One of my favorite music listening experiences of all time was walking at night in a light rain listening to Kid A with my HD 580s. I don't have alot of experience, but wow.

I use the Echo Layla in my homestudio and really love it, I would recommend Echo's products to be considered. Edit: Might check out http://www5.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=29052

I'm with phlippy. But I think Linkin Parks music is very trite at this point, the whole numetal thing or what not isnt up my alley. But even though i dont like the music i will agree that some sampling and DJ work on the latest album is superb and the only reason i give them any credit as a...

What were those silver HD280s?

But that interconnect with 2 wires is going be for a TR (unbalanced) plug right? A TRS plug would take 3 i believe. And I might make one end of the cables having XLR for ease of use. But what I'm asking really is should I use it for things like that or speaker cable? I would like to make sure I...

25-50 ft would be fine Edit: To make sure I know what I'm getting into: what is this gauge etc recommended for? Some say headphones, and I was assuming interconnects, but would these work patch and interconnects in my studio and guitar setup? I'm obviously a newbie, and was going to make...

I'd love to take the spot of someone who hasn't paid yet. PM or email me if it comes to that. Thanks.

might try more like home furnishings for kitchen and bath shops. I've seen them there before, never at a hardware shop.

This is all quite interesting, on a trip once I fell asleep while listening to quite louder levels to drown out exterior noises. Being and MP3 cd I was left listening several hours, and my ears became congested for over a week. Anyone had a similar feeling? Occasionally it'd be in one ear, and...

I personally like the look of the 580 grills. kinda vintage style. But can someone link me to information about replacing the 580 cord? Ive heard about it, but no nothing of the price, advantages, etc. Thanks.

not sure how AUD relates to american, but for $290 you can get HD580s And ety ER6. Thats what I'd do. A good portable canal with tons of isolation and open cans for home. And the 580s are pretty enough to be worn in public as well. Or if like your current earbuds maybe some 280pros. Thatd leave...

i was under the impression that the er6i had the bigger bass...? To make up for iPods lowend "signature sound."

I have yet to burn mine it, for I've only had them for a couple hours. But in my listening, the first thing i noticed was the slightly weak bass. It has gotten better in the few hours though. And now I finally understand why people call sens so uncomfortable. My 580s feel amazing, but these are...

I havent heard much about these phones, I'm guessing they arnt quite ety quality since little hype?

I hope I never end up in a place where i can't listen to more that a couple songs a day. Id go crazy, for sure. My props for the one who hasnt listened in 2 days.

That may be true, but I can at least do mono listening at times. I get very anxious without music for 6 straight hours. Esspecially at a place like my highschool. Thanks for showing me idealsound, free shipping and adapter, and supports headfi.

I own a pair of Behringer Truth studio monitors. May not be exactly what you are looking for, but I really enjoy them.

Summer leaves me listening to music at least 6 hours a day, but often times out of my monitors. Headphones just varies on the time, mood, and if im leaving the house to listen.

Yeah, hats and hoods arnt allowed, so thatd be a problem. Thanks for the link and suggestions. I can't seem to find any er6 photos in ear. Anyone know of some? Also I managed to pull together $100 today, so I will most likely be ordering er6 in the coming week. I will then post photos even if...

I've recently been getting my headphone collection up to speed, trying to get nice headphones to use in all occassions, and I'm now needing some for school and ultimate portability. My main problem is you can't exactly have headphones at school. and I have recently cut my hair, so my old...

But the 550 does sound better than the earlier models correct? I heard that with the firmware update it sounds much better. I'm getting mine in in about 4 hours so I will write up my thoughts.

I just got mine 2 days ago, I'm very very impressed with it, and it is amazingly fast. Whenever i get some sent I'll share the wealth back here. But if you dont want to wait and you are a clever person check out: http://www.gmailswap.com You offer "services" if exchange for an invite, but many...
