Quote: I don't know how the Snowball compares to it, and I guess if you were to go for the dt770s it doesn't really matter, since it hardly leaks any sound, if any. But I just like the modmic, since it has a really decent low price, and I like having my mic on the side of my headphones, I...

Quote: The soundmagics are £160 though, £170 on Amazon.  Also, I'd say the Beyers also run great from your soundcard, if you were to get an amp, it'd only be needed for portable use I guess.   Then again, these are all OUR opinions, so one thing I'd recommend before buying anything is...

I just bought myself a pair of DT770 pro 250 ohms, I think they're wonderful.  They're pretty versatile all around, I use them for gaming, music, and movies. I'm also an avid listener of dubstep and I have to say the 770s do a really nice job, they're not really heavy on the bass, but they're...

Any other people that have an opinion?    I'm most likely going for the S6, because of the added accessories, they're a bit higher than what I wanted to spend, but yea... They're sweat resistant and everything, and I suppose they'd sound good as well.

Here's a link to Amazon, I believe these are the ones you're looking for. http://www.amazon.co.uk/JVC-HA-FXD80-Carbon-Nanotube-In-Earphone/dp/B0081YU6YW/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1349051219&sr=1-1   There's currently one from one of Amazons sellers, it's 77 pounds with shipping...

The monoprice are really good from what I've read. (I don't have them myself, they're over $30 with shipping in the EU, and have yet to find them from a reasonable price in the UK) What I also read was that they either fit you or they don't, but I guess that's with all IEMs, and you can always...

Quote: I'll keep an eye out for them... I just spotted the JVC HA-FXC80E for 25 pounds, are they any good for the gym?  

Quote: Hey,   Thanks for bringing those up. I've seen them being recommended everywhere, but the thing is, I'm from the Netherlands, the only place I can buy them is from their site, which with shipping and stuff will bring the price up to ~$40, which I think is rather high, for a pair...

No one around that has some advise for poor old me? :D 

Oh and some of the IEMs I've been looking at...   MEElectronics S6, but not preferable, as the price is $50, which is more than I'd want to spend. http://www.meelec.com/MEE_Sport_Fi_S6_p/ep-sfs6-rdbk-mee.htm   MEElectronics M6, heard a lot of good things about them, any other people...

Hi there,   Yea I know, this thread again, let me apologize in advance   I'M SORRY!   Alright now that that's done with....   I'm looking for a pair of IEMs (I haven't actually ever used them, but I have an intense hatred for earbuds, because  I always have problems with them...

God I've been looking for this as well.  I got myself a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 pros and I need a proper mic with it since I'm almost always in a Skype conversation when I'm behind my computer.   If anyone could give some suggestions that haven't been made yet, feel free :).   I'm...

Quote: Hi,   Thanks for the reply once again. I've just taken the plunge and ordered the DT770s because the 990s are open headphones and I'd be using them in different places, so open headphones aren't really going to work for me.   Thanks for the advice though. I'm going to be...

Also, if I were to go for the DT990s, would I need an amp with it? Or will a DG soundcard suffice? Or a DX card for that matter?

Quote: Thanks for the recommendation, I'll keep it into consideration.   Now another thing, is the sound card that I was planning on getting actually any good? Is it even better than my onboard? This is my motherboard atm: http://www.gigabyte.us/products/product-page.aspx?pid=3425#sp...

Hey Mad Lust Envy,   Thanks a lot for the info on the different types of headphones in the thread, I'm actually basing my purchase on some new starter cans on this guide, thanks a bunch!

Hi Head-fiers,   I've finally decided to make an account here since I've gotten so much information from here already by just lurking threads.    I'm kind of new to proper audio equipment and before this I was the type of guy that would even believe in surround sound headsets, I've...
