My sincere sympathies.  The love lives on.

Consider the UE Triple-fis.  You can generally find them on the for sale/trade forum for $100 or so.  As long as you get a good seal, they isolate great have awesome sound quality for the money -- punchy bass and sparkling highs,  I've also found them to be very rugged and can take a lot of...

I'm in need of another portable headphone amp since my Little Dot Micro+ is MIA and have always yearned for better EQ control when using my iPhone. I just ordered mine from sharperimage.com. I'm really excited to hear what this will do.

IMHO the HFI-780's are not very comfy. Maybe I've got a big head, but they were really tight. I've owned the D2000's and still own the HD650's...both are very comfortable. The 650's are not basshead cans but very musical from lowest thumps to tinkliest highs. They are without a doubt the best...

I've got the Senn HD 238's...they're open, but the 228 are the comparable closed cans. They 238's are VERY comfortable and sound great. The 228's are only $55 on Amazon.

I bought a pair of Denon D2000's a few years ago (post). I was very unimpressed with them because I couldn't get enough volume for my old ears. Shortly after, I bought a pair of HD650's and retired the Denon's to the closet. Tonight I decided to pull then Denon's out and give them another...

Thanks, Golden Monkey, I may be in contact with you. I want to do a little more reasearch before I buy, but I'll definitely be being in the next week or so. I appreciate all the opinions you and other Head-fi'ers are offering. Quote: Originally Posted by Golden Monkey Yeah, Little Dot...

I just bought a Little Dot Micro+ portable amp to take to work. I've read that it's simply s so/so amp...I've gotta say, I'm blown away by what a difference it makes. My DT990's never sounded so good!! I can't wait get a better amp for home use to see what a "good one" can do. Quote...

I have the DT880s and I agree that they are incredibly comfortable. My office is kinda noisy, so I really need to use cans that provide some isolation. Based on everything I've read, it seems that Denon D2000's are going to be my answer. I really appreciate everyone sharing their opinions!

I have a pair of DT880s. [pics]. Does anyone know how to tell if they are the 250 ohm or 600 ohm version?

I'm looking for something to wear at work. Right now I'm using some Senn HD497's. They are nice and light, but get hot after a while and the sound quality is certainly lacking. I need something that's easy to take on and off so IEM's are probably out. What do you recommend that will be...

The 880s are really a great headphone. They are bright, but not nearly so much as something like the Grado 325s or Ultrasone HFI-780s. The isolation on them is a lot better than I expected with a semi-open can.

I recently bought the Beyerdynamic DT990s. IMO they are the best sounding dynamic headphones I've ever heard (with proper amplification).

In that price range, the Ultimate Ears Super-fi 5 Pro's are sure to please. Lots of isolation and detail.
