I just want to say that I have immensely studied this thread with a couple headphones I was interested in, awesome work. Would you consider checking out a set of the JVC HA-FX1X? There is already a large discussion thread on them here...

Ordered a set of these a few days ago and got them today. I was looking for a set of cheaper headphones as throw around buds and also saw this thread here. Only have about 2 hours listening time but I'm pretty dang impressed so far. They are definitely boomy, hopefully they will become more...

So are the Dunu Tridents the best bet?

For those that don't like SPC what kind of wire do you recommend? I pulled the trigger on SPC wire from Navships on eBay after many raved about them on here, wondering if that was a bad decision.

For those who have upgraded their Sennheiser cables, can you comment on how SPC wire alters the sound? From what I've read it gives the phones a warmer sound. Would you guys attest to that?

I think I've got this figured out now. What do you guys recommend using at the connecting Y point of the cable? Heat shrink or is there an actual piece recommended?

My only concern with the nylon is that it can't expand so I have to make sure I get the right size. Would 1/8" work?

I guess 1/8" would be ok since it expands to more than I need diameter wise. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1-8-EXPANDABLE-SLEEVING-blk-purple-spiral-TECHFLEX-25ft-/230616063252?pt=Car_Audio_Video&vxp=mtr&hash=item35b1c9dd14 I'd rather have sleeving that can expand instead of the nylon multifilament.

Yeah I'm using SPC wire with teflon insulation. And my apologies, I'm actually using 24awg wire. I'm a newb at this stuff so please forgive me. Can someone explain the differences between the types of sleeving out there and what would be best for a portable cable? Also any suggestions on...

I am having some custom cables made for my HD25's soon, what do you guys recommend for sleeving? Using 22awg wire for everything, want a black look if at all possible. I think I like the look of nylon mutlifilament sleeving. Do you guys put an insulating layer over the wires followed by the...

Scratch that expensive ass wire in the first post. I searched around and found a much liked eBay seller that many people recommended on here for SPC wire. So will the Cardas plugs in the link above fit the HD-25-1? They look much smaller in person!

I use a Monoprice RCA to 3.5mm when I connect my iPhone and I get great sound quality.

I am planning on recabling my HD-1 II phones and want to make a shorter cable for portable use. Here's what I've gathered so far: Cardas connectors http://www.partsconnexion.com/connectors_head_cardas.html Neutrik 3.5mm plug http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=092-333...

I think I'm going to take the plunge and get an HD25-1 II. Anyone have one in good condition with a small amount of hours on it?   Looking to spend <$150.

What would my options be if I raised my budget to $150?

Just took a look at the buying guide in the articles section but didn't have very many options for on-ear in the $100 area.

$100 price point give or take $25 guys. ;)

The HD-25 seems like a solid set, slightly out of my price range though.

Anyone have suggestions?

This place is a curse. I bought a set of Crossfade LP's for $150 and while I like them I think they aren't what I'm looking for. It seems an on-ear headphone is the way to go for what I plan on using them for. Going to sell these and dedicate $100 for earphones and $50 for IEM's. Here is the...

I need some IEM's for running, biking and general active use. I am looking for something with a nice low and high end, probably more concentrated on clear highs but some decent bass kick would be good. I prefer neutral mids. Durability is also very important, I'd prefer something that has nice...

I just ordered a Fiio L3 cable that I plan on using for an assortment of Apple products but I'm curious about something. I have 2 4th generation iPod Classics with messed up audi jacks that will only output sound to one ear, so will this cable do the same or output through both channels since...

I think I'm going to pick up one of those CMOY DIY altoid amps and see what that does for me.
