I've seen that old model recommended a lot too, but I notice that it's more expensive used than its wireless version. I also read that the crossfade wireless 2 is a nice upgrade but it's still expensive so i should probably test a cheaper model first. ~$120 @ amazon marketplace for the crossfade...

I got the Skullcandy SLYR headphones a couple years ago dirt cheap ($25, used, without the mixer/accessories) after reading recommendations in the gaming headphones thread and they are my current favorite phones for listening to rap as well as for stuff with more vocals like Rilo Kiley and the...

Haven't been here in a while, but after spending nearly 2 years with the Skullcandy SLYR I'm starting to get that itch again. Is there anything in the current market with a similar sound signature but perhaps improved on the SLYR's shortcomings? I don't need a mic, but maybe something more...

Thanks for the responses, guys. I will definitely be going for the BT version with that new info. Now to try to find it under $200! The non-BT was interesting because they were going for around $100 used at one point (not any more). I'm kinda excited to get back in the big boy headphones club...

Is there a difference in sound quality between the WS99BT (wired) and the older WS99? Bluetooth connectivity is nice but I might go for the cheaper WS99 if the newer WS99BT sounds worse. I've searched a little bit for this comparison but nothing came up.

I'm on my third pair of ksc75's (others were broken and/or lost) and have been on this pair for a few years now and its lasted through my repairs and clip replacements. After taking off and putting them back on so many times the clip on the right barely grips the actual driver piece and i have...

OK, thanks for the info. I remember they used to get recommended as an all around phone for movies/games but I suppose I'd never heard of them being recommended for bass-heavy music. Maybe that was a long time ago when it was just the flavor of the month. With a few HD595's selling for less than...

It's been a while since I've last posted but since the headphones I've been wanting are now discontinued and somewhat cheaper, I thought I'd get back into my old hobby.   In recent years I've stuck to my KSC75's and my JVC in-ears (air cushions were discontinued so i picked up the bassy 101X...

I'm now considering building a Millett Starving Student Hybrid amp to get me started as the parts will probably come in quicker than if I order a pre-built chinese amp (unless there's a cheap reseller in the U.S.). Hope to provide some more comparisons after that.   Also, I'll try the...

So I just got the Denon D2000 today and have spent less than an hour with them.   To compare them with my DT 990, I have foobar2000 set up at max volume using ASIO out to my Fiio E7 and the only DSP enabled is PPHS Resampler set at 48kHz in Ultra Mode.   The E7 is also set at 0 bass...

Thanks for the info, I'm still shopping around for a suitable tube amp and may just settle on a chinese one off ebay or something.   After fiddling around with the E7, they are able to drive my DT 990s to a suitable volume without distortion if i turn down the internal volume on foobar2000...

Well I got impatient waiting for an answer and just pulled the trigger on some used D2000s from the sale/trade forum. Guess that's the best way to do it anyway.   Next step is getting a nice desktop amp. My Fiio does the job with the DT 990s and they might be enough for the D2000 but I just...

So after a few days of listening to these headphones, I'm loving how comfortable the velour pads really are. The excessive clamping force I was worried about and expecting is non-existent, even on my huge head! I haven't made any efforts to burn them in but briefly did a side by side comparison...

Quote:   I too, thought the HD280's were crazy good, and couldn't notice a difference when compared to my old roommate's MDR-V6. And then I got KSC75's and began to dislike the "sennheiser" veil (or whatever you want to call the lack of clarity in the upper freq range of the HD280 in...

I started my headphone journey a little over 10 years ago when I was searching the web for a good pair of DJ headphones. At the time, I couldn't afford the Sennheiser HD-25 II as I worked a summer job and spent most of my cash on my actual DJ setup (and lots of records). The next headphone that...
