Quote: WOOHOO!!!  Congratulatins!  I know you've been waiting for awhile.  As we all have also, to hear your interpretations of the TH900s.  Can't wait for your post.

Wow!  The last post here was 2 and a half years ago?  Maybe I'm not searching the right way or should look for a more recent appreciation thread.   I just received my first pair of Grados!  The 325 IS.  I think they sound fabulous and am very impressed.  My current stable of headphones...

Quote:   Ah, bummer.       Quote:   I'm trying to take a look at the Apple site, but can't get on either.  Guess I'll try in a couple hours.      

Great to hear that.  I wonder if our Apple Store here has them for auditioning.  I gotta check it out one of these days.  Probably won't be for a couple of weeks as I'm going to be in Cali for some R and R from Saturday to Saturday.

Quote: I'd love to hear impressions too.  Are the L1s available in the US already?  I don't know anyone selling them, or anyone who has them.  They look so cool, I hope they sound good.

Yes.  That's a great price relative to the current going rate.  They now make the D7000s seem like a great price too.  I can't wait to see some reviews and hear your thoughts on the HPs.  Still carefully considering these though.

Quote: Those look absolutely beautiful.  I wasn't expecting such a high price, but I guess some of that has to be for the time in finishing them aside from the sound.  Definitely want to know how they compare to the D7000 now.

Quote: Yes, I'm running my Q701s off of an E7/E9 combo and it sounds great.  I think the E9 is a fairly neutral amp for the most part.  I remember a fairly noticeable sound difference in the lower tonal spectrum when switching from low gain to high gain with my Sennheiser HD650s, but...

Quote: Yes.  It's a great, little place for people who want to get rid of music/games/videos that they don't use any more and great for music/movie bargain hunters like me.  I've been picking up a bunch of Diana Krall CDs for about $5.00 a piece and a whole bunch of other stuff as my...

Quote: I can't wait for the TH900s to be released.  I was hoping to pick up a set of Denon D5000s or D7000s in the future, but I will wait to see how the Fostex sounds and looks first.  I showed the picture of the girl wearing the TH900 in my avatar to my wife and told her these are the...

Quote: Although I am of Japanese ancestry, I don't listen to a whole bunch of Japanese pop or rock, but I do love Japanese Anime films.  I recently bought the the Appleseed double disc soundtrack from a local used book/cd/dvd/bd store here for only $3.00.  I'm loving it.  I've only had a...

I can't wait to see/hear these HPs.  Just from the pictures they look so beautiful.  I was considering getting the Denon D5000s or D7000s, down the line, but may wait for these instead.    I showed the picture that's in my avatar to my wife, and she asked if I would still be interested in...

I haven't heard the LP2s, but I do have the LPs (well my wife has them now).  The Beats Pro, beats the LP in every way.  I love base/sub bass, which the Beats Pro do very well while still maintaining great separation between the mids and highs, but the LP's bass in my opinion is really muddy and...

Like you, I started my journey with the Beats Pros.  I still do love them tremendously and they are the cans I use more than any other.  I have to tell you that my taste in music is more or less about 70% hip hop and rap.  I love deep, sub base.  I hardly listen to any metal, so I can't really...

Thanks for your impressions!  Your tastes seem to mirror mine for the most part, so I like to read your thoughts on the different headphones.  It helps me understanding of their differences in sound.

Thank you Penchum for writing up this review for our community and all those who contributed to this thread. Although a bit old (almost 3 years old), I came across this thread in seeking an inexpensive tube amp. I believe the Little Dot MK III will be my first tube amp, unless anyone can direct...

Quote: I totally agree with this reasoning.  As a consumer, I probably wouldn't have wanted to buy the older HD650 based on speculation that the HD650 with the newer material sounded a little brighter.. My HD 650 has the newer material, and even though I never heard the difference between...

I have no problems using my E9 with either my Q701 or HD650.  I think it's a great amp for the amount I paid paired with the E7.  Of course, I'm a NOOB and have no experiences with other amps at this time.  I'm not sue if this is the impression everyone else gets, but I think the E9 is...

Quote:   Quote:   Quote: It's funny how Amazon's prices fluctuate.  I guess it's based on their supply.  When I initially tried to order my white Q701s from Amazon a month and a half ago, they were ate $235.  I went through the whole order process only to...

I can't wait to hear your impressions of the D2000.  Thanks for posting your thoughts on all of these great headphones.  I also love my HD650 and Q701 and was thinking about getting the Grado 325is down the line.

@ Catscratch... Whoa, while I certainly entertain the idea of one day being able to discern music well enough to justify jumping into the high end stuff, I know I'm not at that point yet.  I will however enjoy the ride getting there and not rush things.  The one thing I get from everyone so far...

Thanks CantScareMe!  I'm looking to grow and learn more through the community.  It's been fun so far.

I made my first post earlier today, but figured I'd share my story with the rest of you.  I've been lurking here for almost two months now, and appreciate the different stories, recommendations and reviews.  I hope to learn a lot more from all of you in the future.   Here's my simple story...

I've been lurking here for a couple of months now and decided to finally chime in on something that I don't really need to have a high level of audio expertise in.  My first post!  Yay!  I found the article to suit its audience quite well.  I believe this article is written for those, like the...
