Spring Toronto Meet 2014
Everybody's setups were cool and all (HD800 everywhere) but really, the one that left the biggest impression on me were ChrisJ's bass-modded Q701 on someone else's Schiit Vali. Just awesome. If I had the choice of any setup from the meet to get for myself, it would be that (or the K812). ...- FNgr8

Toronto Winter Meet
Like hype? I'll be selling my Somic MH463 headphones (http://www.head-fi.org/t/637699/50mm-driver-open-air-full-size-cans-pop-out-of-nowhere-sound-amazing) for super cheap because I realize I have no use for them and they've been sitting on my shelf for about six months now. I'll bring them to...- FNgr8

Toronto Winter Meet
Just something I remember from last year's meet, if everyone could try to bring a power bar/surge protector with enough outlets for their gear, that would be good.- FNgr8

Show us your vintage headphones!
Found these while cleaning up around the studio, thinking of using them to make a variant on the stratoKOSSter. I don't have a 1/4" to 3.5mm adapter, so my only listening impressions are through the amp for my bass guitar. They make my bass sound really bright and punchy, which I happen to...- FNgr8

Welp, it seems I was too rough on my earphones and now there's no sound in the left. I'll be bringing Shure SRH-840s instead.- FNgr8

Audio Technica updates their open headphones "AD" Series: AD2000x, AD1000x, AD900x, AD700x and AD500x
I own the AKG K550 right now, but I'm looking into other headphones because my ears touch the drivers, which I find really uncomfortable after an hour or so. Could someone tell me the depth of the pads on the AD900x?- FNgr8

cigarette-fi
I'm an occasional smoker, maybe a cigarette after a meal once in a while. Not much of a habit, I've stopped for weeks and months at a time simply because I couldn't be bothered to go to the store. My personal favourite brand:- FNgr8

20 hours of burn-in for AKG K550's
I have the same setup, I basically just listened to music for a long time (I'm a student, I listen to headphones anywhere from 5-10 hours a day). Listening volume should be fine, I keep mine at +6db gain and 20 volume. I did start with +2 treble and +4 bass when I got the setup, but for the...- FNgr8

Headphone Sightings 2
Must be karma, all I saw today were Beats and Bose headphones. Though it may have something to do with my classes being in arts buildings today. I did see one guy with a pair of on-ears plugged into an E17 though.- FNgr8

Review: Fischer Audio FA-003 - a neutral champ!
You might want to be careful with those then. I happened to get a defective pair (http://www.head-fi.org/t/637699/50mm-driver-open-air-full-size-cans-pop-out-of-nowhere-sound-amazing/165#post_9013011) so I decided to return them. The seller mentioned to me that they had a similar complaint...- FNgr8
