    ATH-W100 recable/redriver help!

    Hi! So I bought a pair of ATH-W100s back in 2002. This was back when I had to find a friend in Japan to buy a pair for me! Anyway.. these are still kicking pretty strong. I've decided to buy a pair of Sennheiser HD25-1-11s for portable/bus use, but I want to keep these as my home listening...

    ATH CKM50s - first impressions

    I'm curious about the CKM70, too.. I'm in need of a new pair of in-ear phones! I used to own a pair of CK7s and loved them, but would rather try something new and the CKM70 is very tempting.. can anyone compare the two?

    Sennheiser CX95 vs Denon AH-C751.. help!

    Hello everyone! It's been a while. Thanks to this great forum I found some of the best headphones I've ever heard (Audio Technica ATH-W100) about 6 years ago. They're still going strong and sounding great! These days I need to find a good in-ear phone, as I'm taking the bus quite a bit and...

    (another) ATH-W100 (micro) review

    Thanks for the comments.. hopefully future limited editions will change the cord? Quality Guru - I've got the W100s plugged into an old McIntosh MX-113 preamp and MC-2125 power amp. They sound great like this, although when the music doesn't have much activity there's more amp noise than I'm...

    (another) ATH-W100 (micro) review

    Thanks to Tomcat, 88sound, solomon etc. (thank you!), I received my W100s today from a friend in Japan. I'm am absolutely blown away. They're comfortable as heck, they effortlessly dance the line between analytical/sterile and colored, and, surprising to me, they exhibit a strange balance...

    What's the deal with Sennheiser HD280?

    My experience with the 280s was *very* similar to yours, USER. I picked up a pair after reading a couple glowing reviews, found them purely unpleasant to listen to, gave them a week for any breaking in that might be necessary, and returned them. I'm going to try a pair of Beyer DT770s next..

    Please help with purchase!!

    Ok guys, I'll give these things until Monday to change my mind. Does a burn in really make that much of a difference? I guess we'll see! Thanks for your help. If I just flat don't like these, any other opinions other than the 250-80s? Take care..

    Please help with purchase!!

    Ok guys, I currently own a pair of Sony MDR-V700s, and I enjoy their sound... the thing is I can't wear them for very long.. maybe it's the super bass they present, or the way they fit.. I can't really tell, but they hurt my ears and my brain. On some reading, yesterday I went and picked up...
