If anyone watched today's episode of Dr Who, right at the beginning I noticed one of the guest stars on the episode had a pair of AKGs on, it looked like the akg240

Regarding the key placements you will get used to it after awhile, that's the nice thing about the human brain, it adapts so well.  And if you want a mechanical keyboard and you don't want the clicky noises, don't get a dampener, just get black switches, most people bottom out the keys while...

Quote: I lol'd   As for my buddies who can't get enough of beats and keep trying to convince me to buy a pair, I love the face they make after I let them listen to my headphones, properly amped with the bass up just to get them to stop complaining that they have no bass of course.  I...

M50's have an extremely generous price to performance ratio, even for audio technica, I would definitely recommend getting them as they are worth every penny you pay.  Great set of cans to take to work or school or w/e and the street price of the m50s is around 115 dollars if you get them...

A lot of people dump on sennheisers because they tend to be more dark and natural sounding than many other headphones.  Bassheads tend to not like sennheisers as much because they a tighter, but much quieter bass response which can be increased with proper amplification but it will never be that...

Quote:   The frequency argument is only partially correct here, everyone's ears are different and some people can hear more than average and some people less than average.  Also, the fact that you can't actually hear some of the much higher and lower frequencies doesn't mean that you...

for full cans, I like my pxc 450s when i go flying and as far as not full I would just go with ATH-CKM500s, they're great little IEMs for the price bracket that they are in fitting audio technica's usually generous price/performance ratio

Just grab a little fiio amp, you could probably do with an e6 honestly

Sonic artifacting is when the sound is distorted through compression, sometimes it warbles, maybe sounds like your are underwater, or gets metallic, ect.  It's kind of like when you take a small image on the computer, blow it up and you see all the weird stuff around the lines, only in this case...

I completely lost it when I saw the Dr who ad, only thing I could think of was both of those headphones are probably more destructive (to your ears) than a sonic screwdriver (to machines)

Home/school(sometimes) - sennheiser HD598s (to replace my old 595s that were falling apart) Gym - ATH-CKM500 IEMs Plane/general travel/school - sennheiser PXC 450s   I'm still sad that the cracking in the 595s got so bad that the cups started to fall off...

Actually the black widow is a fairly decent keyboard to game on, the only problem is unless you get the stealth one, they use cherry MX blues which are the clicky as screw keys.  I personally like blues because I'm a light finger typist and the sound is just awesome, but people who game with me...

1. HD595s 2. HD800s (on display in a hifi shop, so they had been loosened up considerably) 3. HD 650s   I'll note here that I wear glasses, so most closed cans that actually need a seal don't feel particularly comfortable as they tend to push on my frames which hurts my ears.  The only...

Had some guy pull out a Stax srm 323 amp and a pair of sr-507s.  I told the guy I was proud of him and he let me listen through them, it was a good day   I helped start a sennheiser following on my campus and I now see a considerable number of hd650s, 598s, 558s and 518s

So, I just recently discovered an actual good hi-fi store near where I live (screwing awesome) and they had the HD 800s available to demo.  I think that was the first time I'd actually been floored by headphones, I literally could not stand because they sounded so clean.  Without a doubt I can...
