Nobody helped me. I went with HD598CS, but nobody probably cares to hear my input on this so I wish this topic would get deleted

My wallet has been getting too PHAT lately, need to throw my money away on things I dont need. lol. I have my HD650 which is my favorite amped headphone for hi-res audio, I actually listen to everything with it. But its just too power hungry for some applications I might mention I do like the...

oh man I wish that listening to headphones and hearing loud stuff actually improved your hearing instead of hurting it, kind of like working out builds muscle and helps you lose fat which benefits you. Kind of sucks we humans have these little things in our ears that die all the time.......is it...

its really not that difficult. the HD-555 is a good headphone, especially for that price. I bought my hd-555 for 140 last Christmas and I havnt regreted it. I've never listened to the 595, but I read they are similar and if you dont have the money to buy them and you have to sell your clubs just...

those are some nice cans.....

nah, they shouldnt hear it, especially at normal volumes. If you cranked it up really loud its possible. I believe i've heard my moms 515 from my room, i can't remember if her door was closed, and she does listen to it really loud (she has bad hearing lol)

reminds me when I had an inner ear infection. I had ringing in my ears that could probably be compared to tinntinus, I couldnt sleep and I was depressed about the whole thing, thank God for drugs that got rid of it lol. I do hope everybody has some kind of sound in their ears, tinntinus or not...

I personally hate this codec, nothing good comes out of it. But there is no doubt it sounds better at those low bitrates than anything else I've tried. But I know that 128kbps ripped properly with the latest Lame encoder will sound much better than those 64kbps atrac+ or bitrates close to that...

I've done some blind testing with the Lame encoder, this is what I found 128kbps - sounds much better using joint-stereo than regular stereo. Test it out yourself. This was with the latest stable version of Lame - good for the "on the run" type sound someone was talking about earlier. I use...

I wish listening to loud music actually IMPROVED your hearing, instead of the other way around.

circuit city should have them. Maybe compusa. I've never seen sennheiser products at best buy though, and IDK about the other stores.

ksc-75s are excellent, I own a pair and use them often even over my sennheisers sometimes. You can pick up a pair without the volume control for 20 bucks or less at circuit city, if you have one by you and are in the USA. My circuit city had them for 14.99, everyday price not on sale.

hmm, I have a week to take it back still, I think I will. I've done some testing, trial and error stuff, with weird results. The mp3s I encode are always LAME with 320kbps stereo lame files, the buzz starts at 40 seconds into the song with preset -V5 lame mp3, it starts around 50 seconds...

music on a cd is just data, its a bunch of 0s and 1s, it wont sound warmer on one disc over the other, IDK where that came from. check the media forums at videohelp.com, taiyo yuden is the one of if not the best dvd media you can buy, i'd bet their cd media is just as good.

yes I have, I listened to my panasonic headphones that came with a panny pcdp, sounded horrible, took them off after a minute. I havnt tried those sony headphone that came with sony pcdp in the 90s, you know those black ones. I still have a brand new pair, i'm going to try them on later now that...

I'm hoping someone can help me figure out if this is a defect in just my unit, or all of them. I started noticing these buzz sounds when listening to mp3s, at first I thought "hmm I must have botched the encoding somehow" but thats not the case as every mp3 file does it at exactly 38-40 seconds...

alt+G plus you MIGHT have to configure it in the freedb menu options, like put in a fake email, and search for the nearest freedb catalog, or something

I own the D-151, however I'm not a vintage discman expert, collector, or anybody who can tell you if its a good player or not. I did a search on this site before on it, you should do a search. If I remember correctly, its nothing to brag about. I know it has at least a 15mW headphone output...

hydrogen audio says the itunes mp3 converter isnt that great, if I remember correctly. If your going to rip to mp3, just go with LAME 3.97b2 I think it was just to be safe. I can't tell you off hand which programs will convert your lossless format to LAME mp3 cause IDK what lossless format your...

heres my suggestion, keep in mind I'm not the audiophille type of person who absolutely needs lossless and 320kbps mp3s all the time. are your 128kbps files in stereo? If it is, in my experience 128 in stereo sounds pretty bad. HOWEVER, a 128kbps file in joint-stereo sounds much different...

I dont want to start yet another topic on the ksc-75, but at my circuit city they had them for 14.99 (the ones without the volume control) and that was the everyday price (not on sale) I was like dang! until I remembered I paid $8.99 for them on sale.
