Do you think I need an amp for the koss DJ100? Would it be better for me to take that money and put it towards a nicer set of cans?

  I will be powering a koss DJ100

anyone?

Hey, I noticed that JDSLabs offers two DIY kits, one for the CmoyBB and another for the Objective2. They are pretty similar in price and I don't absolutely need the portability that the CmoyBB offers. What do you guys think?

  Yeah, this is what I was looking for. I have a soldering iron and I have soldered various things over the years. I was just wondering if I'd be missing out on by going with the DIY over the prebuilt. Do their DIY kits come with everything needed or will there still be some parts I would need...

  Currently just have them plugged directly into a 3.5mm jack on my pc going directly to the mobo, no dedicated sound card or plans for adding one in the near future, although it could be a possibility.   Edit: For more info, my current motherboard is this one Is there any point in buying...

This looks pretty amazing! I've always loved things in a smaller form factor, and since I'm looking for a portable amp for my DJ100s, this definitely might be a viable option.

Hello, I'm looking to get an amp (portable or desktop, they will mostly be used inside) for my Koss Dj100s. Do you think they are worth am ping? I'd preferably like to stay fairly cheap, under $50 CAD if possible, but I can stretch it out if it would be a worthwhile upgrade. The ones I'm...

I ended up buying the TBSE1s off atl5. Looking forward to getting them in the mail soon :P

Quote: Just wondering, in terms of modding, are there any specific equipment I'll need in general? Soldering iron, drills, ect.? Also, I might just get the TBSE1s for now and grab a pair of T50rps when I have some cash laying around and I feel like messing around with them, but some...

Quote: No, these would essentially be the first actual pair of "good" headphones I buy. It's kind of a choice between these or TBSE1s. Kind of just want to see if these would be a good choice for me. If any pair of headphones would work, I've got some crappy JVCs that I can probably try...

@Kalbee and penguins I see, would you recommend the T50RPs to someone completely new to modding, and if so, are there any mods that you would recommend to start with. If not, what would you recommend to get into the world of modding?

Hey guys. Just wondering about modding the Foxtex T50RPs. I'm looking to buy my first set of real headphones and heard that the T50RPs?, after modding, sound really good, like better than most headphones in that price range. The question is, how hard is it to mod stock T50RPs? Is it something...

Quote: Thanks!

Shure 840 vs TBSE1 vs DJ100's in terms of comfort, portability, and SQ. Any thoughts?

Quote: Shipping to Canada probably costs more, plus I save $15 by buying from this guy. Any pros to ordering from Amazon?

Someone offered to sell me a pair of brand new Shure 840's for $130, this is a flat price, no S&H considering they are nearby and can deliver them to me personally. Good deal?

Quote: So including S&H The TBSE1's are $40 more than the DJ100's. Just wondering. how do the Shure 840's compare to the DJ100, if you've ever heard them.

Amazon has the DJ100's priced at $46.44 with free shipping to the US. http://www.amazon.com/Koss-ProDJ100-Headphones/dp/B003X1BEKI/ref=lh_di_t_dup

Quote: Hmm well the aviators are $140 on B&H, which is $60 more than the TBSE1's.  Also, Amazon has the DJ100's at $47.39. Edit: so, I was looking around on craigslist and someone was selling Shure 840's for $130. Just wondering if this was a good price for them, and if they are a...

Quote: You mentioned that there  would be better buys for around $100. Care to name some that have some of the features that the TBs have (foldable, comes with a case, detachable cables ect.)?
