Best closed headphones for Burson 160DS
Very simple answer. Because I paid one third of the amount you mention for the Burson. And as I said, the $300 max for headphones is not a "written-in-stone max" it can vary if the product is worth it.- rocMcBan

Best closed headphones for Burson 160DS
I am looking at getting new headphones for my office to replace/complement a pair of Technics RP-DH1200. Closed headphones are a must, this is a open space office shared with a few coworkers. Therefore no sound leakage accepted. Cans will be fed by a Burson 160DS, so I am thinking about...- rocMcBan

Schiit Stack (MM) or Asus Xonar Essence One for Technics RP-DH1200
Hello Everyone, Being in the hunt for a new DAC/Head amp for my office, I was wondering how does the Magni-Modi combo from Schiit compare with the Asus Essence One (regular edition, not the Muses, then the price diff would become too important) ? In my neck of the woods, after all is said and...- rocMcBan

Asus Essence One Headphone Amp/DAC (CeBIT 2011)
How does the E1 compare with the Magni-Modi combo from Schiit ? In my neck of the woods, after all is said and done, I am only looking at about $100 dollars difference.

Bombproof headphones with good bass recommendation.
An update on the V-Modas, a few months after getting them: The headphones are holding very well, and the owner is still very happy. On the plus sides, he stands out in the sea of beats around him. the build quality appears very good. Maybe the most intelligent thing is the...- rocMcBan

Bombproof headphones with good bass recommendation.
Thanks to all who replied. LP2s have been ordered yesterday evening. Custom shields with an image of a yugioh blue eyes white dragon will be ordered this weekend after we find a suitable image to upload on the v-moda site. Malevolent, I am using the DH1200 at work, they are readily...- rocMcBan

Bombproof headphones with good bass recommendation.
Punks15, Ouch for the sticker price for the HD25 ... Indeed my only option would be a used one, I'll keep it in mind. New, my son'll have to get only A++++ like Lisa Simpson before I spend that much on headphones. Another question that pops after looking at both V-moda offerings and...- rocMcBan

Bombproof headphones with good bass recommendation.
Thanks Pasta Chief. IIRC, it is around ear that he wants, and indeed the LP2 look better and better. In fact, I misstyped in my previous post, I had LP2s in mind but in the synapse towards the keyboard it got changed in to M-80.- rocMcBan

Bombproof headphones with good bass recommendation.
Could someone please recommend some headphones for my 13yo son. They should have good bass, and above all, be bombproof as he is quite rough on his gear. Sound quality (outside of bass) is relatively important but comes second to sturdiness, he already broke a few pairs by sitting on them...- rocMcBan
