Phelps was wearing Sol Republic.   As to the comfort, dont worry about it. Mine was horiblefor several monts, now they feel great. Just takes some time.

anybody see phelps sol republics? Which came first, the pioneer or the republics....forget about the dre. These babies were def copied from sol republic, haha...though sol did it better.

dang I had no idea you guys were still posting. Personally I hate the white, but whatever....not going to touch it myself. the reason I posted today....I dropped them full head height, smack dab flat on the concrete, well drivers a split second early, then flat. You can barely see a few small...

hey, sorry, its too late to give a really good in depth response right now. However, I did want to say that I must of misread or misremembered something. I could have sworn that somewhere on a usa site it said that it came with a case. If not, then I guess that apple in-line mic makes all the...

dude, if you almost spoodged on vivaldi, listen to River Monsters season 4 episode 2. Obviously a completely different beast, but freaking awesome stuff. Like being in a movie theater.

Well, some initial impressions from me.   I got the Japanese version of the MJ751 yesterday. The differences in the two are- 1. No apple certified mic or control. 2. No carrying case. 3. No Steez branding. The case would have been super. But those are the three reasons why my particular...

hey... What do you guys think. I ordered some Japanese pioneer steez 808....will do some comparisons in store when they arrive, but I see a couple sellers selling the akg k450 for about 10 dollars more, so about 6100 (76ish USD) yen. However, they are all no name company's, but all fulfilled...

we just got some company at the house, but I wanted to say, holy cow man! that was awesome! I def went for the 751 after those reviews (also helped that amazon lowered the price via amazon store to 5409) but that was incredible. Very well done and complete analysis. I may not be as competent as...

update:its taking too much time hunting...so, i am going to go ahead and buy the 751 tomorrow morning online. Checks all my boxes it can without putting them on, particularly the idea that they will last much longer with detachable cable. The mj541 sounded acceptable, so with the good feedback...

not to be argumentative, but they actually did drop to 99 a couple days ago. same day japan dropped to 6,000, but it is basck up to 6350 on amazn now. I can still get it in time with some other online shops for 5500....so about 69 dollars. a good deal, i can do amazon myself, have to have my...

Well, this is just my opinion, and i could be way off of what other people are hearing, and even from what I determine tomorrow when I plan to hit up some outlet stores and hunt down a pair of es55 real cheap if i get lucky.   But, my amateur analysis of a few cans:   I focused on these...

will do, plans rechanged, wont be until monday now, at best...dang..

Well, you sound like the man to ask, and it might help the OP, so I am going to throw it out at you.   How important is the aluminum casing in the ws55 and es55 vs something like the se-mj751 which is, as far as I can tell, all plastic casing?.    In one direction I am leaning toward the...

I am new to all of this, and I have seen evidence of what you mean. However, as one element in the overall picture, I think it is worth factoring in and being aware of. Is it not?

according to audio technica the 55 and 55i are the same except for the Mic and ipod compatible cord. I have only seen one UK random review to suggest otherwise, linked to about 100 times. Everything points to the m50 being n increase in class of headphones. Should be better, all reviews agree...
