I hate to take advantage of the collective knowledge of the head-fi again, but I am in need of some help. I basically have two requirements, the headphones MUST be/have. - Circumaural - A long cord (about 6ft/1.83m) Also my budget is $80... I know, I'm poor... Other than that, I don't...

I know, the last thing you need is another thread like this, but I'm in need of help. I just recently got my first MP3 Player, and I decided I need a good pair of portable headphones to go with it. My budget is limited to under $50. Now, I know what you're thinking, 'It's obvious, just go...

The new Hella album came out yesterday, and I went out and got it right away. And if you're like me so did you, because you've been anticipating this release for quite a while now. Of course this is their first album as a 5-piece (upgrading from a 2-piece) and the first with a vocalist. I'm...

I'm very interested in how albums are made and all the processes that go into it. I was wondering if anyone could help me with some of these terms. In layman's terms, could you explain what exactly these words mean in the context of making an album? Recorded Produced Engineered Mixed Mastered

I don't know if anyone else's local Border's has a listening station. But the one here in Santa Cruz has a bunch of CD's you can listen to in the music section of the store. The headphones there are Koss'. They are pretty big (supra-aural). They are horribly uncomfortable because where...

Hey, I thought you guys/girls would be interested in this. Every week you can stream newly released albums in their entirety. The update every week and have anywhere form 5 to 25 albums per week. You have to be using Internet Exploror and have ActiveX. But it's well worth it. Just scroll all the...

I have a couple questions about these headphones. First of all, how do they sound in comparison to the AKG K81DJ's (if you haven't heard them, then just give your opinion)? Would either one be considered an 'upgrade' from the K81's? Also, would this be a good deal for either headphone...

OK, I got my AKG K81DJ's. And I love them. But, I do have one concern/question. I noticed it last night while listening to 'Bear Vs. Shark - Right Now You're in the Best of Hands, and if Something isn't Quite Right Your Doctor Will Know in a Hurry'. The bass sounds very clear, but when they...

Can a CD player cause static? I was listening to a song on my CD player (a Sony D-NE005) and noticed crackling during certain parts of a song. I figured there was something wrong with my headphones. But later I was listening to the same song on a friends computer (192 kbps MP3) and there was no...

I was wondering if anyone knew what place (online) that has the best price for the AKG K81DJ headphones. I've been looking around on the net, but because I'm so new at buying headphones online I'm not sure whether or not a lot of these sites are reliable. So if anyone could tell me the a cheap...

I was wondering if anyone else had heard of these guys. They play what some people call 'Post-Hardcore', 'Indie-Rock' and 'Punk', but they're all wrong. They are as unclassifiable as any band I've ever heard. They are one of the greatest and most important bands in music (IMO), and yet they are...

I've seen this on many other message boards, so I figured there should be one here, as I assume a lot of people here have a Last.FM account. It's simple, just post your top 10 artists you listened to each week. It's great for finding other people that listen to similar artists, and discovering...

OK. I just recently got (yesterday actually) the famous Koss KSC-75's. Man, I love them. They are the best headphones I've had. But I was just wondering if they need to be burned in? Well, maybe 'need' isn't the right word. But does burning them in effect the sound much at all? And if so, in...

OK guys, I'm totally new to headphones. The only ones I've ever heard are $20 Sony's, TDK's and Behringer's (currently have Behringer's). I'll try to be as specific as I can with what I need. First of all I'm looking for cans in the $40-$60 range, as I don't plan on making a huge leap right now...
