I have been using them as intended since I got them about a month or two ago, but wow what a difference flipping them around has made. Much more comfortable in the ear, and the sound is definitely improved. Makes me wish I had done it earlier.

I bought mine from the same seller about a year ago. I paid $163 including shipping, which I still to this day consider a good deal.

I'll give it a whirl, quick question though. What effect did you use to get that rippled reflection? I'm still new to the photoshop scene, I've got a lot to learn yet.

Alrite, congrats to NJB, hopefully your freebie will help him out with making his own amp.

I've yet to try my foam tips out, thanks for reminding me.

I bought both of my headphones from eBay, and I didn't have any problems (UE super.fi5 Pros, and Senn 595s). Just as long as you are going through a seller with good feedback, and are paying through PayPal, I think it's pretty safe. Just make sure to compeletely read the listing of the item...

I find the Invisible Shield to be overpriced for what it is. It essentially looks to be the same material as the skin I bought from bestskinsever.com, and I only paid $7 for mine. If the IS doesn't work out for you, check out the site I mentioned, it's high quality stuff for a reasonable price.

That is one of the most beautiful looking setups I've ever laid eyes upon.

I think I'm going to buy some Grados soon, and I plan on just starting out with the SR 225s. From what I hear about them, they should give me the edge that my rock music craves.

What exactly does drm mean?

Well that sucks for Apple, they just lost any potential business from me. I was thinking about buying a CD just so I wouldn't have to go to the store, but I guess I'll get dressed and be on my way.

I couldn't find my answer anywhere, so I figured I'd ask here. What is the quality of downloads from the iTunes store, is it CD quality or is it of lower quality? I figure it'd probably be CD quality, but I'm not 100% positive.

I've been wanting to try out Grados, I hear nothing but great things really. What would be a good pair to check out to really get a grasp on the Grado sound?

I listen to all different types of music on my 595s. They do well in everything, rock, metal, rap, they're an all around good set of cans.

I run the gamut as far as music goes, country, classic rock, metal, rap, etc. It's all fair game in my book, thus I need headphones that can perform well across the board. I'm looking into the 880s, how do they perform? Also, do they need to be amped, or can they hold their own unamped. Thank...

UE super.fi5 Pros and 80GB 5.5G iPod Video A cheap eBay Cmoy and an inexpensive mini to mini. I need a new amp and a lineout, I'm leaning towards a Big Blink lineout, still not too sure about a nice portable amp. Any suggestions?

Well I've never heard the 4G, but I must say that the music sounds real good on my 5G video right now. I don't have the most discerning ears, but the bass is there, the highs are clear, and that's all I can really say about it.

From the sounds of it I may want to get into it once it's available for the new iPods. Any estimates on when that may be?

I'm contemplating using it when my 80gig iPod video arrives but I have a few questions first. Are you still able to buy content from the iTunes store? Is it hard to install? Is there any difference in how you can tweak the sound while playing music in rockbox?
