Awesome! Thanks for the help.

Just got the MD/ Fostex T-X0 planar Magnetics and they are power hungry. My Leckertron UHA6 just can’t give them enough power. Looking to spend less than $300. Browsed the Schiit website but didn’t know if I should go tube or not. Thanks in advance!

M3 good for the Fostex t50rp?

Thanks for all the suggestions guys....Especially James-UK. Even though it is indeed a first world problem, I feel like the cables are just not flexible. I'll give em a good soak in some Nivea and report back. 

I just got the HD650's and I absolutely hate the cable. It is too long and very stiff. Also, the 1/4" plug means that I have to use the adapter for pretty much everything I have. Any recommendations for a decent replacement cable that doesnt cost as much as the headphones themselves? Thanks in...

Bose mie2i are great for the gym. They WILL NOT fall out.

Thanks for the advice on the M50s and rock. I should take a better look at the Grados. Not sure why they are not on my list!

Gonna order a new pair of headphones this weekend. Might at as well take advantage of the memorial day sales. What I should I get? I listen to rock and alt. rock primarily. I do like my bass but not crazy mudd low. I already have DT770 Pro's and Pioneer HDJ-2000. I use the Leckerton UHA-6sMkII...

I wasn't happy with the audio quality of the e17. I don't know what it was but I just felt like it wasnt right. I do understand how impedance works but I didn't realize how much power the DT770s would require. They sounded good with the Leckerton but there still wasn't alot of headroom so I...

Bose MIE2i /end thread. Best headphones I have ever used for working/running/jogging/weightlifting and anything really. These things will not fall out and are very comfortable. They sound pretty damn good too. Worth the money IMHO.

Thanks for the great review! I just ordered the RC set based on your results. I listen to the same type of music as you so Im expecting to be quite satisfied with them. I have a Leckterton UHA-6s mkii to pair with them. 

I recently tried the same combo and felt that the DT770s needed more power. I ended up selling the E17. I bought lekerton uha-6s mk.II and there still isnt enough headroom. The 250ohm is alot to drive. Looks like i may do some more amp shopping...

Quote: Wow..The Pioneer's impedance is 36 ohms and that makes all the difference in the world with the Leckerton. Now, with the gain off, I can crank the volume to max and they are quite loud. If I use the gain switch, I can only turn the volume up to 55% or so. The Leckerton really does...

Ended up getting a sweet deal on some Pioneer HDJ-2000 cans so I'm going to give em a try this weekend. Maybe the lower ohm impedance will give me some additional headroom.

To the OP, how about an update? How did your brother like his gift???
