To everyone that replied to my posts and contributed to this thread, thank you got the advice.  I've just ordered a pair from Focus Camera (via Amazon).  I'm sure I will enjoy them.    

Cadmito - did you get the DT990 Pro 250 ohm all black version?  If they came with a straight cord, where did you get them?  I want a straight cord but the Focus Camera site says they are coiled.  I've emailed Focus Camera and Beyer for clarification but do not expect to hear from them for a few...

I have a pair of Alessandro MS1 and was thinking of upgrading to and MS2. However, at $150 the DT990 Pro 250 ohm Pro (Black edition) is half the cost of the MS2.  Would the DT990 be an improvement over the MS1? And how would the DT990 compare to the MS2? I primarily listen to older rock (Yes...

I just ordered a pair on ebay for less than $100 delivered (US). I have not received them yet but they seem to get very good reviews most places I've checked.

Can anyone tell me where the real ES7 is made? Thanks

Can anyone tell me where the AH-D1001 and Creative Aurvana Live are made? Thanks

I'm using a set of MS1 with my Dell laptop without an external amp and think they are great. My biggest problem now is trying to find a portable set that won't disappoint me since the MS1s are so good. They are worth saving up if you can wait. Good luck.

I usually lurk (learn) until I find an answer, which is why I got the MS1 a few years ago. Now I need help because this thread is so darn long. I'm looking for closed or open fold-flat portables, more compact than the MS1, that will not disappoint me after becoming so fond of the sound of my...

T-Jax, I've been wondering the same thing, especially since players I look at locally is secured from the back so the origin can not be read. I ran into the same problem while digital camera shopping. I also prefer non-Chinese goods for many reasons well beyond the scope of a Head-Fi forum...

TAF94, The reason I found your post is because I was looking for feedback on the sl-ct720. I'm looking for a pdcp as well and my local Circuit City (CC) has the sl-ct720 on clearance for $55. I did not see the sl-ct720 on-line so you'll probably have to check stores. Do you kow for...

I had pretty much decided on the SR80 until reading posts about the MS1. My ears seem to be more sensitive to highs,I usually turn the treble down bass up just a little. I've decided on the SR80 over the SR60 for the lower bass. My questions are: 1. Would the MS1 have the same or better bass...

Why it would not be recommended to use the K240 Studio with a receiver and what should I be aware of regarding high output impedance? For my Onkyo receiver I find no specifications regarding the headphone output of my receiver, nor are there any recommendations regarding headphone use. Regarding...

Thanks for the warm welcome and all your replies, I really appreciate the feedback. I have read some reviews in which one side of the phones cut out. Has anyone heard about this? I'm leaning toward the AKGs and that is the only concern.

I am trying to determine which of these would be as good as the Koss Pro4AA I had around 25 years ago. I now have a modest Onkyo TX8011 receiver and will have an Onkyo DX-C390 in a few weeks. All the listed go for about the same price and have received good reviews so I need some help. I like...
