1 person to ask what they will be plugging it into 1 person to recommend one of the 4 headphones they go into every thread and recommend, even if it's not a good choice based on what the person was asking for

Mental burn in here, just saying hi.

Dieing to play FM3 but for a few various reasons I haven't been able to get my hands on it. Sucks man.

SZS detected in this thread. I approve.

Disregard the library folk and get the AD700 anyway. They are fantastic. You can probably use them without people hearing them as long as you keep them turned down. Since there isn't much noise in the library you don't have to turn it up much in the first place, so it would probably work...

I remember back when the RS2/1 were the top recommendation for headphones without an amp, what happened to that? Like people have said, the RS2 would probably fit your musical tastes quite well, even though it misses your sound preferences (flat neutral sound) by quite a bit. The only other...

7-3? I don't remember any game ending with a score of 7-3.

You know, I've seen threads locked for less griping then boomana has been doing in this thread.

JH-13 PRO here, being better value for money for portable headphones.

Sucks for you lot I don't have to smell any of this.

Music stays Not like I get any sex in the first place but I still take music over it.

Shures, easily.

If you don't like the D1001 then I doubt you will like the Q40s. They seemed to lack some mids and definitely had overbass. That's why I sold mine. The HD595s, IIRC, would really need an amp to shine. The HD448s don't get mentioned much around here, and although there are exceptions that...

Best way to find out the price is to try and find one for sale in the FS section, or if you are lucky one that sold and they left the price there. That's the one thing that ticks me off about removing the prices, hard to see how much they are going for. That said from not looking anything up...

I bent the headband on my Q40s to relieve some of the cramp, but the pads are still just a bit shallow to match the comfort of the DT770s. I never spent enough time with the DT770s to make any comparisons on SQ though. God those Q40s had bass.

Whoa walls of text. Yeah foobar is p.cool. It does like to throw a fit if you mess with it's outputs though. If my DAC comes unplugged I have to restart the whole program. Shame. Windows is p.cool as well. I never really saw the need for 7 over XP when I used it, so I am still using XP.

If you are not going portable then definitely get a dedicated CD player. I have some old DVD player and it sounds fantastic. Shame I don't use it more often.

The little bits at the top can be bent plenty. Mine were a bit loose so I made the bands into a bit more of a V shape. Helps a good bit. They are still loose compared to other phones, but that makes them great for long listening sessions. I could have these on all day without problems. I also...

I'd say it's a good idea. Then we have an excuse to restart all those threads that had 10k+ replies. "It's not for the post count, rep is more important!"
