On the surface it would appear that you went out of your way to defend an ecommerce giant with well known exploitative labor practices. While in reality, you just couldn't help but play the self-righteous Canadian card to perfection, while using a bank holiday that does not apply to my...

Ordered on the 26th, shipped on the 30th, and finally being delivered on the 2nd. How is that appropriate in 2015? Not my fault Amazon built a warehouse near Indianapolis and I live in Chicago. They don't want to undermine Prime and I don't know how that is acceptable to anyone.    I feel like...

  Apologies. 37 pages of mostly 50 talk so I just entered skim mode. Thanks for the measurements.    Quote:   The treble is starting to become an issue for me with some music. I can only EQ so much out of it. Just time to try something else. Kind of a stretch but whatever. They can go...

Apparently not a single human person owns the open 20's so of course I plunked down $130 on those. Probably could have achieved the same sound with an easily modded pair of 50's, and vice versa, - save $30. I'm an open fiend so I just couldn't bring myself to grab the 50. Seeing if these will...

I know it is a broken record - but it really is hard to beat the AD700 as a true all-around. They might not have the price and prestige of others mentioned here, but Ive been trying to find something to replace them for upwards of 3 years now, and I just cannot. I now work out of my home and...

Cannot imagine a situation where I would buy Bose headphones, but Ive always been a huge fan of their direct reflecting shelf speakers.   My father just got one of those wave radios, and I'm totally blown away by that. Size/sound ratio is unreal.

Quote: They truly look ridiculous. I bought them for the express purpose of public transportation, and while Im not really concerned with racking up style points anymore, I feel stupid wearing them in public.  

I just painted my AD700, and was thinking of tossing on some sleeving just for kicks. Does anyone know the size I would need, maybe 1/8"? Can anyone recommend a type and style, place to purchase?    thanks

Well, as an owner of the SRH840, I can tell you that they are god-awful for gaming and movies, as they should be. They are not even remotely made for that. But if you want another closed HP, that is often compared to HPs that are double or triple the price (original $200 MSRP), the SRH840 is a...

Under $200, the best open HP I have heard with low end bass in mind, is the HD595. Not much worse than the Shure SRH840. And you can keep the SS that you appreciate with an open can. I also noticed a decent improvement when on a dedicated amp, even one as simple as my PC soundcard. (X-fi forte)...

I had a girlfriend who went to LSU, and was not shy about showing her school spirit. And now I cannot stand those colors. Nice girl, but I had enough of that color scheme... So if I do end up going with the 700, I'm surely going to paint those purple earcup things a metal/gray color, to match...

Why cant they be black!!! I have a special hatred for gold and purple...and it is pushing me toward the AD900. And what is with the price of those? Seems to me that I saw them for $225 in early '09...

How much more are you willing to spend? Music only? I mean, the only thing that isn't way overpriced would be the HD555, which is advertised as a home theater HP. I know a lot of gamers swear by them. The HD595 can be had for around $100 less elsewhere. They have some Sony studio options...
