    Quote:   He's right - but I'd go for the CAL!. It depends on your ears though (the CAL! are small) if you have big ears it can be uncomfortable...

    Quote:   Large soundstage don't come with the Alessandro's until the Pro, and even then you'd want to perform the Ms-Pro Ultimate mod (using Spacers to use the GS1000 headpads).   I'd be leaning towards the HD600, but that's because I haven't heard the HE-400...

    Quote:   Creative Aurvana Live are pretty good for gaming - see the gaming headphones thread as well - might get some other opinions there.   Samson are also good if you're ready to mod them...

    Can-con 2 (Sydney 2012) Meet Aug 18th 3:30 to 8:30pm (near Epping station)

    If everything goes right and the stars align - I could bring the Coco Magnum V3's I just bought as well as the O2 + ODAC combo I just bought as well :)   Don't put down as a yes though - it's still too early to tell for me...   A bit OT: but if someone brings a  mini XLR 4 Pin (with two...

    Humble Bundle + other indie bundles thread

    Just reminding everyone that the current groupee bundle is ending in ~2 hours! So you better hurry! Syberia and Oddworld for ~$4 is more than worth it; everything else imo is a nice bonus :) - http://groupees.com/bemine3   The only sad thing for me is that Postal 2 is only on desura and not...

    High End iPhone IEMs

    Make sure you use a LOD cable with the iphone - the headphone jack is horrible! Of course if you need the mic and volume controls you're forced to use the port :(

    Quote: What he said. Best bang for buck you'll ever get for an amp/odac combo.

    Quote:   Audio-Technica ATH-M50s is the best one easily.   Lots of bass for you, and its ~$140USD @ amazon I think.   So now you have some money left over to upgrade GPU (Pick a 7850), buy diablo 3 etc.

    I'd grab the d5000 ehile theyre still availale (check the deals thread) and then do some modding :) or actually, take apart the earcups and see if you just need to resolder the wire. Saves you money :) Otherwise the dt990 is probably your best bet .

    Quote:   Bowl pads + anti-aging cream + padding for headband + different glasses frame.   Problem solved, plus keeping those headphones. The bowls will probably improve your hearing experience (the anti-aging was a joke BTW, see how you spelled ears in the quote).   Quote:  ...
