You should probably leave it in. The mod does squash the pads, and they don't reform after a while, and there is at least one other set coming that is not modded.     Mine.

I'll honestly give my opinion on this, and I really think you should save money to get a proper set of custom IEMs. 1964 ears IEM's claim -26db of isolation. But as far as customs go, I think I would really consider saving up for an audiologist to do it. It's often worth the money to make sure...

BTW, if you were asking if it would work in a port that was sound-only, then yes it will. I don't know about the mic. To get both you need the adapter.

I just got mine. First reaction, holy crap these are small. Now I'm listening to them and it's awesome.

I'll bring all of my crappy mp3s by amateur artists, covering . . . lots.

I'm going to pop in and say that the D2000 probably isn't worth the price they're commanding since they've been discontinued. I can't think of any equivliant, but up to $300 for a used headphone that cost less than that new . . . Eenope.

I mentioned it in a different thread, but the directional cues you get are generated by software, not by the response of the headphone. The 'phone will signal a little differently, but the main soundstaging takes place in the creation of the audio signal, I.E. binaural recording works on all...

I've only ever used cheap on-ears. My brother has some Bose ones, but I don't really know about the comfort since I've only ever used them for a short amount of time. So I, also having glasses, associate on-ear headphones with ear-pain. I've also only used cheap circum-aural and in-ear phones...

Where does one sell or trade keyboards? I have a used one I'm looking to get rid of. Mechanical FTW!

You'll loose performance and I'm not sure that it will provide that much of a benefit. I'm not certain of the audiophile buzz about DACs, but the technical specs don't seem much different.

Honestly, my understanding of most gaming audio is trying to get a good headphone for it is trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear. Even in Counter-Strike:GO, which is a game that implements sound as a critical part of the game, is not only glitchy, but is also poor in it's directional...

Personally, I really want to try the Corsair M60/65.

I don't know if this has been asked before, how is the durability on these? Not like how much abuse they could take, but if they were put in a case and carried around, how would they last? How strong is the connection between the metal and top part of the headband?

Personally, I really want to hear the M-100s. Unless I just get some before then . . . but, but, but. So many choices.

Thanks for all the suggestions so far. I'm pretty bogged down in schoolwork right now, but I'll try and update the first post as soon as possible.

So, anyone have Mad Dogs to bring? I'd love to hear those if anyone does. I guess I could bring my Plantronics 780 GameCom. Although it's developing distortion in the left speaker.

What would be the effect of putting the Dog Pads onto an unmodded T50RP? Thinking about that as an option since I don't have the money to go for the Mad Dogs right now.

For my purposes, I'd prefer that, but I'm also compiling all the info in the first post. So just note that they are open.  

So, that's my objective. I currently have $200 for headphones. I may get more sometime, but at this moment I'm not sure. If I do get more, than I'll have $300 to play with, so I'd like to see a sub $300 can shootout. (I did search for one, and didn't see such a thread.) So here's what I'd love...

Wow guys. I mean really, 2 posts and one is this?

Not sure if trolling. >.>

I did have to exempt the whole site from adblock to get it working. I wonder if they did that on purpose. . .

I just got some cheap V-Moda earbuds. Given the name "Bass freq," obviously they have a very mainstream sound. EQing on my Clip Zip has brought the bass down to a strong, but not overpowering level, and I hear more mid and high detail then my $80 gaming headset. Oh well, live and learn. But I...

These really look interesting, a lot like the V-Moda M-100s but I'm wondering about the durability for long term usage. I doubt that they have anything resembling the toughness the M-100's have, but I don't plan on punting any headphones across a football field. Just plan on using them around...

As far as day goes, the 13th is totally out for me, unless something unexpected happens. Any other weekend is probably good.
