I am getting ready to upgrade my sound card from my revo 7.1 anyone interested can buy mine for $65.00 shipped (-: garrett@mi1stormilst.com

Well I prefer closed cans due to the nature of my enviroment (Kids and Wife) I love to play CS and listen to Rhapsody. I am fairly satisfied with the quality of these cans. Sound reproduction is good ... it does miss a little in the BASS department but they are pretty well balanced otherwise. I...

Well once i get them in I am gonna look around for a nice mic and graft it in... I assume I will need a special cable? Quote: Originally Posted by Dixie Flatline Ah -- didn't notice the price differential. Probably a matter of the intended market, since the HMD 280 sounds like...

)-: Very depressing I am okay with doing the MOD...however does anyone know what the parts would actually cost or where I could get them? I can't believe the MIC needs amplification )-: Looks like i will be running with a seperate MIC for awhile )-: I will check out the CANS...if i am happy I am...

I suppose I could but wouldnt that be the easy way? Besides I got the HD280 for $89.00 surely the MIC is not worth $150.00? Quote: Originally Posted by Dixie Flatline Depending on where you are (in the US?), couldn't you just return the HD280's for a refund when they arrive, and buy...

After doing months of research I finally decided that the best headphones for MY purposes are the Senn HD280 Pros. Now I don't want to hear a million and a half reasons why I should have purchased something else. I simply need help in resolving a problem that came to light 10 minutes after the...

If I can find someone selling one of these items used I am going to grab them up been reading some good stuff about them. Primary application is going to be on my PC. I have an nVidia soundstorm audio card and need some better cans for music and games. Currently I am using some $40.00 AWIA's...

Quote: Originally Posted by raif i think the a900 is for you. They offer reasonable isolation, are very clean and crisp,(for the price) and have a very even spectrum of sound. Most closed headphones tend to have one glaring flaw that, if not your cup of tea, can ruin the whole...

Well balanced, clean and crisp, not really rumbly bass but deep. I like techno, jazz, classical.

So I gather that the Sennheiser HD 280 Pro are good for closed cans? But the Grado's would produce better sound quality? Or should go with Beyerdynamic DT 250-80.

What all do you think of these? http://www.sunpowerusa.com/pihddjhe.html

Okay I am looking to grab some very nice noise canceling headphones that don't exceed my $150.00 budget. I have looked around and darn those Grado SR60's sound nice but open air is not conducive to gaming. I am sorry if this is an anti-audiophile or noobish question. Are the sennheiser and...
