I think it's unprofessional. I don't see why I'd ever deal with a company that, when this issue is brought to their attention, refuses to fix it.

I recommend being poor. As a highschool student, budget controls my impulse. After a summer of profitable poker playing, I was able to afford a pair of used A900's. Sweet!!! Next summer, I'll play poker for a CMOY. Also make sure you play with friends who won't accept your headphones as a...

How about something that would be beneficial to the community? For example, what about writing a short post on advice you wish you had received in your first Head-Fi thread, or before purchasing your headphones? What advice would you share with a newcomer? ( "Welcome to head-fi, sorry about...

I recently got injuried running and now work out at the Y with my Shure E2c's. . . The first time I used my preferred, foam sleeves. That was a really good idea, until afterwards, when they were so wet and absorbed that they didn't act like foam anymore! It took days for them to get back...

All of the suggested headphones sound like great choices - I am a high school student and have owned a pair of KSC-35's, Shure E2c's, and now Audio Technica A-900's (way out of your budget). If you want a pair of headphones now, I'd say get the KSC-35's for $20. Value-wise, that's unbeatable...

So far I've owned two relatively low-end headphones that get good value reviews here: the KSC-35's (about $30) and the Shure E2c (about $55). I just bought a pair of AT A900's ($200 new, but I got them used), but haven't gotten/listened to them yet. The KSC-35's sound like they leak too much for...

Drink more water and less caffeine. A cheap solution to many headaches.

I talked to you on AIM tonight. I'll take a pair of small and medium.

In defense of your response, to me it sounds like a couple of dorm-room acquaintances in a argument where formalities and tact are neither needed nor desirable. Here's where you might be wrong, though: If you have never listened to the Bose headphones, they might sound better than yours...

Anyone have iPod EQ tips? I use the "Latin" setting.

I'm in High School and I have owned both a KSC-35 and now a pair of Shure E2c. I bought the latter planning on not upgrading until I graduate at the least (in a year and a half) and perhaps longer. So far, they have suited me very well. They have a big jump in sound-quality, especially...

For some reason, perhaps it is the fact I am a high-schooler with a limited budget, or because I have an iPod and no interest in an amp, or maybe it is just my character - I'm totally fine with my Shure E2c's. They will be my headphones until I graduate.

If you are willing to go up to $60, you can probably find a low-end pair of Shure E2c. Check out a few price comparission websites.

Thanks for the answers. A lot. And interesting replies, because no one has come out for the MS-1's yet. Oh well, I'll be patient with my decision process. To address some stuff though: 1. Amp-wise, wouldn't that severly cut down on the portability? I just have serious misgivings about an...

I've decided that I'm going to make a major headphone purchase, which, for my 16 year-old budget, means about $100. The most important aspect in my purchase is that it be easy to drive, seeing as how I will be using it with an unamped iPod. Second is, of course, sound quality; I listen to...

In my last thread (oh about 2 months ago - props: http://www5.head-fi.org/forums/showthread.php?t=89438) I was basically told that there is probably a problem in my headphone plug. I was kindly given a link to a place to buy a Neutrik plug...

For pads, I just went to Radioshack and picked out what I thought might fit. And the vaccum I used is a tiny one, intended for keyboards, actually (I believe). It hardly creates any vaccum at all.

Is than an easy or hard process?
