I listen to everything but mostly rock, alternative, slightly indieish stuff, pop, and singer songwriter acoustic type of stuff.  I want something with a wide, but natural sound stage, impactful, but not overwhelming bass, good vocals, good separation, good isolation, all that stuff.  I narrowed...

My mobile set up is a rockbox 5.5 with shure se215s.  My non mobile set up is shure 840s or phiaton ps500s with an auzentech prelude sound card.  Also dahlquist dq30 speakers that could use a dac but I don't use it a whole lot but anyways.  I listen to mostly rock, alternative, pop, slightly...

Main requirements: very good sound isolation, and really comfortable They are for pop, rock, alternative, and rarely classical.  The source will probably just be a laptop or something.  As for the way they sound, not too bass heavy, and they're not really for an audiophile anyways.  Any ideas?

My music tastes are everything.  I love bass so a lot of that is important, but obviously quality mids/highs are important too.  They will be unamped but if I need one I could always get one later.  So, I was thinking about monster turbines.  Then I also saw something about hippo bvs and...

So today in school some kid was wearing beats by dr dre, and someone was like OMGWTFBBQ! Beats by dr dre!  Then i said they are terrible, and they all looked at me like I was crazy, and told me so too.  Then they told me they're $300 how can they be bad.  Also, they told me I probably have bose...

I currently have a pair of shure 840s, but I just feel kinda silly walking around school with them. I love the sound of them though. I mainly listen to rock. They need to have good/a lot of bass but good mids and highs too. Budget is ~$300. Source is an archos 5 internet tablet with mostly...

I'm a noob at this and I'm building one. I was thinking the ad8397 or opa2228. I know I mighf need a soic to dip adapter. So how would those work in a cmoy? Would I have a hard time getting it stable or whatever? Oh and my headphones are shure 840s. Thanks
