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 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 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...

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?

I've been ripping at 192 kbps, but I'm curious about what lossless has to offer. Is it worth re-doing all my CDs (about 20 in the library so far) and putting them into lossless? Also, is the size of the file like twice as much as my 192kbps rips? If it's a significant difference, I may think...

I'd like a smaller amp, nothing too crazy in size. I will be using it in conjuction with my Creative Zen Vision:M, Senn 595s, and UE super.fi 5 Pros. I'd like to not go over the $300 mark also, if possible. Thanks guys.

They should probably mate well with my Creative Zen Vision:M. Just a few questions, are they fairly comfortable for long periods? Also, is there a better set of IEMs I could get for $160 brand new?

Could anyone give me any information about interconnects? I am totally clueless as to what they are for. Thanks for the help.

Would this card be a good buy? M-Audio 9900-40765-00 Sound Card Anyone have one or heard good things about it? I will be using it only to listen to music on my computer.

I was just wondering if there were any better programs to use while listening to tunes on my computer other than Winamp or Windows Media. I currently use Winamp, can anyone recommend something else?

These are my first real headphones and even with my crappy soundcard, these are amazing. I've never heard the And Justice For All cd sound so good.

I'm looking to get a new soundcard and this one caught my eye. I found it for $175 w/ a $100 rebate, and I was wondering if this is a pretty high quality soundcard or just so-so. Anyone have any impressions of it? Is there any better card I can get for that price?

I'm looking for my first pair of good headphones and the HD 595s have peaked my interest. I'm going to be listening to all types of music, from rap to metal, and even some classical thrown in for good measure. I'd also like to use the phones to listen to while gaming. Can I expect a good balance...
