Liked, Liked, Shared.  Super excited!!

I can as well!  Unfortunately, from what I've read around the forums, the Pioneers have nice mids, but highs and lows are lacking.  Other than that, I haven't heard much about them, other than the build quality is quite good.  :(  Anyone else?

True, but I wouldn't know.  I read somewhere on the forums that Kicker supposedly re-engineered some "expensive German/European headphones" and put the drivers into their headphones, but then again everything now is hearsay.

I'd just like to point out one things.   The Monoprice headphones that look exactly the same as the Kicker HP541's have different speaker drivers, at least that's what I've heard from Kicker reps.  54mm vs. 50 mm, and 107 dB vs. 100 dB, for Kickers and Monoprice respectively

Haha, thanks a bunch, you're the only person so far that has recommended me anything.  And should I be trusting sellers off of eBay when it comes to headphones?  Especially if they're being shipped "from Hong Kong"?  

  So I'm extremely new to the forums, and I can't say I'm much of an audiophile as I'm relatively new to the scene of headphones.  Anyways, I've always wanted to have a combination of a pair of open headphones for home/studio use, as I hear the sound stage is usually much larger and it's more...

I've actually heard that too, but I don't have $150-200 to drop on experimentally good SKs :(

Quote:   And I didn't talk about any headphones that I thought "sounded bad", or didn't have a detacheable cable feature either.  Again, providing just one brand to someone doesn't really help the OP... ;)   The fact you would recommend Skullcandy at all gives me the shivers.

Don't really think anyone should limit themselves to one brand.  That's just foolish.

I would try the less well-known Kicker HP541's.  I have them, and they fit my budget (around $50 plus shipping), collapsible, 50mm+ speaker drivers, comes with two cable lengths/sizes + 6.3mm adapter.  I'm not much of an audiophile, but I can tell you that the emphasis is on the bass, as Kicker...
