    Best Can for Home Theater?

    I just ordered the ATH-A700's. Well within my price range, and I liked the positive comments on them. Plus they look pretty cool! I'll let you know how I feel about them when they arrive.

    Headphones suck for movies

    Sorry, I should have posted that. I'd like to keep it lowish, $150 max. I see the Sennheiser HD555 fits that range easily.

    Headphones suck for movies

    I figured I'd post here rather than start a new thread... I just moved into a condo, from an apartment that was over a garage with no neighbors, so now watching movies at night with the volume turned up to where I like it is out of the question Just looking for a good set of headphones I can...

    Eaah! Just got a pair of Shure SE530s. What gives?

    I just bit the bullet and ordered a pair of lightly used SE530s from eBay. Currently I'm using the E3G so I'm looking forward to seeing how they compare. I guess if I don't end up liking them, they'll just go back on eBay again, so I guess I feel that I'm not risking much.

    Legally Downloadable Binaural recordings links

    Has anyone tried out the Binaural Beats? It sounds like depending on which one you listen to, it'll help you keep alert, or relax, or dream, or sleep deep.

    does quality of optical cables have effect on SQ?

    Just for reference, I find that the metal coathangers from Wal-Mart give me a much wider soundstage and tighter bass than hangers from Target or K-Mart.

    3G Nano Review in Comparison with the 2G...SQ added

    I'm using Shure E3Gs and hear no hiss at all with my 3G Nano. And yes, 16 gigs would have been awesome. Oh, and another comparison from the old iPods I haven't seen here... the screens seems to be VERY scratch resistant. Haven't seen one appear yet on mine. AppleInsider said they took a coin...

    Why hasn't it been done yet?

    When I was recently shopping around for a new DAP, I looked pretty closely at the new Zen that is coming out. It's a slick looking little device. But quite a bit of my music was purchased from the iTMS, so that pretty much meant I'd be getting another iPod. Which is fine, I ended up getting the...

    Shure yellow foam tips vs. black coated foam tips?

    Well, I'll share my experiences here as soon as I get my medium olives. I figured medium would be the correct size since that was the size I used when I used the ultrasoft rubber tips, and the yellows fit me well too. I'm mainly looking for a bit more comfort, and possibly a bit more isolation...
