Hey guys, I have never attended a meet, but I'm in Nashville so I figure why not   I can bring a pair of Noble 5 IEMS and a Fiio E12 Everything else I got seems to already be listed

99.8 lbs 103.4 lbs 122.1 lbs

Hopefully I get something!

Hey Saren,    Would you describe the TH900's as slightly warm? and I'm guessing very natural in comparison to the ED8's?   And silverbox, good to know members of head fi still have a sense of humor

Well then what is the best headphone that exists?   And I actually think the best overall headphone, might not be the best hip-hop headphone...   The best overall would have to have the right bass and the right time, warmth when it needs it, different characteristics for different genres...

Hey everyone,    I just wanted the community's take on what the best (closed) headphones would be for rap and hip-hop   For the longest time I thought it would be the Ultrasone Edition 8's, which I own, but the more time I spend with them the more I question it...   The Edition 8's do...

I agree with you there, except for the mowing grass part    I don't plan on babying these things to the point where I don't use them, but maybe just a bit

Hey, just to update I went ahead and actually got some Edition 8's (little less than 700 in mint!) for their portability... I've had them for a few days and originally they sounded a little off, highs were ever so slightly harsh.... It wasn't "smooth" at all...   After breaking them in for...

I don't think I have those "golden ears" just yet, but I've slowly been working my way up I think they should hold me for at least a year before I start looking around for anything else...   On a sidenote any opinions about the Ultrasone Edition 8's? (Just trying to consider all options...

I think I'll get the W1000X, but I'll wait for the price to come down from its current $480... Or I'll just lose patience and get them next week 

hmmm, I need to think about this   Thanks for the help!

hmmm how big are the w1000x's?   Is there any easy way to transport them safely?

So I went and tried the Momentums, but they don't seem as detailed as I hoped... It was also loud, so that might have changed things...

Kind of random, but I've just come across a good deal for some Ultrasone Pro 900's for about $300... I know they're amazing for hip-hop, but will they be good/decent for classical? I might just go for them for the price...

I'll go try it out (Theres a local store here that has them) but I fear that the upgrade from my current headphones wouldn't be significant enough for me to justify the price...   I'll get back with my reaction tonight

do you know how the mids/sub bass are on there?

I tried the D600 and unfortunately its a bit too big for me... At its smallest point the earcups are still lower on my ears rather than centered.   I have a HRT Music Streamer Dac for my computer as well, and while the K550's are an option I've listened to them and don't know if they're a...

To the PM's!

I like the idea of the D5000's, but they're especially hard to find since they were discontinued... Even looking at used ones on Amazon they start at $650 which is a bit much...

Hey guys, so I'm looking for my next upgrade and am a bit confused about where to go from here.   I've more or less trying to upgrade from a Pioneer HDJ-2000 (V-shaped)   I listen to hip-hop, classical, pop, just a large range of things, but those 3 genres make up the bulk of my library...

The funny thing is, As you probably posted that, I just updated my location...

I like the ESW-9's. but they seem a little delicate to me, and the cables are so thin it worries me that I might break them... If I'm honest, I always stayed away from Sony for some reason, but I'll give them a try...   Do any of you know where I could find a DT 1350 to try?

All good So I guess I'll try out the 1350's then and see how it goes

Thanks for the reply... Price seems good, went and tried the momentums but they didn't have enough detail, or a nice enough midrange to me..   I've read some good things about the Shure SRH 940's... Any idea about them?

bump... Nothin guys?
