DT 770 PRO's for $100? Or alternatives?
What about the DT150's? They're supposed to be a straight upgrade from the DT770's and cost about the same. Also, if build quality is a concern; they're built like a Panzer. I'm considering buying a pair myself.- TomCo

Hi, I'm looking for a new pair of speakers (2.0/2.1) for my computer; mainly for games and music (industrial, alt-rock). I've been looking into various models in my price range for about a week now and I don't think I'm any closer to making a descision. I started off looking at regular...- TomCo

Repair HD497 or upgrade?
The cable on my HD497's packed in (got them on head-fi a while back, 3rd owner so they've had a good run) at the minijack end on the left earpiece. Apart from the clamping and slightly uncomfortable earpads I quite like them, quite inoffensive and a bit too laid back but decent enough I...- TomCo

I don't understand the use of Ruthenium in the casing. What did they do, coat it in the stuff?- TomCo

HD-565, what are they worth?
Hi, Im watching a pair of HD-565's on ebay in what looks like very good condition with original documentation. Out of idle boredom I bid a dollar above the current bid, looks like the previous bidder probably did the same because now I'm the highest bidder! They're currently at €26 with an...- TomCo
