Ok so its been about a week since I've had these.   I dunno if its the fact that I have huge ears... but these things start to bother me after wearing them for more than an hour :(   Are there any replacement pads u can purchase for someone with huge ears? 

I've heard that the ATH-AD700's are unbeatable headphones at the price range they are offered at.   By the way. If you don't feel like paying 130 for the astro mixamp you can always buy the Earforce DSS from turtle beach.  I paid only 60 for mine and it pretty much does the same thing as...

Anyone know of any good hard cases to store these bad boys in???   I've been rummaging through the net with no real leads 

So I got my 598's in today. First listen to these I was a bit underwhelmed... (more then likely due to me pushing them through a unamped iPod nano).   But once I got home I played a bit of music through my computer and the sounds began to become enveloped...   After about 3 or 4 hours of...

For anyone who is still wanting these headphones. I just got off the line with Jr.com rep and they price matched these cans for me for 179.99 with free shipping. They literally didn't even ask where I saw competitive price haha. I said the price and they said (within 4 seconds) "We'll match it"...

Quote: Thanks for the insight man.   Im mostly gonna be using these through my PC which has a nice X-fi soundcard.   Is it a guarantee that prices will drop in Feb? I've seen ppl paying around the same price for the ATH-AD900 and the 598's even from threads made last year. The...

Quote: How do the Superlux compare? Do they meet my requirements I listed :) I can take a look at these.

Sorry for double posting but I've got one final question that maybe someone can answer.   Which headphone works better un-amped... the 598's or the AD900?   Based on the answer I'll know which I want haha.   Thanks for all the help fellas.

Yah. Im starting to narrow my search. Currently considering the ATH-AD900 and the HD598's   Im just a little afraid of the 598's b/c their build isn't as "sturdy" as the 900's and I've read from to many people that they sound best when run through an amp... which I may get eventually but I...

Thanks for the input.   I wish there was a retailer near me where I could try all these different headphones... to see what I like the best.   The amount of info is overwhelming haha...   Anyone know of retailers in the Mid GA area that carry these cans and will allow you to take a...

Thanks for the input MalVeauX!   I was actually looking at the DT880 as well. But many people said that if you wanted to get the full potential out of it you'd need to run it through an amplifier.   Also I don't wanna rule out any headphone just b/c of one music category such as dubstep...

Well I think I've lurked these forums long enough. I used this forum to research the pair of in-ear buds I bought (Klipsch Image S4's).   Now I'm wanting to upgrade to a set of Audiophile cans :)   So here is my dilemma:   1. First and foremost these will be my first set of...
