Yewps! Mis-typed, meant the 1/4” out! Corrected, thanks! That makes sense, as a 6DBu difference is non-trivial. I can’t say as I noticed a sound difference though, your ears are better than mine!

For the future searchers out there - the RME Babyface pro headphone out is very powerful. I have used the following at the following volumes which are comfortable to me (which are probably a bit louder than average, but not deafening) Hifiman HE4XX @ around 25% Beyer DT880/250 @ a bit above 25%...

I ended up with the 840s. I tried the 940s, and they were more comfortable, but the construction seemed more delicate (perhaps not, but that was my impression). The sound of them, while also very good (they were my #2 pick) didn't seem quite as 'neutral' to me - they were more fun to listen to...

Ended up with the Shures, definitely good sounding. Comfort seems good enough, but they definitely are a snug fit (even at the maximum size). Tried a lot of different cans, the AKG 550s felt amazingly well made, but as stated here, very fussy about ear position for good sound (and with glasses...

I'll take it into consideration, especially given the fact that my head is stupid big. There are a few dealers in town where I can try a lot of these on, so will do

Ok, lots of great opinions here. I'll have to try to track these down locally to give them the comfort test. Thanks guys!

Thanks!   Lots of good notes here re:glasses, and driving the T50RP. Also, I was concerned about the m50x size - I've owned some ATs in the past, but my huge head is at the max. I'm going go to try some of these on!

No one else? I'm leaning towards the Shures

Interesting - when I used to frequent Head-fi years ago, that was considered a very bassy headphone, and not really associated with clarity. Am I wrong here?

So, my trusty Beyer DT250-80's that I've used for years are finally starting to go :( and I'm looking for replacements to use in my very non-pro home studio. I do sound design for videogames & when I have time, make IDMish music. I do my critical work on monitors, but being a home studio, lots...

Bought what I'm guessing is the non-updated version with the mic for the old iphone. Bought the GF the sennheiser canalphones and considered getting them as well. Glad I splurged on the Phonak's instead, as I was genuinely surprised at how good they sound and how bloody comfortable they are...

I'll try to make it - might be a tight weekend, and if there's good snow I'm going riding. Also, I vote for the Plateau!

Hey guys, Got a little project I want to try and hack together by the weekend. Need a KSC75-like clip-on and they need to be purchasable this week in Canada. I've never seen a pair of KSC75's for sale in radioshack/circuitcity, so any other suggestions of where to get some cheap Clip-ons in...

I was amazed that the clix 2 sounded better than my sony A3000 - I bought the sony knowing that I would have to struggle through mediocre software and a weak-sauced slow-as-molasses interface in favor of really great sound. It's a shame I find the clix 2 too small, because it's an otherwise...

Great review - did you get to spend any time testing low impedance/highly efficient phones on the ZERO?

I've spotted a few isolated reports of hardrive noise/electro interference when the platter spins up. Any of you guys experienced this? Even in the slightest? I'm curious because this player is at the top of my list for HDD based players, and I'd hate for some like that to effect my experience...

Technics RP-DJ1200 - bombproof, best swivel in the business, good sound/isolation, reasonably priced. Only gripe is that they're supra-aural, but comfort is still good. Plus they're efficient enough to double-duty as a portable. cheap @ audiocubes

Used to spin, but found more love in production, in my short stint with tables, and interacting with other DJ's, I have tried a few of these cans.. - technics RPDJ 1200 (great, if i needed a supraaural, bomb-proof portable, this'd be it - also the most capable "DJ" can of the bunch, but not...

Hey all, Looking to pick up a set of decent but highly affordable set of speakers for an existing 5.1 amp. I've raked through the forums here and think I might have settled on some. I have a usable (if albeit kinda weak-sauced) sub already, so I primarily just need to replace the other...

As the title suggests, looking for something to replace the sharp HP-MD33S in-earphones. I like the sound of the sharps for a highly portable solution, plus, they're fairly sturdy for this type of earphone. The Sharp's are the around the back of the neck/one side longer than the other variety...

My father's beloved 5-Disc changer finally died (Teac I believe). The prized feature was the ability to shuffle tracks from all 5 CDs, with little to no effort. He's looking to replace his old player but hasn't found quite what he's looking for. How does the Sony SCDCE595 weigh in and does it...

After a bit more research, I suspect they may have been black D1000's, oh well.

Just a heads up We were slipping by Dumoulin to pick up a busted SLR lens, and I spotted these on the way out. I haven't been paying attention to the scene lately so I didn't exactly recognize them at the time. Price check was $198, Canadian of course. There's a slim chance they might have...

Kyuss - I was used to 90's cheese metal or whatever $#!TE I was listening to at the time so when I heard Kyuss, I thought it was slow and boring, wow I was an idiot. Kyuss certainly grew on me and now has a comfortable spot near the top of my all-time favorite list.
