Sorry to bump this up, but I have the same problem. I have Windows Ultimate x64, and its not working for me. I was using onboard sound with a optical cable to the emu for a while. But I want to start recording again, so I need the usb. I install the drivers, and it seems to work fine, but then I...

Got them today. Burning in right now, but so far they are fantastic.

Listened to it last night, and a couple times since. I like it, a lot.

Hey, I just ordered a pair from headroom last week. How different are they from the SRH440s? I really loved the 440s that I heard, so are the SRH840s anything like the 440s?

home: Computer(lossless files) -> emu 0404usb -> HD580 ~$300 if you have a computer and lossless files Portable: PMP(lossless files) -> cmoy -> PX100 ~$70 if you have the pmp

I use firefox. I like it, but I mainly use it because it is what I have used forever. I have been using it pretty much since I started using the internet, which is when it came out. I have recently been thinking about trying out chrome though.

Well, I'm really looking forward to Spoon's new CD that's coming out in January, and I am really excited for Vampire Weekend's contra which comes out a week from Tuesday. I am also looking forward to a new Shins' album, which is rumored. Also, after reading through the thread, I am excited for a...

I have heard the Shure SRH440 many times. I definitely think they are worth the price. I was considering buying them, but actually just bought their bigger brothers because I had the money for them. The 440s are excellent phones, especially for the price. Also, I just noticed your avatar, and I...

Im sorry, I have not heard the HD201, but I recommend you check out the Shure SRH440s. I have heard them, and think they are absolutely wonderful for under $100. What kind of music do you mainly listen to? And will these be for home or portable use?

It depends what you are looking for. If you are using it for portable use, look at closed headphones like the Shure SRH840s or IEMs like the Etymotic ER4P. It also depends what kind of sound you like. All the ones you listed are excellent, but sound very different. As you know Grados (or...

I actually tried some of the Bose noise canceling headphones in best buy today. The noise canceling was the only good thing about it. I have to say though, bose knows how to advertise. They have a speaker with white noise to show how good the noise canceling is. And, they have a screen telling...

Just ordered them from Headroom for $159. Cant wait to hear them!

I use Yuin PK3 if I am on the roads, and I use Senn CX300 if I am on paths. They both sound fine, and are cheap enough that if anything happened to them, I wouldnt be upset at all. EDIT: Yes, people should wear helmets while bike riding. I as in a car accident last year, not from biking, but...
