I'm considering investing in a high end pair of headphones. is the hd650 better than the akg k701? i assume it is because of the additional ~$150, but i'm not positive. if so, is it worth spending an extra $150 for them?i would be using these mainly for my computer, running out of a SB audigy2...

logitech z2300 klipsch promedia 2.1 i can't decide which speaker system to get. these will be for listening to mp3s on my computer. both are about the same price on amazon. i listen primarily to rock/metal. the klipsch seems more powerful, but they also dont have a wired remote and so...

i finally ordered these and they got here today. so great... the sound is a LOT more crisp and trebly than i thought. the bass is good too. i won't lie... i think they might sound better than my hd555s. how can this be? hahaha

i'm about to order the Logitech Z-5300e 5.1 speakers. upgrading from creative inspire t5400 speakers. $200 speakers for almost half the price sounds good to me... I primarily listen to mp3s/music on my computer (mainly metal, but some ambient stuff here and there), and a little gaming (just...

my friend can either get a FREE pair of bose QuietComfort 3 headphones, or he can choose any pair $150 or below. i've heard bad things about bose, so i told him to wait. but free $350 headphones, i'm not sure... he wants something that's relatively portable " as long as they can press down hard...

I am looking to get a portable set of headphones, non IEM/earbud. I need something that is portable but yet still be able to hear outside sound, without it falling off all the time (stupid earbuds). I know I’ll use them during snowboarding this winter, so I’m going to be wearing a beanie over...

ok so i got my bithead yesterday. pretty dissapointed, but im still testing it out http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...86#post2526686 anyways, right now i'm testing it on my portable. i think i am noticing a difference... but, i need to switch it as fast as possible between having the...

NO SOUND DIFFERENCE maybe i'm just not an audiophile? i seriously can't tell the difference between the amp on and not having one. it works, but for $200 i would think there would be a large noticable difference? am i doing something wrong? i hooked it up via usb, and tryed it on my ipod...

Ok, so i made this other thread http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showt...24#post2509824 on suggestions for amps around $100. these were most of the ones mentioned. - PA2V2 - cmoy - Little Dot II - go-vibe with elpac - Corda HeadFive (probably too expensive) - original master (again...

Hi, i'm thinking about going down to look at headphone amplifiers. problem is, the only brand i've heard of is headroom (are the total bitheads good/worth the money?). What are some brands/models i should keep an eye out for? i have a pair of sennheiser hd 555s and etymotic er-6i. thanks...

is this kind of what crossfeed is like? i might be looking into buying an amp (total bithead?) and the crossfeed feature sounds interesting. i might already have it though... Quote: "Going beyond ordinary stereo playback is Creative's Multi Speaker Surround 3D technology option (also...

WOW. the noise isolation is amazing as far as the sound: satisfied with the bass, and that was one of my worries. however, its not as clear/trebly as i though it'd be. i just need to get used to them though. thanks for the help with my thread before

can't decide which one to get. one question i have is if there is any difference between the er-6 and the er-6i. and which one offers more sound isolation? any other comments would be helpful

I'm looking to get a pair of headphones for traveling, and maybe the occasional bike ride/snowboarding (the last two arn't really a big deal though). I want something with really good noise isolation. i don't need top notch sound quality, sticking at $100 or under. right now for traveling i use...

sorry if this is a bit unrelated. will sleeping with headphones on (laying down on your side) risk bending/snapping headphones? any other problems? i got my senn hd555s today and i rested my head on a pillow, and it was not uncomfortable at all. this will be great for when i want to listen to...

hey everyone, i'm on the brink of buying a pair of sennheiser hd555's. however it's been brought to my attention that the grado sr60's are an alternative. i've read this thread http://www6.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=145492 and i'm still not sure. I mainly listen to rock/metal (...
