    Looking for Comfort -$50-60 max

    Well I want to know how comfortable the headphones mentioned in this thread are, but I was just making a comment about how my roommates cheap headphones are really comfortable... Although, I think the main thing that complicates the comfort level of headphones for me is the fact that I wear...

    Looking for Comfort -$50-60 max

    I guess I'm looking for at least two hours of comfort... I mean my roomate has a crappy pair of Sony MDR something from a few years back (I'm pretty sure they are 30 dollar Target or Kmart models) and they are more comfortable than the headphones mentioned here...

    Looking for Comfort -$50-60 max

    I don't have a big noggin... Tried on the Hp460's and I can imagine these things hurting after an hour or so. I had a pair of Sennheiser HD-202's and those things were painful. HD 280 is a little out of my price range. I'd like to hear more about the AT SJ5, they look impressive. Does...

Recently purchased a PX100 for my MP3 player mainly, and I have some Logitech Z230 (?) speakers hooked up to my Dell e1505 laptop.

    Replacement Cushions for PX100

    Hi, I've looked through some older posts about the PX100, but I cannot find any working links for some replacement cushions. The sennheiser direct store is down right now, and I've heard you can buy them from koss.com but I don't know which model is similar to the PX100's. Any other places I can...

    The successor to the PX200's... from Philips

    I've been waiting for the reviews on the SHL-9500, and I've been thinking about whether to buy the SHL-9500, PX100's or HP460's but I'm going to pull the trigger and get the SHL9500's. 16 dollars at buy.com, needed to get something else from there, and got 10 dollars off 30. Let's hope these are...

    Creative X-Mod

    Creative X-Mod Not sure if this belongs in this forum, but I was wondering if this is is any good? I'm looking to use it with my laptop or my mp3 player/home stereo combo. I'm not even sure how it works exactly but it just seems cool.

    Comfort of PX100's

    I'm wondering how comfortable PX100's are for an open ear headphone. I've narrowed it down to a PX100 or an HP460 for my portable situations. I have also heard good things about the SHL 9500, but no reviews yet? Any comments?

    Need Something for College
