First of all, thanks for the feedback, much appreciated.   I am reasonably confident that its not bias, I will do a blind test with my wife tonight to confirm (:   With my older Bose On-ear headphones, all I could tell was that the macbook pro seems to sound better. With my...

To my ears my macbook pro has markedly better bass response than my iphone. It has gotten me wondering what the difference actually is, ie is the iPhone bass response cut, or is the macbook boosted, or am I imagining it? (:   I am wondering how I would go about working out what the technical...

I have noticed, as is the same for my last "supra-aural" earphones, that positioning is important.   I have also done some comparison between listening through my iPhone 4 vs through my 2011 Macbook Pro. In a song such as Diana Krall's Devil May Care, the bass is clear on both the iPhone and...

I am sure the OP is technically correct. However the reality is, even if the sound was audiable beforehand, i'f you dont "hear" it before, it may as well not be there at all.

Just purchased my Beyerdynamic DT1350's in Taichung from a very cool shop in my favourite area of Taizhong. They even let you try the high end headphones. Its so nice to have these sort of shops here unlike in Australia where the only thing you can audition is cheap crap.   I have no...

I know there is already a ginormous thread on these headphones but I have a very specific question.   I just got a pair literallly a few hours ago, they are by far the most amazing headphones I have ever heard in my life. The bass is certainly the most clear out of any headphones I have...

Just curious if anyone has any comments about the sound of audio out of their Macbook Pro vs their iPhone. I normally listen to music exclusively from my iPhone 4 using Bose On Ear headphones. I have just discovered that listening from my Macbook Pro seems to be much more pleasing to my ears. I...

Hmm it appears that it is not possible to edit the poll. According to the site I found via google (below), V0 is roughly the equivalent to 245kbs which is the same as the lame "--preset extreme". Perhaps I should just stick with that. I have enough space issues on my iPhone as it is (:  ...

I am going overseas and am about to pack all my CD's away into storage for what will probably be several years.   I am planning to re-rip a bunch of my CD's at higher quality to ensure when I get around to getting even better headphones I am not annoyed at the sound quality.   I am...

Sorry cant answer the actual question, but someone owns a Zune HD? Do they still make those?

  Quote:   This is the Bose store in Melbourne (Australia) CBD.  Everything in Australia is excessively expensive. Partially because equipment such as this has so many taxes on it. I an not up to date with the latest tax info but I believe the tax would be at least 35%    

They are on my shortlist. I have been doing some reading, and I am wondering if the Audio Technica ES55's would be a step up from what I have now?   http://www.head-fi.org/products/audio-technica-ath-es-55   I assume from the price they are not as good.

I have been doing some reading, and I think what I am after are "supra-aural" earphones, so they are not too bulky, as I walk around with these a lot.

I have a pair of Bose On ear headphones which I use daily. After two years of usage, the ear covers need replacing due to the plastic being brittle and breaking. Replacing them will cost $100, compared to the cost of $250 for buying a new pair.   Before I throw more money into these, I am...
