>any odor from seeping into the pads. ? Your head smells? Yeah, that might be why.. think I'll have someone knit some w5000 booties for the wings!

yeah, I -have- tried discharging myself first! I'm pretty sure it's not me, per se, it's the spandex-like covering on the head wings! So putting them on or taking them off rubs the spandex against my hair and the drivers are in for a shock, so are my ears. I was thinking I could put a wire...

Got my pair last week and I'm getting a lot of times where there's a static elect. build-up and my ear's close enough to the metal driver cover that it sends a nice shock there that I can hear. Sometimes it's enough that it knocks out m m-audio transit (somehow? w5000's ->headroom little ->...

The hum from my laptop's audio out is noticeable if the volume is low or off. I got an m-audio Transit and it's gone and lovely. Costs ~$100.

blew out my 325i's after a few months and called them- told them they stopped working- no sound at all. They said to send it in. It was sent back to me about 10 days later and a note saying it was repaired. No hassle at all, very nice of them.

I was running my mp3's from my laptop (Dell Latitude D810) to my Headroom Little and then to my RS-1's. Before the transit, and with other headphones and canal phones, if I turned the music off, I'd get static. With the Transit, there is absolute silence. Other than that, I haven't noticed...

I'd tried connecting some low-end external cubes made by creative and it didn't work well- any time the receiver tried to put in some volume, the rec'r would sense an overload and switch off. I believe this roughly means that the rec'r sensed that the cubes couldn't handle the power and shut...

I'm looking -very- hard at the headroom Desktop Amp: http://www.headphone.com/products/he...esktop-amp.php combined with their power supply. That's something like a grand to go with my RS-1's. So the headphones will be less than the amp/supply. I already have a headroom Little amp...

err- no it doesn't make any sense. If it costs me $1400, that's -twice- what I paid for my rs-1's... Ps-1's aren't going to kill sales for the rs-1's at prices like that.

I've got an archos 220 and I won't be buying any more archos products. The battery life is ~4 hours and it, far too frequently (once per hour or so) skips and decides to shut down. That'd be tolerable, except that if you make a playlist, like calls it "AllRock", and it's got a couple...

I only got them for comfort and only had my 325i's for about a week before I put them on, so that plus not being familiar with all the adjectives about how to describe the sound, I'm a poor person to comment on them other than comfort. I have the beta with 4 ports and it sound good to me...
