Yes...I'm a big Trail of Dead fan. I think Madonna is still my favorite but I've enjoyed them all except for Worlds Apart which was mostly a disappointment.   Quote: I didn't care for the Puscifer project at first, but Conditions of My Parole really impressed me. Maybe it was the better...

Quote: I could not tell a sound difference when I put on 770 velours.

Quote: This album is very good, I discovered it about a month ago after the local indie station played a track. Along those lines, if you like that album I would really recommend the s/t debut from Django Django, also a British band. The albums don't necessarily sound alike, but they go...

Thanks, looking forward to hearing them!

Quote: A great one, I saw them on that tour. I hardly ever (ok never) listen to them anymore though.   Nice username! 

Quote: Yes, they'll probably both end up in my top 10 for 2012.

Quote:   If you like Radiohead and Animal Collective, my immediate thoughts were Django Django and Alt-J, both have released great debut albums this year.

Good choices so far. Definitely an awesome year for music, I was 17. My top two hands down were:   Tool - Undertow The Smashing Pumpkins - Siamese Dream   A short list of other greats from 1993 that I didn't hear until a bit later:   Fugazi - In on the Kill Taker A Tribe Called...

I got the 770 VB.

Just discovered this thread...didn't know there was a music forum. Last few days:   The Evens - The Odds (2012)   Alamo Race Track - Unicorn Loves Deer (2011)   Allah-Las - Allah-Las (2012)   Flying Lotus - Until the Quiet Comes (2012)   Mouse on Mars - Autoditacker...

I had the Sennheiser CX300 from 2008 to 2012, they were my first good quality IEMs and I really enjoyed them. At first I remember the bass being pretty muddy and I had to turn my iPod/iPhone EQ to "bass reducer" or whatever it's called, but after burn-in they became much better and I turned off...

Ok I just put the velour pads on...I found a good track with some good bass and first tired one pad, keeping the pleather on my left, but it was difficult to tell a difference trying one ear at a time. So I put both on, and to be honest I can't tell much of a difference at all. I'm no...

Quote:   Quote:   I ordered the black velours and received them Friday, haven't put them on yet. Here's someone else's opinion in another thread:   http://www.head-fi.org/t/633349/beyerdynamic-dt-770-80-vs-custom-one-pros-quick-comparison/45#post_8869815        

Quote:   Haven't tried yet, I received the pads at the office Friday and didn't have time to swap them out, and as these are my office headphones, I won't see them till Monday. But no at the moment my ears don't get sweaty with the pleather pads, but that may change during warmer months...

Quote:   Well that's too bad. I have velour pads on the way and was hoping for good comfort without any sacrifice in sound. Not that the stock pads are uncomfortable, but I thought the velour might stay cooler. Oh well, I'll try them out and see for myself. Thanks for your feedback though!

I've had the COPs a few weeks but purchased an FiiO E11 and line out to use with my iPhone.   The sound has GREATLY improved. First, I'm able to use the lower bass settings (probably one click lower than before) and get the bass I want. The sub-bass that I wasn't really noticing before is...

Quote: No amp at the moment (with iPhone) but I've got an FiiO E11 on order. I was just expecting them to have a bit better bass without an amp, given that they've got bass adjustments.

I'm also looking for a set of these. I had my eye on them at Amazon ($79.75) but it didn't strike me until today that these are no longer in production and the price seems possibly low. They are only available from one seller, not fulfilled by Amazon. I checked eBay and they are all going for...
