hi acidx, thx for the suggestions: are the k phones akgs? what is the difference between the 240df and mkII plus aren't the newer ones the akg k242 and k272? i'm leaning toward the akgs as they have a good price/performance ratio in europe at the moment and look really comfy.

i just don't think they sound natural. i've not made my mind up yet. it's just that akgs are really cheap at the moment. i can get a new akg 702 for €220 ($305), but i am a bit worried if my turtle beach audio micro will cope.

i didn't like the sound signature of the 650. dt770 nice bass but sounded muffled overall. the hd280 and hd448 seem to be step down from my old sony 7506 just checked and found a cheap akg k272 55ohm for €130

perhaps i should add that i have owned the hd650 and dt770 and didn't like either

are the hd25-1-ii and the akg k242 rubbish compared to the dt880 32ohm, as the latter is twice as expensive as the former two. i only want to use these to listen to voice podcasts when i'm in bed.

thanks for the suggestion, but wouldn't my mp3 player struggle with 600ohms or do beyer have a version that can be driven by an mp3 player

what model?

hi, i'm looking for some comfortable neutral headphones, that are non-iem based with little clampforce. i have been using a sony 7506 for the last 5 years and liked its tonal character, but want something different due to the cups not being comfortable. (i am not interested in the beyer...

how good do you guys think the sony nwz-b135 is in terms of sound quality? sounds good with my sony mdr-7506. i'm thinking about getting some sennheiser ie8s, will this tiny sony player do them justice? all i want is a tiny 2gb flash player, are the small sony flash players...

can i run an akg 701 off a HeadRoom Total BitHead with good results or is it too weak to drive these cans? i have already got the bithead and have been using it for 2 years with a sony mdr-7506, which isn't a bad combo imho

i've got the sony 7506s, which paul van dyk uses. i believe the consumer version of these cans are the v600s they are pretty good at their price point

how good is the soundquality of the technics dj headphone series, they look stylish enough for use as portable cans. if they are no good then i'm sticking to my 7506

hi, i'm looking for a line-out adpater for my 2nd gen nano, are the standard ones any good soundqualitywise? i.e. sendstation

no takers?

what headphones is paul van dyk wearing in this pic? they are massive and i have never seen them anywhere else before. if anybody knows, i reckon it'll be duggeh, :-)

why don't you just use itunes? there are no differences in the lossless files that itunes and dbpoweramp produce, by using itunes you are asking for less trouble

the rh1 does sound fab, got rid of mine tho as the transfer speeds on sonicstage suck, just ordered the new 8gb nano
