Are you sure they don't sell any on ebay?  Go check the for sale/trading forums, if somebody on headfi is selling theirs, thats where you'll find them. good choice with the 440's btw.    

  Quote: Wait until after the headband loosens up a little. After I've owned mine for about half a year and its all loosened up, I can say it's without a doubt one of the most comfiest headphones I've worn out of the 20-30 that I've demo-ed.

FWIR, the AD700 has a good soundstage. I've seen quite a few people use it for gaming. But I cant vouch for it, I've never heard it before.

Quote: Too true. If only good headphone brands spent some money on marketing, there wouldnt be bankrupt students with monster beats and SC on their heads :\. They would have at least spent their hard-earned money on something worthwhile.

Not unless you don't clean your ears regularly... But over time other stuff like dust and dirt or sand could get in and damage the drivers.

Hi everyone, I'm looking for warm and forward/aggressive noise-isolating IEMs for about $100. I love soundstage and detail (especially in mids/highs), so a good soundstage and detail is also needed. Also, I dont mind replacing the stock silicon earbuds for foamies or whatever for noise isolation...

You're a headphone noob with an EDITION 10?!? Wow, just... wow. I envy you!!

FWIR, I second the 595. It was my second choice to my SRH840.

Quote: Yeah, welcome to head-fi... :\

Does anyone know how the HP700DJ's do in sound quality and isolation? Im guessing the isolation would be good for DJ'ing.

Hmm the 840's aren't really portable though, and the sound isolation is only average.

  Quote: $150 is DEFINITELY WORTH IT for a pair of SRH-840s. Even at the MSRP of $200 people say it is comparable to headphones that cost 2-3x more money.  I've demo-ed at least 15 other 'phones including high-end ones like the K701, K702, Beyer DT990, Ultrasone PRO 900, and IMHO if I...

Getting any of these would DEFINITELY require you to get something more powerful than an E7. If you cheap out on an amp, most high-end headphones will sound worse than $15 headphones. Get a decent amp (I'm talking about $250 minimum) and it will sound amazing.

Hmm it's nice to hear that they are indeed over-ear, and that they're also very comfy and within my budget. I think I might steer towards getting these, but Mad Lust Envy, is it true that the noise isolation from outside is only mediocre? Cos thats the biggest requirement for the 'phones...

Quote: Is it on-ear or over-ear? Different websites have trouble deciding...

Quote: Umm nope, they're in-stock where I live. But I agree, I cant seem to find ANY Klipsch IEM's cos of Christmas...   Thanks for the suggestion, I'll check it out. I thought the D1001s were specifically basshead headphones though?   EDIT: Drat, it's on-ear.

Quote: Yeah I never mentioned pink jecklin floats, its a suggestion... Back on-topic, can't somebody suggest some headphones that fit what I need??

Quote: ....That would probably get me slapped across the face.

Quote: Yes I know... why cant sennheiser, audio-technica, AKG and proper headphone companies make headphones that look really nice, like the phiaton ms400? Just because a set of headphones sound amazing doesnt mean it has to look bad :/

I'll do so now. Thanks for the suggestion!   By the way, I own an SRH840 and some other headphones but if you want to compare something then I am used to my SRH840 as a reference point.

Lol what do you mean? I know I wont be able to find anything that actually looks nice (sorry my beloved headphone manufacturers, but IMO you guys have a bad sense of aesthetics :/) but I just need it to not look horrible basically.   Anyone?? Any suggestions to guide me to the right...

Hey, fellow head-fi'ers, thanks for clicking on this thread to help me! I'm buying some headphones for someone, since she has almost no idea what she wants. These are the requirements (I sorta interviewed her and she managed to tell me a bit about what the headphones need to be)   The...

Quote: If you put it that way, then of course he/she can't be wowed by any headphone at all, since OP is used to live, acoustic performances. No matter how good, a pair of headphones can't compete against the reality of a live orchestra. It's like comparing watching a DVD to a movie at...

I feel really sorry for the oblivious person who started that garage sale and put those up for $25... Someones going to be kill themself when they realise they sold a limited, unique, legendary set of cans for $25.

Yeah dont expect it to take a small amount like 10 listens to break in though, its usually at least 50hours of using the headphone before they start to break in. Good luck with the headphones! Quote:
