battery life. Bit annoying how it doesn't recognize the disc number ID tag though, box sets all have to be retagged but oh well, that much I can...

Quote: I never used them on a plane but I don't think they would work well. I can hear my computer with them on (using velour though, not sure how much better the horrible comfort pads are), barely but it's audible if I don't listen to any music. My computer isn't mega loud and it...

Quote: Really? I find them extremely different. Listening to classical or jazz on my TF10 then going to the D2000 with the same track and the D2000 sounds hilariously off. Then again the same thing happens when I do it reversed. I found them very different. Maybe it is the closest...

Quote: I realized yesterday that I prefer the TF10 to my D2000 with some classical. Coming from someone who was.. a bit disappointed with the TF10 at first. If anything I've confirmed mind burn in, I really had to get used to these. Listened to a recording of Four Seasons yesterday...

Quote: I bought the D2Ks some months back, ******* loved them as they were the closest thin to Hifi I experienced in recent years, sounded fantastic every day even months after purchase. Then I get the chance to listen to the LCD2 in a music store one day, I'm not blown away at all...

I only have one pair of home headphones, if that counts.

      Quote: Well, holy crap. Will make good use of this camel site in the future.  

I have no words

Quote: That's funny because WAV and FLAC produce the exact same sound.

Calling it now, no one will upload ABX logs of them successfully telling the difference. Many will claim it's there.

      Quote: It's a DIY design by nwavguy, I Know Epiphany Acoustics sells it in Europe but can't recall the US one that sells 'em. Try sticking "nwavguy" in your search terms and you should be able to find it.   Quote: Not heard D5000 but these might be useful...

Well, I just ordered these. Refurb for €130 (including shipping) so I saved about €40. I guess I'll see if being cheap will bite me in the ass within a week. Anyhow, I listened to them briefly (barely a song worth) and preferred them over my TF10s at least then. Will be interesting to compare...

      Quote:     As far as I know, yeah.

I find it to be more a gimmick than anything, really cool once and after that I just didn't care that much.

Quote: Same experience except I love my D2000s, there is only one album where the treble just doesn't do it. I can't listen to Painkiller at all, the song in particular.. damn man, those SSS sounds hurt.

Quote: Am I correct in saying that increasing/decreasing resistance does not alter the sound beyond volume?

      Quote: He could always get an equalizer of choice and crank up the bass if that's what he's going for, or buy different headphones. And no the D2K don't need an amp, they work fine out of my Cowon J3 without me even having to max volume.  

17-18kHz depending on test, not sure if the websites have it wrong or something. Not sure if it's due to genetics or if my many concerts or my loud music is the reason, probably a mix of both.

I don't know but you might want to google "nuforce drama nwavguy", click the top link and have a read before purchasing.

      Quote: Can you back that up? Not trying to be confrontational, genuinely interested.  

I haven't heard much high end but I have heard the LCD 2. Compared to the Magnepan 12 it.. damn man, it wasn't even a comparison. If space and money wasn't an issue I'd go with speakers, based on those two anyway.

  Quote: Same experience, if I listen to music (and not very loud either) I can barely hear cars whizzing by. Don't have any other non $10 IEM's to compare to though.

Quote: Unnecessarily insulting and when you realize you didn't know what you were talking about you backtrack and say "Well, my post count is higher!". That's rock bottom of debating if I have ever seen it.

Quote:   "Guys my arm hurts, do I have any pain in my arm?" "Of course you do, that's the very definition of pain!" .. "No, you stupid 14 year olds. Go ask a doctor if you really have a pain in the arm, you're not qualified to make that assessment!".   Tinnitus simply refers to...
