You also have to consider diminishing  returns on larger output. Scheduling large scales of product is easy to do, but the more ipads you can produce at once the less return you will get. For example if you have the means to make a million ipads a day, then you will be under utilized later on...

I don't know about the M50's but others seem to praise them as a great entry level closed headphone. Might want to buy from a place that allows returns incase you don't like them. Personally I bought Sony MDR-V6 many years ago for closed headphones and I like there sound for their price. I know...

The Audio Technica M50's are not open back, they're closed. Grado would be a bad choice for your use. Noise canceling usually have worse sound quality in comparisons to non noise canceling for your price range.

I hate having back pain because someone ran into my car when I was stopped.

Are you serious? Yeah!!!

Like others have said the chrome is the newest version. Just return the headphones, its false advertising.   If you want the older brushed aluminum then call up actual audio stores, they tend to go through stock slower so they might still have the brushed ones instead of the new "Bling...

Yes. You just need a mini toslink adapter and toslink cable. I plugged my home stereo this way using toslink. Either a toslink cable or the USB cable will work for you. Try my suggestion above first.   Quote:

go to utilites, then click on midi audio. Then change your dac to 24 bit. I just got a dac for my MBP.

@ sunmonkey   Good to hear your enjoying your new system. I have a very similar setup macbook pro i5 to udac2 to 325is (Brushed Al) and love it. The new chrome version probally came out a little more then a month ago looking at threads with other surprised people. It would be nice if...

Just advertisements, Ive noticed several sites doing this now. Web masters like to keep the basic screen size to a normal res that will fit the majority of the public. But for us lucky people with large screens (I have a 1920 x1200) we get more advertisements to enjoy.

I think its important to go up the ladder. Althought I'm no where near the top or even mid, I can see a big difference from were I was and today (ibuds to Grado 325IS). If I just started out with a $10,000 system then I probally wouldn't appreciate it as much. Not to mention it would be hard to...

Hi!

I would love to buy higher end audio equipement. I spent part of my gifts on my Grado 325IS and love it for rock.There is always more audio equipment. DAC, amps, more headphones, EQ, phono, SACD, just more. Being in the audio world, its hard to be satisfied.

My favorite brand of jackets is Arc'Teryx, their made in Canada and awesome quality. But, they may be too flashy for you.

Raise a complaint with ebay, if they don't do anything then bring the charge up with your credit card company. You should not get stuck with the defective product. Not all sellers are evil, sorry that you got stuck with a lemon.
