Quote:   Haha very nice description. You must have some psychic insight into my dating preferences as well  You've got me more than interested in trying out a pair of HD600s.

bump. I have similar feelings about my K601s, looking to maybe get something new that's a little more intimate and not so analytical

  I did alot of reading and lurking a few years ago and finally decided to buy a pair of AKG K601's. It appears that they've now been discontinued, which is a shame because they're a pretty good set of cans, but nonetheless I have been thinking of buying another pair of cans.   I like the...

I was looking online, and it doesn't seem like Heed sells the Canamp straight from their website. They had an email and a website for the U.S. distributor. If I were interested would I have to buy it through this "distributor" or are there other places to buy them (other than on head-fi of course).

I've probably had my K601's about a year now (my first audiophile headphones, might I add) and while I'm pretty happy with them, it's always been bugging me how they are pretty lacking as far as bass. I'm sure others would agree that it's pretty detailed bass, but it lacks in quantity...

Quote: P.S.: I hope you're Rockboxing it. I thought about it, but is it really worth it? I converted all of my FLAC to Apple Lossless and already moved it all onto my iPod, so would there be any real advantages to loading rockbox? EDIT: Just found out Rockbox doesn't support the...

I've been doing some reading about the Atrio M5... would this better suit my tastes? Sounds like a warm canalphone that isn't terribly hard to drive at a pretty good price. Can anyone attest to this?

First off, thank you for the detailed response. From what I had already read, I had gotten the impression that they were a pretty detailed can, but this confirms it and seeing as a great deal of my music is downloaded and unfortunately mp3, it looks like I may have to look elsewhere. However, I...

So I haven't had an mp3 player in about five years. Just got a new iPod Classic 160GB for xmas and I'm really not sure about what to do for a pair of IEM's. Usually I listen to music through my MacBook with a pair of K601's through a Travagan's White amp/DAC. Just so we're all aware, I know...

Just wondering if anyone can give me some insight into how these two sound and how they differ unamped. I currently have a pair of K601's and a Travagan's White, but I'd like to get a pair of cans I can use on the go with my laptop, often unamped (so not exactly "portable" per-say). I'll be...

Just finished "Invisible Monsters" by Chuck Palahnuik. He's probably my favorite author and the fourth book I've read by him. Enjoyed it, but not quite as much as "Survivor" or "Fight Club."

I'm going to be going away this week, and I want to leave my amp and headphones to burn in while I'm gone. Since I'll be gone for 5 or 6 days, is it a bad idea to leave my class A amp running continuously for that whole time?

The only one I can really give you a definitive answer for is class A. To my simple, limited understanding, class A amps run an electrical current at 100% power through the entire circuit as long as the amp is on. So if you have the amp on and no music is playing, it will use just as much...

Just curious, are there any more expensive ones worth getting, say in the $25 ballpark?

I'm going purely on information that I've read, but the DT770's are supposed to have alot of bass, which could be good for gaming and for music (depending on your musical preferences).

Neither. Look into brands like Grado, Sennheiser, AKG, and Audio Technica for starters. One of them is bound to have something in your price range that could fit your preferences. There are also the Shure closed headphones if closed cans are what you're looking for.

You sir, need to find something better to do with your time because you are a waste of bandwidth. Chances are if you bought $15 cans from Best Buy, they aren't that great. http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/who...-world-426753/
