RE2's and PL30's.

PK2 or OK3 are pretty much your only options, but at $50+. The G2's sound similar to KSC75's, even slightly better, but they're also >$50.

The fact is, when it comes to umbrellas, there is only one. Senz Features? Automatic repositioning according to wind direction. Cannot be inverted. Rated to withstand 100km/h winds (but youtube videos showing 130+, see below). Don't believe me? See for yourself. original wind tunnel...

This live.com cashback business has never ever worked for me. I've concluded it must be exclusive to USA peeps. Back on topic, has anyone gotten their triple drivers yet? I'd love to read some impressions.

The UE's aren't likely to fit under a helmet. The other suggestions are good though. The X5's and UM2's more potential options.

RE2's are known to be light on bass, which is one of the reasons why it synergises well with the Fiio E3 amp. If you want more bass, I recommend throwing in another $10 for the amp.

Was certainly entertaining while it lasted... Thread could do with a lock now though.

I noticed the general trend that anytime I ever saw "studio" attached to a description of a pair of cans at a store, they were typically high impedence. Perhaps it's a way of dissuading people who don't know anything about audio (and thus unlikely to have an amp) from buying them? Dunno.

Open or closed? Do you want them to be portable? Amped or unamped? What music do you listen to? You'll need to consider these things before committing yourself. Since you already mentioned isolation, I'm going to guess closed. In that case a pair of recabled D2000's would fit nicely within that...

Definitely like the idea for a "limited edition" or personalized for head-fi version. That *would* be epic. 29 for the group buy so far. Who's regularly in contact with Fiio? Perhaps they can fire off an email. Personally, I wouldn't mind even paying an extra couple bucks for a limited edition...

They've sold out, damn.

Sleek just started shipping the W1. Quite a few people here pre-ordered it, so expect a flood of reviews soon.

And price...

I've been playing with the OK3's recently. They're also very very good for rock music (I listen to indie mostly, and they're perfect for it). It's been a while since I've heard the PK2's, but people here claim that OK3's are better than the PK2's. And you don't need an amp with either of them.

Why anyone would want to use the panasonic wires with the sleeks is beyond me, but the point is it might be possible to use the sleek wireless adapter with the panasonic phones. If we knew precisely what that jack was, we could also make aftermarket cables, which would be 4TMFW.

Looks exactly like an EF1 to me. The blue LED, heatsink, caps, tube, transparent cover - are all in the right place. Can you take more pics? (particularly of the front and rear panels, and a more detailed picture of the circuit board)

Your preferences sound ideal for Futuresonic Atrio M5's, Klipsch Image X5's, and maybe even the UE SF5's (v2).

Looks like a D1 clone. Some of the circuit components look different though. At least 1 capacitor is different, and 2 opamps look different. edit: audiophilechina.com also sell it, for $289
