    Serious security problems with Alessandro's site

    I think it's unprofessional. I don't see why I'd ever deal with a company that, when this issue is brought to their attention, refuses to fix it.

    Replacing speakers with headphones for college.

    Comfy unamped home phones: If not the HD590s, what?

    Quote: Originally Posted by Veniogenesis My suggestion: A900. Non portable, extremely comfy, no need for amp, jack of all trades for music. Sealed though... I second this suggestion.

    damn you all...

    I recommend being poor. As a highschool student, budget controls my impulse. After a summer of profitable poker playing, I was able to afford a pair of used A900's. Sweet!!! Next summer, I'll play poker for a CMOY. Also make sure you play with friends who won't accept your headphones as a...

    CONTEST! Sponsered by Elephas, enter to win a Grado Headphone case.

    How about something that would be beneficial to the community? For example, what about writing a short post on advice you wish you had received in your first Head-Fi thread, or before purchasing your headphones? What advice would you share with a newcomer? ( "Welcome to head-fi, sorry about...

    will running and sweating hard damage my shure e2c?

    I recently got injuried running and now work out at the Y with my Shure E2c's. . . The first time I used my preferred, foam sleeves. That was a really good idea, until afterwards, when they were so wet and absorbed that they didn't act like foam anymore! It took days for them to get back...

    looking for quality for around $70

    All of the suggested headphones sound like great choices - I am a high school student and have owned a pair of KSC-35's, Shure E2c's, and now Audio Technica A-900's (way out of your budget). If you want a pair of headphones now, I'd say get the KSC-35's for $20. Value-wise, that's unbeatable...

    Newbie looking for some new cans

    So far I've owned two relatively low-end headphones that get good value reviews here: the KSC-35's (about $30) and the Shure E2c (about $55). I just bought a pair of AT A900's ($200 new, but I got them used), but haven't gotten/listened to them yet. The KSC-35's sound like they leak too much for...

    Avoiding headaches...

    Drink more water and less caffeine. A cheap solution to many headaches.

    "My Bose are better than your Beyers." how do I respond to this?!

    In defense of your response, to me it sounds like a couple of dorm-room acquaintances in a argument where formalities and tact are neither needed nor desirable. Here's where you might be wrong, though: If you have never listened to the Bose headphones, they might sound better than yours...

    Anyone have iPod EQ tips? I use the "Latin" setting.

    Headphones for a College Student

    I'm in High School and I have owned both a KSC-35 and now a pair of Shure E2c. I bought the latter planning on not upgrading until I graduate at the least (in a year and a half) and perhaps longer. So far, they have suited me very well. They have a big jump in sound-quality, especially...

    n00b ecstasy

    For some reason, perhaps it is the fact I am a high-schooler with a limited budget, or because I have an iPod and no interest in an amp, or maybe it is just my character - I'm totally fine with my Shure E2c's. They will be my headphones until I graduate.
