    Help me buy my first good pair of headphones.

    I'd give the K702 a thumbs down.. they are more music-specific than a lot of stuff and most of their big fans are people putting as much or more into their amp than the headphones. And yeah, if portable is a concern - they are wide open.. not what you want.

    Beat me to it by seconds! Good thing we agree :D Especially on the D2k/D5k/D7k series. I wanna slap someone when they say "just buy the D2k - it's 25ohms, no amp needed!" Quote:

    Quote: The speaker is driven by a voice-coil - a tightly wound wire. Current through the wire alters its interaction with a magnet attached to the voice coil, creating the movement that you hear.   Lots of times, thinner voice coils reduce moving mass, which is a good, but increase...

    Quote: I don't know what you are smoking, but I'll take some. Being oblivious to fairly recognizable aspects of reality sounds nice.   EDIT: Sorry, that sounds harsh, but I really think you may need to try out some other combos with those 800s!

    How much do open cans actually leak??

    Quote: Are you referring to the DT770 PRO or Consumer/Premium? The Premium looks much better in my opinion. The Premium is the one with the grey and aluminum cups, while the Pro has solid black cups. There are a few versions of each too. Sound wise, I prefer the Premium 250 (and would...

    Quote: Lol say whhhhhat?! I just paid 199.99 there for them, less than an hour ago probably. Oh well. I have glasses too half the time. I hear the D2k doesn't clamp hard.

    Having a tough time picking out closed and some what portable-ish HP's

    Quote: Not sure if you've seen Beyers in person or not. I wouldn't wear anything full size on my head in public, but if you would, I doubt you'd mind the Beyers. Idk what it is, but I feel like Beyers LOOK big in pictures - they really aren't. I'd say they are fairly small actually.

    Make some high impedance suggestions for me? Contrasting the HD600/650

    So I have the HD600, HD650, DT770 250ohm, and the Sextetts are on their way. I will probably end up selling or trading either the 600 or the 650 at some point.   Because I am building a Crack amp which is best paired with 100ohm or higher headphones, I'm trying to figure out what I may like...

    Sennheiser HD650 & Massdrop HD6XX Impressions Thread

    Quote: Different. Some people prefer the 600 or 650 over the 800. Seems to be a matter of style preference. Not necessarily more $$$ equals better performance, depending on your tastes.

    AKG K240 Sextett--Grado'd AKG?

    Quote: So you are saying he is making a profit on the shipping? I'd never do that to someone and would expect them not to do it to me. In any exchange i've had, shipping differences either way have been refunded. That's the right thing to do.
