I'm glad to know I'm not alone!  Those look promising although I can't find much information on whether or not the mic is 3-button and whether or not it is compatible with Android (my understanding is that it's either built according to Apple's standard or the one Android uses, which makes it...

Hi guys,   I've spent literally years trying to find a product that fits my needs but these days it seems like it's impossible to find.  I am looking for a quality set of earbuds that are NOT in-ear that also support a 3-button mic for Android phones.  It seems the entire market has moved...

Quote: Thanks, I will look those up.  I have no problems with the HD598 sound but I think I am weird because I do have problems wearing them over long periods of time even though I can acknowledge they are considered one of the, if not the most, comfortable headphones ever.  I think my...

It does sound like the ATH-A900X are a complete upgrade to the M50's for my usage in terms of sound but a lot of people said they are uncomfortable.  I've never used one of the wing system phones before.  

I decided to get a pair of decent headphones for office work.  I use HD598's at home and enjoy them, although I do get some clamping pain unlike most people.   Here's what I need:   1.  Closed 2.  A respectable amount of sound leakage (co-workers are about 15 feet from me through a...

Hmm, I have never thought about the dimensions of my head.  I've always just considered it "roundish." :)  I guess I'll check out some youtube reviews of these bumps since it seems you are saying that the Q701, in your experience, is straight up better than the HD598.  Thanks!

Yeah, my main concern is upgrading my comfort.  My fear with this kind of thing is that I can never tell in a store by putting on a pair of headphones for 30 seconds unless they were designed to be a medieval torture device.  I dislike the clamping on the HD598 too, but it seems like you don't...

I currently use the Xonar Essence STX and the HD598 for PC gaming.  Despite popular opinion, my head seems to dislike the fit of the HD598 (I've tried clamping them tight and really loose, but I always seem to get some serious physical fatigue on my head after 30 minutes to an hour and have to...

While I love my HD598's, I am in the minority of people whom for some reason finds them uncomfortable.  I don't know what it is about my head or if it is just headphones in general, but they become uncomfortable after awhile, and I always feel much better when I take them off...

Hi all,   I'm thinking of upgrading my sound.  I would say I use my headphones at least 80% for gaming.  Right now I use a Xonar DX (Dolby Headphone) --> HD595.   I was thinking of trying the ATH-AD900 or the RS 180.  I really really like the idea of finally going wireless, does anyone...

I use Vista, so I'm back to KS with Foobar. Sounds fine.

If it does the same things as my Xonar DX (dolby + eax simulation option) then I would be very interested in upgrading to these, if only because they have separate line-out and headphone-out jacks. I feel like this is never mentioned, but I use both. I live in an apartment, so late at night I...

bump; if this is the wrong forum for this post can a mod please move it? thanks.
