I tried out your forward config with my HD650. At first I thought it was strange and I listened to it for a while and I thought to myself, "This is cool but I don't think I'll keep". Then I tried the laid back setting and I liked it better. After a few more listens with the laid back setting I...

The Audio Technica Earsuit series are the sexiest looking headphones ever made whilst still retaining supreme audio quality.

+5 used superglue but one of the monitors is losing volume compared to the other monitor creating volume imbalance. It's really a shame. I wanted to stay with these headphones forever but I guess I might go for the Sony MDR EX-600. Headphones can never be perfect.

I read two pages. There is no HD650 talk from swbf2cheater in the first two pages

How does the HD650 scale with the "big boys" such as the LCD-2, HE-500, and/or Stax models and do you find the price for those "hi-fi" headphones worth it over the HD-650?

Reminds me of when I downgraded from the SM3 ($350) to the Xears TD-III ($50)... and I couldn't be any happier. Done with IEM's forever. Interesting read... makes me less enthusiastic about trying to get an HE-500 from my HD650 now. Maybe I should just stick with my HD650.

By the way joker, you should really review the ATH-ES55. It reminds me of the HD428 in that it has high value for it's price. Here's my review on it: http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/559703/ath-es55-quick-impressions-favorite-headphone-under-100#post_7563819

It's great that joker added the HD428. I did a review way back about it and not many people payed attention. It's a great headphone and you can get used it on eBay for around $20.

Quote: Also, people need to stop referring to me when it comes to "high end" gear. Haven't you read the other posts made by people who have heard "high end" DAC's? There are some that agree with me as well. I assume you ignored all the other posts then.    

Quote: I consider the headphones I had to be somewhat high end gear.   Sorry, but I'm not enticed to hear "high end" DAC's or even amps for that matter.   You do realize that hype and believing in placebo can effect the human hearing right? It's like an illusion.

Quote: You forgot that I also had an E7.   And to be honest, I don't really think you know anything about the X-FI chipsets. X-FI actually has uses for gaming. Besides DAC's by Creative Labs all had some pretty positive feedback here.      

Quote: Lmao I'm not reading this.   Quote: Yeah and all of these variables are not audible.   I can't even hear the difference between 44.1khz and 192000khz. It doesn't matter because it depends on the recording.
