Help mimicking macbook pro audio
The onboard dacs on Macbooks pros are miles better than what you might find on a Lenovo or HP (as much as I love my T430, the onboard DAC suckkss) and combined with the exceptional audio software on OSX it creates a pretty damn good listening experience (Which might explain why you also see a DJ...- armink

Solid and neutral-sounding headphones under 100
You should take a look at the ATH-m40x's, they're highly regarded on this site for their value. They also check all your boxes (very solid construction, removable cables and pads, flat, and are 99$ on Amazon.) Definitely looks into these, along with the some of the other options.- armink

Bluedio UFO Plus headphones
Yeah, I would also stay away from headphones that are bass heavy, especially those in the $100 mark. There are very few headphones that can give you deep bass without losing much else, but these typically start in the $500-1000+ price range (Fostex TH900's, He-500's, ETC...) There are other...- armink

Help, pads for DT231 (UK)
Cheapest ones with free shipping, and 'reliable seller' (98.7% Positive Feedback; 177,473 Stars). Shipping will take a while though.- armink

Ultrasone signature pro
You can try stretching them out over a box that's slightly wider than your head for an hour or so. If they're still tight keep them on the box longer or find a slightly wider box. As long as you can put the headphones on and off the box with relative ease, the headphones should be totally fine.- armink

New headphones or AMP/DAC upgrade
If you have no current issues or aren't feeling limited by your current AMP and DAC setup, then you should totally go for those headphones. The impedance on the SR325e's is actually 2-3 ohms lower than the 400i's, so you shouldn't have to worry if you AMP can drive it. And of course, if you...- armink

Best Closed Balanced headphones around $1500
Mr.Speakers makes some of the best closed-back headphones, like the Ether C Flow's (which also come with a 2.5 mm balanced cable option). While I've never personally heard them, I've heard only good things about them.- armink

Sorry for the long wait, I was gone for a bit.. PO stands for Pre-out and BAL stands for Balanced output basically use the balanced output for more power and control.- armink

Recommendation for buds
I've figured out the issue here. It's Internet Explorer/ Microsoft Edge that's doing weird things to links, using chrome/firefox will fix the issue.- armink

New audiphile
Here are the pros and cons of each: FiiO Q1 Mark 2 Pros: Very small form factor, easy to carry around. Sound great! Cons: Might get hotter than the Schiit's because there are no ventilation holes. Might not be as powerful as the Schitt (but you shouldn't be able to tell the difference...- armink

Recommendation for buds
A guess a good place to start is to search "waterproof earbuds w/mic" on Amazon and see what you like. I didn't even know waterproof headphones existed until this post, but I can see how they can be useful. Unfortunately, I don't have any recommendations as I've never owned the pair. But, I did...- armink

Audio Technica ath-m40x advice
Definitely, Cowhide ZMF Oval's are probably the best pads for the M40x's, and not only help with isolation but also improve sound and comfort. The only downside here is that they're thick (very thick) and you would probably look like an idiot if you ever want to take them outside. The...- armink

Because not all good sounding headphones are fun. One person might think it's good and fun, but someone else doesn't. It all comes down to what sound signature you prefer.- armink

Innerfidelity rated the ÆON Flow over the HD800. Is it really better?
I think once you get to a certain price point you can't say that one headphone sounds better than another, it's purely subjective. You can only say that they sound different. Think of headphones as a tool, and different tools accomplish different things. AFO's are better at one thing than the...- armink

HE-500's are full of energy and fun. But the stock cable sucks and the pads could use an upgrade.- armink

How do these sound up against the 500's? I've been on the fence between these two. I've been looking for something more energetic and fun rather than analytical.- armink
