I'm hoping I can get some impressions comparing these to the NVX XPT100 (my current headphones; same as Brainwavz HM5 and Fischer FA-003) and the NAD Viso HP50 (the headphones I was primarily considering before the PM-3 was announced). Specifically, I'm looking for a comparison of the...

I usually hate posting more than once in a row, but this is way more than an edit of my last post and I figure this thread can use a bump.  Here goes...   I went on a trip to Mississippi (I live in Wisconsin): flew down Monday, flew back Wednesday.  Three flights each way.  Few hours in...

I've had these for about 2 weeks now, and I love 'em!  I don't think you can go wrong for $100.  It's everything I was looking for as an upgrade to my 8323s: way more soundstage, cleaner bass (certainly not bass heavy in any way like the 8323s, but there is none of the distortion that I could...

The only things I know about Austrians vs. Germans comes from the Sound of Music :p. Fitting, I guess, when you consider the forum ;).

Quote: I'm right there with you with regard to Monoprice.  So many great deals; almost all of my speakers and cables are from them, along with a pair of 8323s!  All the new 8-driver headphones started shipping within the last couple weeks, as far as I could tell.  They've been listed for...

It might also help to know what you consider "really high end".  It might be that what you consider high end includes a huge range of headphones that don't require amps, or your idea of high end may only include ones that really need an amp.  Do you have a price range in mind, or a certain...

Relative merit of the article aside, I love this bit at the end:   "When the LCD3s first arrived, I plugged them in to make sure they survived the shipping. I ended up lying down right there on the floor and listening to music for over an hour."   That, to me, speaks volumes.  There's...

I have an old pair of Realistic Nova 10s that sound just awful.  Not sure if it's because they sat in someone's dirty garage for many years before I got 'em, or if they always sounded that bad (I know a lot of headphones from those days were pretty bad).  I have some Nova 40s that aren't too bad...

I just joined today, but I've been lurking for months now.  The reason I decided to finally join was because today marked the arrival of my new pair of NVX XPT100s :-D.  For some reason a few months ago, I got the headphone bug and started digging into sub-$50 bang-for-the-buck offerings. ...
