i have the pro 750 and also got a hfi model for my dad, i only listen to and also produce trance. this is going to sound contradictory to the other posts but i wouldnt use them for trance due to the unacceptable colouration, the bass is exaggerated (although controlled and not boomey) but they...

i usually leave my headphones on top of my 8inch monitor speakers but ive always had the thought that this could be bad for them in the longterm as the magnets in speakers are quite big and the phones could be within their magnetic field which i assume would eventually change the magnets in the...

ive gone throught countless numbers of ex-71's, the cord will break either at the y-join or at the earbud after a short time and no sound out of one ear. i know one person who got a replacement for them as they usually go within 6-12 months of everyday use. i do love the lightness, low profile...

u might be able to pick up a cheap hard plastic case at a diy store if you can find one deep enough and just put your own foam in, or even a biscuit/sweet tin if you dont mind looks

good review

i remember doing this stuff in school too which was a good thing. isolating ear canals and iem's are better than the ear bubs that were around then that you had to blast your ears just to hear them over the background. i also remember them saying speakers werent too good for you either but...

for reference a link to the mentioned mod: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/how...67/index5.html kees, you prefered the 900 to the much more expensive edition9?

i got to say i think the esw10's are overpriced for what they are, i was tempted but $600 price tag made the decision not to buy pretty easy.

I thought I would write a brief comparison between these partly for anyone in the future deciding between them and partly to counter the recent hype surrounding the dt-150. My setup is: PC> USB connection to virus ti soundcard (this is a £1400 synth that can act as a soundcard, the...

i like the ksc75 theyre definately better sounding than the sony ex71 which ive used up to now as theyre so comfortable. is there any iem that has as good sound quality as the ksc75's for around the same price? (i dont want to buy anything too expensive as they always tend to break). thanks

1. sony sa5000 2. ultrasone pro 750 3. beyerdynamic dt-150 4. koss ksc75 5. sony ex71 (ear canals) 6. shure e2c - (sold, dont remember much about them apart from being uncomfortable, overpriced and making my favourite music sound terrible)

it depends on what your tastes are and what music you like. im no expert but from everything ive read the 650s have a warmer sound from the hightened bass, good for classical, jazz etc but not as fast and treble emphasised/bright as the sa5000 and pro900 which are better for faster music, rock...
