Jumped on board and bought some new IE8's. Hope they fit, as I already can feel that the sonic character will be in line with what I like.

How big are the Sony D66 and V6?

What are some of the best sounding closed cans that are about the size of Grado SR-60/SR-225 etc.. that I could take to the library and plug into my laptop? Non goofy looking headphones are a +1!!! Edit: Would anyone vouch for the HD 280 pros by Senn? How big are they?

Here's what these specific headphones will be used for: 1.) Laptop use, plugged straight in no amp. I want to be portable as possible. 2.) In quiet areas like laptops and cafes. 3.) Some for gaming so I prefer full sized headphones. 4.) I rip my CDs to high quality mp3s and do not...

Where can I get the best deal on AKG headphones?

Great debate guys. Yeah, well the transaction has already been made and he already paid a considerable amount for shipping so I will bend the rules a bit. Thanks for the healthly discussion.

I am totally clueless about this. I want to help a guy out but I don't know if it is the right thing to do... Does misrepresenting the actual value of the contents sent overseas so that the person doesn't have to pay a huge amount at customs violate law?

I was thinking with the freed up funds, I could get a nice amp but right now the RS-1s have set me back until I can muster up funds. Any of you guys prefer the 325/MS2s over the RS-1s? What about the RS-2? I've not listened to the RS-2s or the 325s or MS2s so I was wondering if you could...

lol, I was ready for a war. Time to go back to the classifieds and wait for a tube amp...

Technically, he wouldn't be losing 1k... he would just "not be gaining" the 1k minus the cost of a HD650 at dealer cost.

I was wondering if the packages without remotes were refurbs or was there a period when iRiver did not include remotes in the original packaging?

I know it is all subjective but I was wondering what is hands down the best sounding DAP regardless of normal firmware or 3rd party firmware etc. I am debating whether to get a CDP or a DAP. BTW: I need atleast 20gb but I don't really much more than 30.

Aston Martin Vanquish... nuff said.

Is it easy to actually snap the headband? I feel like I need to baby the headband.

Yeah but I bought these used and previous owners had larger heads than I and it is almost too loose.

Couple of questions about my newly acquired Grado RS-1s. Firstly, I am using C-pad bowls and I was wondering are the headphones suppose to clamp onto your head so that there is a bit of pressure against the outer rim of the ear? Second concern is, I move around a bit while I wear my...

I love mine with C-pad bowls!

Yay, just got them today. Best headphones I have tried so far and hopefully I can contain myself for a long time. I've owned CD3K, MS-1, ER4P/S, E5c and the RS-1 is way better.

Thanks for the discussion so far, Im still learning so keep it coming!

you need yourself a glass, preferably pint size and then alcohol... preferably liqueur. Saw it on Lord of the rings. JK
