    Shootout: 114 Portable Headphones Reviewed (Xiaomi Mi Headphones added 04/21/2015)

    I was leaning towards the Phiaton headphone, I'll probably give both the MS300 and MS400 a shot and see which one sticks. Thanks both of you!

    Shootout: 114 Portable Headphones Reviewed (Xiaomi Mi Headphones added 04/21/2015)

    joker, have you listened to the Denon AH-D2000 before? I'm looking to find a portable headphone that has a similar sound signature. Speaking specifically in those headphones that fall into Tier A. Your comparison has been massively helpful in aiding my search.

    Replacing D2000 With Something Smaller

    Hi there,   I love my Denon D2000. They've been great headphones, probably my favorite ones I've owned. There are two problems though... they're heavy and they're large. Heavy headphones can be stressful on the neck and when you where them often this can be a problem. Large because I'm on...

    The Post and Math Rock appreciation thread.

    Thanks for the ASIWYFA recommendation. They're very good and have a distinct sound which is always welcome in the post rock world. The recording quality of their latest album sounds tremendous.

    PC to Mac: My Not-So-Genius Switch

    A Windows system could easily be just as easy to use from the start if OEMs would not ruin the experience from the start. Honest. Microsoft makes some tremendously good software that is absolutely free but never gets preloaded because Microsoft won't pay the OEMs to do so. Much of the price on a...

    June of 44 is amazing.   Battles... I'm incredibly conflicted with this band. Let's just say I think Tyondai Braston's "vocals" ruins the band for me.

    LeBron to announce decision in one-hour ESPN special

    Wade v. Bryant: I would give Kobe the edge in his array of scoring options. Kobe has a post game, a decent perimeter game and when needed a great slashing game. Wade is a tremendous slasher but lacks the post game and is slightly worse from outside. Wade however is a much better passer and I'd...

    LeBron to announce decision in one-hour ESPN special

    Artest contains James? Huh? No, no way. Artest barely contained Paul Pierce, who is now old and even at his peak is 70% of James. Wade is better than Bryant, Wade is MUCH better than Bryant when Wade has another person commanding a double team. Gasol > Bosh? Maybe, I think in terms of defense...

    LeBron to announce decision in one-hour ESPN special

    Really? Because in my opinion you'd be singing a completely different tune if the Lakers lost.

    LeBron to announce decision in one-hour ESPN special

    Quote: You're right about Florida not having the income tax, however with Beasley gone Miami could now offer James, Wade and Bosh all max contracts. They were just barely away from it previously. I think they all 3 still take a bit less money to help create a better supporting cast.  ...

    LeBron to announce decision in one-hour ESPN special

    LeBron James is taking less money than he could have made anywhere else to play with the two players he wanted to play with the most. The money from "The Decision" is going to charity. He played his heart out for Cleveland for 7 years even when it was obvious that the owner and front office had...

    I can see the reference to Kraftwerk. I just can't get into a band that uses so much electronics. It puts a very large barrier between me and emotional attachment with the song, which is what I always look for in music. Otherwise it's just a nice collection of assorted sounds.

    Mac user...needing a recommendation on how to "blend" or "spice" itunes songs?

    When you say "blend" and "remix" what exactly do you have in mind? iTunes has support for playlists which allow you to select songs you want of various artists or albums and have them play back in a sequence.   If you want more control and to physically change the sound such as fading tracks...

    ATH-M50 and ATH-M50S identical other than cable?

    Quote: See... I strongly disagree. I've owned two headphones with a coiled cord. Even when sitting down at a desk the weight of the coiled cable was very annoying. When walking around with a DAP it would drive me nuts. Cables are generally coiled for studio purposes actually.

    ATH-M50 and ATH-M50S identical other than cable?

    They should be the same. I haven't seen a source that suggests otherwise. The cables likely reach to the same length but the amount of pressure you're going to experience with a pulled coil cable is likely to be very annoying. In my experience coiled cables on headphones are very annoying, the...
