My sincere sympathies.  The love lives on.

Consider the UE Triple-fis.  You can generally find them on the for sale/trade forum for $100 or so.  As long as you get a good seal, they isolate great have awesome sound quality for the money -- punchy bass and sparkling highs,  I've also found them to be very rugged and can take a lot of...

I'm in need of another portable headphone amp since my Little Dot Micro+ is MIA and have always yearned for better EQ control when using my iPhone. I just ordered mine from sharperimage.com. I'm really excited to hear what this will do.

IMHO the HFI-780's are not very comfy. Maybe I've got a big head, but they were really tight. I've owned the D2000's and still own the HD650's...both are very comfortable. The 650's are not basshead cans but very musical from lowest thumps to tinkliest highs. They are without a doubt the best...

I've got the Senn HD 238's...they're open, but the 228 are the comparable closed cans. They 238's are VERY comfortable and sound great. The 228's are only $55 on Amazon.

I bought a pair of Denon D2000's a few years ago (post). I was very unimpressed with them because I couldn't get enough volume for my old ears. Shortly after, I bought a pair of HD650's and retired the Denon's to the closet. Tonight I decided to pull then Denon's out and give them another...

Thanks, Golden Monkey, I may be in contact with you. I want to do a little more reasearch before I buy, but I'll definitely be being in the next week or so. I appreciate all the opinions you and other Head-fi'ers are offering. Quote: Originally Posted by Golden Monkey Yeah, Little Dot...

I just bought a Little Dot Micro+ portable amp to take to work. I've read that it's simply s so/so amp...I've gotta say, I'm blown away by what a difference it makes. My DT990's never sounded so good!! I can't wait get a better amp for home use to see what a "good one" can do. Quote...

I have the DT880s and I agree that they are incredibly comfortable. My office is kinda noisy, so I really need to use cans that provide some isolation. Based on everything I've read, it seems that Denon D2000's are going to be my answer. I really appreciate everyone sharing their opinions!

I have a pair of DT880s. [pics]. Does anyone know how to tell if they are the 250 ohm or 600 ohm version?

I'm looking for something to wear at work. Right now I'm using some Senn HD497's. They are nice and light, but get hot after a while and the sound quality is certainly lacking. I need something that's easy to take on and off so IEM's are probably out. What do you recommend that will be...

The 880s are really a great headphone. They are bright, but not nearly so much as something like the Grado 325s or Ultrasone HFI-780s. The isolation on them is a lot better than I expected with a semi-open can.

I recently bought the Beyerdynamic DT990s. IMO they are the best sounding dynamic headphones I've ever heard (with proper amplification).

In that price range, the Ultimate Ears Super-fi 5 Pro's are sure to please. Lots of isolation and detail.

My UE Triple-fi's completely satisf y my headphone need 99% of the time However, hearing the differences in all the different brands and models has become a hobby for me now. It makes me continue to examine what I consider the ultimate sound. I'm happy to report that for me, the triple-fi are...

I got the scoop from a rep at Ultrasone USA. Both the 750 and 2500 pads will fit the 2200's. The pads for the 750 are velour on the outside and pleather on the inside for better isolation. The pads for the 2500 are all velour. Thanks for the link for the headband pad, Leto A.

I recently traded for a pair of HFI-2200's. The pads are in need of replacement. I'm not a huge fan of the color, so i was wondering if anyone knows if the pads for the 750's or 2500's will fit?? Also, the pad on the top of the headband was missing. Does anyone know where I can buy a...

SE530. They don't hold a candle to the UE Triple-fi's, IMO.

Hi. I've been using a pair of super.fi 5 pros for about a year and absolutely love their sound. I love that I can hear the fret noise on acoustic guitar tracks and the overtones on acoustic pianos. I also like the punchy bass they give to dance music. I purchase some e500's but they lacked...

Does anyone know if it's possible to have the moldings of a pair of UE10s replaced with new molds for another person? I've found someone wanting to sell a pair, but I need to know if they can be re-fitted for me. I contacted UE and they said that refitting the earphones is not a service they...

I'm hoping there may be a few folks out there in the Dallas area who can recommend a few stores where I can try out a few of the headphones I'm reading so much about in this forum. So far, I've only discovered Audio Concepts where you can try the various Grado models and the Stax SR-404. I...

Is it wrong if I just post 50 quick messages? I'm an avid reader, but haven't posted much.

Bought used from a friend so mine have been in use for over a year. No cable issues at all.

Also, the UE 5 pro's have the same removable cable. It's very secure. It takes considerable effort to remove them.
