    HD600 cable upgrade (NewFantasia 1.5 meter)

    Hey hey hey,   I am a producer and just purchased the Sennheiser HD600 for mixing and mastering as it was available for a decent price on amazon. When doing studio work with my DT770s, I find myself constantly running over the chord with the chair at the mixing console. After further research...

    Best set of cans under $150?

    So I just received my XPT100s today, and I am pretty impressed, although they sound pretty tight. I will have to let them break in a bit before I develop an opinion...

    Old 'phones: Koss Pro-4a. Anyone have any info?

    I just picked up a set of these for $9 at a Goodwill store. I couldnt resist the price. It will be interesting to see how they sound with a Mont Blanc and I am going to try to find new earpads if theyre worth it...

    Best set of cans under $150?

    Maybe I mis-read something... I think I will still be happy with the purchase. Soundstage is not my selling point, the quality of the sound is what matters to me. So with that considered, I think its a good can for me to add to my collection, especially for the price.

    Best set of cans under $150?

    Thank you all for the great responses. I think I will go with the XPT100s. I hear that they have a really great soundstage for a closed can. It will be interesting to compare them to my K550s... I purchased them from Sonix and they were $99 which I am fine with paying.   I was looking at the...

    Need help!

    I do listen to quite a bit of electronic, but not much EDM. I think I will cross them off because of the over-emphasized bass... How are the v6s different from the prodj100s?

    Need help!

    I need help in deciding which set of cans to get. My current options are the MDR-V6/7506, T50rp, NVX Audio XPT100, Crossfade LP, and SE215. I listen to jazz, ambient, house, IDM, classical, hip-hop, and folk.   Let me know what you think.

    Best set of cans under $150?

    Would it be worth getting the m50s with the velour beyerdynamic pads?

    Best set of cans under $150?

    Maybe even the Brainwavs HM5 or the NVX Audio XPT100. Both of which I have read decent reviews on.

    Best portable amp under 150?

    Thank you for those links, those were a great help. I decided to go with the E12 Mont Blanc, because it will have ample power for my 250 ohm Beyerdynamics.   Troy

    Thinking of modding a set of Koss PortaPro instead of buying more expensive cans... Recommendations?

    Im thinking of modding a set of Koss PortaPros instead of purchasing something a bit more expensive such as the Beyer DT770s or K701/K702/Q701. Any suggestions on headphones that may be a better option on mod recommendations would be greatly appreciated. I listen to jazz, IDM, ambient...
