Very nice set of equipment, schaqfu. I imagine yours will be among the most popular setups of the day.

I'd love to hear of how the M50 measures up against the Fischer Audio FA-003 and its more readily available clones in a straight comparison. I've never listened to the M50's, but I am extremely pleased with the sound quality of the HM5 for the price. At around $120 I would hope they are always...

Another +1 from Frogbeats. These guys rock. I really hope they keep growing.

Quote: There are video reviews for people who work for major companies (CNET, etc) which directly compare the Astro A40's and the PC360's and find them to be roughly equal. It is difficult to get an idea of headphones without picking them up and trying them on for extended periods of...

Because i'm LAAAAZY and they're the same headphone. You're right, I do need to get around to changing it. What's funny is I have an actual FA-003 on the way. STUPID RUSSIA. Never, ever order anything from GD-audiobase. It is a complete nightmare dealing with them. Frogbeats is the way to go. I...

Glad you picked up another D7000, MLE. I got my Brainwavz HM5 in two days ago and am loving it. I have yet to game with it, but will likely get some time in this weekend. It sounds like the FA-011 would be perfect for gaming, as fellow head-fier LFF said in his review of the product. My FA-003...

Someone needs to come up with a mod that makes those things isolate like champs. I would definitely consider a modded pair if I could use them in a library without worries. Would likely change the sound signature, though. Speaking of which, anyone here try an open mod for those things? Might as...

Thanks for that explanation. I've talked a few other people and they all seem to be stating the same thing. I guess it is off to Walmart for me to pick up the KSC75. These are what i've been using ATM. I do wonder what the actual manufacturer of them are, as they don't sound half bad.  

Quote: I really have to get my hands on a player that is inarguably far superior to an Ipod/Iphone to see what differences there is on a song-to-song level. I think music sounds just fine from my phone. I couldn't tell a difference between using a LOD and the E7 and a LOD and the E11...

Hmm. The product that cost half as much from the same company sounds clearly better? That seems hard to believe. I'll have to go through a few reviews and see what the general consensus is at the moment. I'm still looking for a good source for the KSC35's, but I will check out the other pair as...

Can anyone recommend a source for these headphones that is lower than on the Koss website itself? It is odd that they don't even show up on google shopping, let alone most other major search engines.

I've been playing with the Fiio E7 and E11 with these headphones. I notice an improvement to bass with the E11, but beyond that, I don't really sense this huge difference. I just don't think I know what to listen for to tell the truth. I like them with added bass, which shouldn't be shocking...

Thanks for the explanation, Head Injury. I'm pretty happy with how these headphones sound as is. I tried messing around with an E7 and an E11 and only noticed a slight difference with the E11 via LOD with +2 to bass. I guess I should just be happy with what i'm hearing and not spend more...

Not the most succinct title, I know, but i'm trying to see if it is worth it for a "casual listener" like myself to go back and rip CDs that I have at a lower bit rate or downloaded from Itunes into a better format. I use a set of Brainwave HM5's straight out of an iphone 3GS at the moment. I...

Mine just arrived. Question for you guys who already have your pair. Do you wear the pad ON your outer ear, or do you allow that part of the ear to fit inside of the cup? Wouldn't doing so obstruct the speakers in that particular part of the headphone?
