Perhaps the increased radiation in the air due to the earthquake in Japan enhances sound waves and makes the headphones sound about $100 better.

Yea it has HDMI ports.  Now that you mention it, that makes a lot of sense; the drivers were probably for the HDMI.  Why it was interfering with everything else I have no idea.

Hello Head-Fi,   So recently I built a new computer.  I've begun noticing a subtle but very annoying skip every now and then when listening to music.  It's not even really a skip, but it's like a small skip with a crackle.  At first I thought it was a bad recording, but I've been noticing it...

Living in the Bay Area allows me to buy headphones and Craigslist them to break pretty close to even.  Bought AD700's on Amazon in 2009 for $84, since they were over $100 on Amazon recently I was able to sell mine for $80 on CL.  Bought my DT770's in late 2009 for $160, sold on CL for $150 a...

Remember how Grados suck

Wow.

I usually swear by headphones made in Germany/Austria/etc. so this is quite disappointing.  The HD555 has been out for 5+ years, c'mon Sennheiser get your sht together.

Quote: Oh I wasn't referring to you in particular; sorry if it seemed that way.  I'm just referring to how there's always at least 3 threads about Beats on page 1 and it's always filled with people making snobby exaggerated comments about them. 

Blind Beats hatred is the most overplayed and boring thing on Head-Fi.  Not that I'd ever buy Beats myself, but then I'd never buy Grados (again) either.

I don't like how they're built half-assedly and odds are you will encounter some sort of build deficiency somewhere along the line.  I don't like how there's a special term for driver rattling that plagues Grado's exclusively.  I don't like how the earcups are held by thin metal rods and as time...

Can I look forward to seeing incessant Sleek threads along with Beats Bose and Skullcandy on the frontpage now?

The Z2300's are funny.  I'll never hesitate to admit they sound like ass.  Yet, I love mine to death.  That subwoofer is too powerful for the price.

So recently I was curious and plugged in my 250ohm DT880 into my iPod shuffle.  To my surprise, it could get fairly loud.  Did I get shafted?  I've been told for 250ohms an amp is required, does this mean mine is actually 32 ohms? 

I did not know the Pro and Premium version sound the same.  Was under the impression that the Pros would sound slightly worse for some reason.  I wouldn't mind if Beyerdynamic just made 1 version of a headphone at a time like other manufacturers.

Depends on the game.  Most console gaming I'd say is hokai.  But once you delve into MMO addiction (which is a very real and scary thing,) gaming becomes a royal waste of time.  I won't go into it unless you want me to, but MMOs can really f your s up.
