So I was thinking of picking up a pair of the Sennheiser HD558 because of their mostly awesome reviews. My only concern is whether or not I will have to pick up a headphone amp. I like to listen to music loud and I'm wondering if anyone has any experience with this. Will my Macbook be able to...

I was actually just searching for a replacement via google and came across this thread. I also found this page that ships from the UK but equates to about $25 I believe.   http://www.custom-cable.co.uk/b-and-w-p5-replacement-1.2-metre-lead.html   Also, I had emailed product support for...

I actually picked up a pair of the SL99s a couple of days ago. They sound very good actually; decent soundstage. I only had a problem with the fit. They seem almost too big and fall out frequently, regardless of the ear tip size I tried.

Anyone hear anything about these? I just saw them on apple's website and then on amazon with no reviews.

Thanks for the info, that's the main thing I was wondering about, the sound quality differences. From what I've heard (and read) the LP's sound pretty good and if the M-80s best those than all the better. Might try picking up a pair to use as a back up.

Just came across a pair of v-moda m-80s in a store, haven't got a chance to try them out. Are these different than the crossfade LPs? Has anyone listened to them or have any opinions? Just curious. Checked v-moda's website and I found v-80s, but not m-80s.

LOL everytime I get on the bus I survey everyone's gear and end up with a mixture of disappointment because they're almost all apple earbuds and smugness because it makes me special. =D

I have a budget of about $200; I really don't want to go higher than that. I used to own the Monster Turbines but I didn't like the fit (even with the comply tips) and the treble always kind of irked me. I'm currently using the Klipsch Image S4s and I like them a lot but I can hear that they're...

So, build quality is usually one of the biggest factors for me when choosing to buy anything (cameras, cell phones, headphones, etc) and for the most part, I hate plastic. Even plastic that claims to be pretty durable. I just have a fetish for metal I guess. As a result, I was wondering what the...

Quote: I've never had the opportunity to give the KSC-75s a listen, and while I'm sure they're quite good, it's possible that our ears and listening preferences aren't exactly the same and as a result, our mileage may vary. What do you think of the 440s?

I'd recommend the Shure SRH440 ($99) or the B&W P5 ($299). The Shure has excellent sound quality all over the place, but is more suited to a "stay at home" pair because of the giant curly cord, and though it is detachable, there's a special twist lock that makes it hard to swap it for a...

  Quote: Honestly I had the Image One's for a while before getting the P5s. I thought they sounded pretty good, and though they seemed pretty durable, and they did look very cool, I was swayed by the sweet build of the P5s. Now, I do like the sound on the P5s a little bit better...

Sorry for posting in the wrong place. I was just wondering if the beats audio came with all the complaints of its headphone series of the same name do. It piqued my interest since I started hearing about it.
