Quote: I have um2's but i can comment on the cable. It is pretty good for stock, but I've found that it gets really easily tangled in my pocket. I've used it while running and biking, and have heard no microphonics. I have a chris himself cable, and I'd say it's for sure worth it to upgrade...

Quote: I first bought the 770s without the intention of using an amp, running them straight out of my macbook sounded very satisfactory. However, when the Schiit magni/modi were announced, I felt obligated to purchase the stack. I was very close at one point to buying the odac/02 combo, but...

Correction he pulled it out of his ear, not sure if it was because the seal was not right or he didn't need to listen to the track, in any case i got a ss of it, not the best quality but you can see the ciem.  .  Also lol at the guy picking his nose, handles it pretty smooth if you ask me. 

Was watching Jimmy Fallon and Justin Timberlake was the performer. One of his ciem's came out while he was singing, couldn't tell who the manufacturer was, but it was skin color with a clear removable cable. Let me see if I can get a screen cap.

Quote: I do not know from personal experience, but judging by the reviews I've read of the 380s they look like pretty good phones. If you do decide to buy the beyers, it will be an upgrade as far as the low frequencies go, they really can't be beat, but unless you get a quality dac/amp the...

Quote: As it should be done. Like I said, go for the beyers man, you will not be disappointed and I'm pretty sure you can find a brand new pair on ebay for ~150usd, which is a steal.   Casper are your 770s actually green? or is the lighting, either way those are some dope pictures...

Quote: Not exactly sure what they meant by that, I've found that while the bass is definitely more present in the 770s, by no means does it feel overpowering, or bleed into mids/highs. I even have Foobar eq'd for extra bass, and the beyers handle it extremely well, with still no...

Quote: I am not sure about "competitive gaming" or anything like that, but I use my dt 770s when I'm playing tf2 and I can hear everything I need to. If you are solely looking for gaming phones, then maybe a pair of surround sound gaming cans would suffice. But if you are also going to be...

Quote: If you want more bass texture/volume go for the 80, if you want more treble/better mids then get the 250. The benefit of the 80 ohm version is that it does not necessarily need an amp, however it does sound much better with one. From what I understand, the 250 pretty much requires...

Quote: I remember getting my first ipod (3rd gen) the one with 4 buttons, still my favorite. But the earphones that came with those hurt my ears so much, I'm pretty sure I immediately got some Sony iem's that I still have today, don't even know what model they are, but they were going for...

Looks excellent man, enjoy your tunes

Saw a couple people with at m50s, was a pleasant surprise since all I had seen before was beats and ibuds.

Quote: I have the 80 ohm version and I was running them out of my computer which has a no-name Chinese sound card. I bought the M&M stack and I noticed immediately the overall improvement a good dac/amp makes. The way I can describe it best, it sounds like there is more everything, and I...

 I just got my um2s and I'm very satisfied with how they are performing. After messing around with all of the included tips, it seems that the best bass performance comes from the modified bi-flanges. I've been walking around all day with these and have heard no evidence of microphonics. These...
