    Looking for over-ear headphones in the $200-$400 range (bass heavy)

    OK, so I just tried the Bowers and Wilkins P7.    Is it me, or do all over the ear headphones sound a bit hollow? It's very hard to describe, but my beats sound like they're right next to my ears, and every set of over ear headphones that I try sound as if I'm listening to them through a metal...

    Looking for over-ear headphones in the $200-$400 range (bass heavy)

    So, I tried the V-Moda's, and while they were definitely heavy on bass, they sounded a bit hollow to me. It's very hard to explain, but they just didn't do it for me. Very close, though.    OK, so those went back. Now, I'm going to try the 900i and the undisputed king of bass - the JVC...

    How do you feel about the 900i? They are more expensive than the 900's for sure, though.

    Looking for over-ear headphones in the $200-$400 range (bass heavy)

      I'm really just looking for a set of cans that can match the bass of the beats in the over-ear variety (sound quality does matter, yes). I tried the over ear version of the beats, and it just didn't do it for me. I think I may have received a bad pair, as the bass in the left was...

    Looking for over-ear headphones in the $200-$400 range (bass heavy)

    Hey guys,    I'm currently using the Beats Solo Wireless headphones, and I am really loving the bass and sound, but not the comfort. I've been using these headphones for over a year now, but they're starting to hurt my ears over long sessions (my ears are starting to get sores).    So, I'm...

    Looking for Bluetooth headphones that can give me a good amount of bass

    Hey guys,   For a few years now, I've been using the Bose on-ear headphones (http://www.amazon.com/Bose-On-Ear-Headphones-Discontinued-Manufacturer/dp/B002LK2QJK?)   These have been discontinued, but that's OK because mine still work perfectly.   I'm always working downstairs in my shop...

    Rode Podcaster recording levels

    So I just started doing some recording with this microphone and was wondering if anyone could tell me what level you have your microphone set to under windows?   If I choose a level around 50, it seems to give me  some good results, but seems somewhat quiet. If I go lower I'll need to eat...

    Ebay - The Source of All Evil (?)

    My experience with Ebay has been quite nice actually.   My very first sell was a $2000 item. Keep in mind I had absolutely NO feedback. The first buyer was the winning bidder but after the sale, backed out. So I re-listed the item and offered the other bidder a second chance offer. He agreed...

    Audio editing

    I have a VERY unusual request.   As a child I used to watch sci-fi movies all the time. I even used to watch movies from the 50's and 60's like Forbidden Planet and When Worlds Collide.   My question is regarding a movie called "The last StarFighter". It's an 80's sci-fi movie. There are...

    Not happy with my K702's

    Very good explanation. Appreciate the info. Yes, I do enjoy my Bose and will continue to do so. If I happen to come across another set of cans that I really enjoy much better, I will purchase them without a hiccup no matter what brand they might be.   I do enjoy clarity. The K702's were VERY...

    Not happy with my K702's

    As I said in my original post, I could definitely tell the difference between the Bose and the 702's.   The 702's were far more clear and precise. The bass was probably spot on and where it's actually supposed to be. However, I found it just lacking in that department. I have been listening...

    Not happy with my K702's

    I know that some people here do not like Bose headphones, mainly because they are overpriced.   However, I just have to say that it ultimately comes down to what I prefer, doesn't it?   I have no doubt that with proper amplification the K702's will sound as they are intended. However, my...

    Not happy with my K702's

    Before I begin I just wanted to say that, no, I have not burned them in for 100 hours or more.   However, I don't believe they are going to give me so much better sound after 100 hours that I'll change my mind.   I purchased the E7/E9 combo to power them, and to be honest they sounded...

    Listening to the E7/E9 combo together

    Thanks for all the answers guys. That pretty much answers every question I had about the combo.   I was going to buy the E9 by itself and save some money, but I'm glad I got the combo instead.

    Listening to the E7/E9 combo together

    Perhaps I should make myself a bit clearer without sounding like a total idiot. Then perhaps you'll answer again without making me feel like one.   The only reason I ask is because, in theory, you wouldn't even need the E7 connected at all to listen, which is why I asked. Some people buy the...
