Thanks a lot guys; I have a set of pretty nice speakers for home use (unless the roommate is asleep) so I think I'll go for the HD-25s.

not as good :S

Hi guys, I'm looking to buy some new headphones for both home and portable use, and I've narrowed it down to these two, based on price, reviews, and my own previous experience with Sennheiser. I'm just eager to hear what you guys have to say before I take the plunge. Which one would you...

So what's the dealio on these 'phones? I can't find anything on them! I just happened to be looking for a pair of portable headphones when, bam, these babies are up for a fearsomely good price! Anyone have a thought or two to share on'em? Wow, it's easier to talk like a jackass than I thought...

Just so you know, he uses the earbuds on his iPod. Seriously!

I'm surprised no-one's mentioned the ATH-SQ5. As far as I know they can be had for pretty cheap in America and sound (not to mention look) pretty sweet, and are pretty comfortable too. And they're compact! Did I mention the 3 different colours it comes in? *takes check from Audio-Technica under...

Hello Everybody! ("Hi Doctor Nick!") Just wondering, what would you guys say are the most comfortable headphones? I got a pair of ATH-SQ5s the other day and now I can't wear'em for more than half an hour without having to take them off every few minutes. Could be something to do with the...

I'll be in Taipei from the 30th. If your SR-80s are so bad, I'l gladly dispose of them for you for a nominal fee

I'm sorry, I may have phrased my question poorly. My question was if having a good soundcard makes a DAC unnecessary, as I already have an Asus Xonar. Thanks a lot for the response

From what I understand, a complete PC setups consists of a PC (durr), a DAC and an amplifier. However, I have an Asus Xonar soundcard. Does this mean I can forgo the DAC? I've my heart set on the AKG 701/2 and a Little Dot MKII but that's the limit of my budget, so I was wondering if any...

If it were a real improvement it would be called the K801 wouldn't it?

Bose's reputation among non-audiophiles is truly stratospheric, thanks to their marketing tactics and their second-to-none customer service. I recall seeing a customer satisfaction survey a while back on Gizmodo. Bose was number one by a loooooong shot.

I've heard of Vivid... no wait.

I'm a bit confused. The SQ of these headphones is often compared to that of the HD650. Yet the K701s are almost half the price. Is there something I'm missing out on? Also, does anyone have any recommendations as to what a good amp for these 'phones would be? Thanks in advance
