And another thing.... Do not accidentally get the Sony MDR - V600 instead of the MDR - V6. I have 20 or so V600s at my job. They are durable and comfy, but sound quality is lackluster.

Like bleak I own both a lower end Grado (the 80s in my case) and the D1000s. I agree with all of bleak's points comparing them. Denons have a shorter cable, but they also include an extension that would cover a whole dorm room if he needs it. Deeper, stronger bass in the Denons. Faster...

I have cleaned my ears many times with hydrogen peroxide. It foams, and after repeated cleansings over a week's time will remove frightening things from your ears. I am not a doctor, and my hearing is going away, so take what I say for what it is, anecdotal advice.

Save the wax. If you can get one out of the other ear, you could use them for custom IEM molds....

Reginald had been perplexed lately. His wife Phoebe had seemed distracted to the point of disinterest. He longed for the days where her every thought was bent toward him. At dinner he decided that it was time to broach the topic of her newfound distance from him. "Anything on your mind Phebes...

I just received some senn pads for my grados this weekend. I didn't find the bowls totally uncomfy, but the senn pads feel a LOT better to me. I have not quarter modded them yet, and I am not sure I will.

If I upgrade from D1000 to D2000, what improvements should I expect? I like the 1000s. My only criticisms are that the mids are a little recessed on occasion and the bass is big but can be a tad sloppy. Will these conditions improve in the 2000s? Must I have an amp for the 2000s? Thanks as...

And another thing... Are the 225s the bassiest grados? Seems like they are by the reviews at headphonereviews... But there aren't enough reviews to give a statistically significant impression...

I have recently been sucked into the wallet-depletion vortex we laughingly call head-fi. I decided to buy a range of mid-level phones to see which I liked. I bought Goldring DR150s, Senn 595s, Grado SR80s and Denon AD1000s (also marshmallows and ksc70s but that is a different matter....) The...

I am moving to a new house. The water pressure is fine, but not terrific. I also will be on a septic tank system, so I have good reason to restrict water. I love a good shower. Any suggestions for a good low-flow shower head experience? Up until now it has been a case of simply removing...

I am going to buy replacements for the foam on my marshmallows. This is my first trip into replacement foams. First, What do you guys recommend to replace the foams on Marshmallows? Second, What size should I get? They seal pretty well with the stock foams, but I suspect I could go size...

You might try the Epley manuever. BPPV -- Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo Or google epley manuever. GL

Shifter, there have been lots of posts by folks who are eminently more qualified to give an opinion already but here goes.... One of your posts suggest Grados. They are great phones but have no isolation whatsoever. Others have suggested IEMs, but you said you want phones that are comfortable...

Does she like hi-fi sound? Most civilians (non-headfi types) that I know couldn't care less about the improvements in sound you get by moving up the headphone ladder. For instance, my wife would be as happy with her sennheiser pmx60s as with sennheiser hd-650s. In fact she would like the...

PS. Just music. No games. No movies.

Fairly new to Head-fi. I have recently bought 6 new sets of phones with an idea to pick one or two to keep and sell the rest on the FS forum. Folks here seem to suggest that I upgrade the source audio on the computer before I make the phone decision. From reading this forum, I would have...

Thanks Herandu. I wasn't really interested in buying them though. I thought there might be some vintage folks who would be interested here. Or possibly the "Ugliest Headphone" entrants...

I saw these vintage Denons for sale on ebay. Anyone know anything about them? The seller claims they are AH-9 Denons from 1985. Here is a link to the auction.. DENON AH-9 STEREO HEADPHONES...EXCELLENT SOUND, SHAPE - eBay (item 110221651350 end time Feb-11-08 14:44:42 PST) The seller...

Got my two month chip in the mail today. I am happy to say that my headphone family has grown considerably this month. I now have Grado SR80s, Senn 595s, Goldring 150s, Ksc75s, PMX70s, Marshmallows (seems like IEMs could be a growth area for the three month chip) and I ordered some Denon 1000s...

My recommendation would be to skip the phones and talk to folks on the trains.... You can listen to music anytime, but travelling Europe by train is a rare opportunity to meet interesting people.

First pair? Why not head down to Circuit City and get some Marshmallows on special for 9 bucks... It is an easy way to find out if you like phones stuffed into your ears.

Like Jeff, I would love to attend, but I just can't make it. We just bought a new house and I have to spend all free weekend time trying to get in it... Man! I would love to hear some things and meet you folks, but it will have to wait until next time. Thrice, pm me your paypal email and I...

At work, I sometimes get a pretty decent static shock from my headphones. It seems to travel from the metal driver assembly straight to the good old external auditory meatus (ear)... Anyone else get shocks from their phones? Just as a point of reference, I get shocked using the Sony V600s...
