    D-NE300 and G-PROTECTION

    If it's anything like my EJ360 then the setting is "inside" the player. It's a little switch under where the CD goes. So just open the lid and you should see the switch

    New iPods...

    Does anyone have the release dates of the previous iPod generation, this could maybe help estimate the release of the 5G iPod. EDIT: Googled a bit and iPodlounge had a brief history of the iPod: 1G Nov 2001 2G July 2002 3G Maj 2003 4G July 2004 So looks like the summer of 2005 is a...

    k240s or MS-1s unamped

    I prefer my AKG K240S to the Grado SR60 and SR80 that I've heard. The Grado had an involving sound, but the highs just pierced my eardrums, I felt like I was being fed razorblades directly into my ears, not very pleasant. The comfort of the Grados are horrible too, it may be alright for very...

    For commuting - AKG K240S?

    Just want only one AKG

    The K240S (or K240M) can be had for less than $100, and offer great bang for your buck. I haven't listened to other phones in the AKG lineup, but I enjoy my K240S very much, and I doubt that you will be disappointed considering the low cost. The are very comfy too, but your ears will start...

    Where have the ATH-FC7 fans gone?

    I think the FC7 fans are still here, or maybe they have just found the perfect headphone for them and don't use the forum any more I have them too, and I like them alot, but the comfort could be better, but after having used them for 3-4months it has got better, and I can use them...

    Noob looking for first good headphones <100

    You should also consider the AKG K240S, they are simi open, and very comfortable. I personally prefer them to the HD555, but I haven't tried the A500 so cant comment on those. The AKG are also very cheap in the US and offer great bang for the buck

    Upgrade conundrum

    I recently got a used pair of AKG K240S off this forum, and theyare very enjoyable. Before I purchased I tried a number of headphones, mostly Sennheiser (580, 600, 555 and 595) and almost bought the 595 from Germany, since that could save me quite a bit of money compared to buying from a local...

    Did you give any headphones as a gift this year?

    I got my dad teh Sennheiser PX100 and he likes them alot, he's actually listening to them right now. For my brother I bought the Philips SBC-HS900 to replace his old and broken Philips headphones. I was not that easy to find some circum-aural and portable headphones that I could afford to...

    www.headphonereviews.org

    Hmmm, the site is a great idea, but it's going to be very very hard to get "fair" reviews until tens or hundreds of people have reviewed each headphone. Maybe you could make teh option to n/a the "improves with amplification" if the reviewer does not have what is considered a good headamp. I...

    Can a MINT drive an AKG K240S (55 Ohm) well?

    Heavy amplification is not a must. They sound okay out of my onboard soundcard, and they sound great from my NAD T741 receiver, so a MINT should ahve no problems driving them.
