Whats also the case is that if I tap on/flick the left headphone inner-metal-plating, it does not make this metallic sound, as it seems to be supported by some sort of foam.  

Yes i tried them with other sources and got the same thing.     I actually made a little discovery - I took the pad off of them and tapped on the metal plating inside, and it made the exact sound that I'm talking about.  It seems some transient/percussive audio causes this metal plating in...

Hey Ultrasone Pro 750 users My new 750's (just received from amazon last week) are doing something weird:   You know the mac os x volume sound? like when you turn volume up and down on the keyboard of a macbook pro? When I hear that sound in these headphones, it's like there's this little...

Are there ANY dac/amp combos that can drive AKG 70x's well with some added bass for balance??   I'm looking for like a price around $250

ahh i see :)   thanks again for engaging in this discussion and helping me out.    I hear that grados are great headphones with "pop" but good balance, is that true? would you recommend any pairs in my case? and if so, what would they be paired with? I'm very attracted to their aesthetic...

Quote:   Thanks for the reply Elanzer!! so legit and helpful.  the NFB-12 seems very talked about and legit and that combination fits right into my price range.    I was wondering what you thought about these combos:   AKG k70x + Little dot MKIII + macbook pro onboard dac   OR...
