also, what about the px100? how do you think it compares to the hd 228's? I heard a px 100 today and i thought it sounded excellent (loved the bass one it), but I can't find it anywhere fore $35 (the price listed as street price in your review). It is $70 on amazon vs. $30 for the hd 218...

Quote: the Meelec HT-21 looks a pretty good buy for me, they seem to be bassy, and they look really stylish! If the "sometime before xmas" release date is true, i wont mind waiting on them, so i guess i'll pull the trigger on those as soon as they come out.   Also, beside the...

Why do you think the HD 218/228 is useless on public transport? Do they not isolate well enough? What about JVC flats btw? do they have a dark sound? I will consider the HA-S700

I have considered the portapro, but I want a closed headphone b/c I'll be using it to commute and don't want to bother others around me etc; I'm around the 30-50$ price range, so thats why i was looking at the FC700 and HD 218

I am looking for a headphone I can wear on a train/bus commute that is bassy and great coming out of an ipod. I have an MDR V6 and I find it waay too bright on the treble. Durability is also a big factor (I have read some comments about the HD 218 breaking easily, does anyone know if this is...

anyone else know where I can find these for around 100$?

I saw on the portable headphone review thread that the "street" price for these were $70, but on amazon they are $250?! Is there any online store where I can get them for 70?

Does anyone have any experience with shipping to canada from J&R? How much tax/duties did you have to pay and how much shipping and how long did it take for you to get the package?

Quote: Ok, I will try these pads. However, it seems to be the black cloth material on the inside of the cups that are bothering, not the cups themselves. Are these cups thicker than the stock ones, so as to make the cups fit all the way over my ears without touching?

Hi, I've had my v6 for a while, and i'm very satisfied with its performance. however, i've been having some comfort issues with my ear cartilige pressing against the cloth material in the earpads. This makes a "hot" ear feeling after a while, and I was wondering if there is any mod possible to...

I already have sony mdr v6's for desktop use, but i want something more portable for use with my ipod/etc. I am looking at hd 218/228/238, but what are the difference between these 3 headphones? i know the 238 is open but other than that they look the same to me. i'm also looking at the...

anyone?

i love how my v6's sound on my laptop, but when i play them on my ipod they sound TERRIBLE. at first i thought it was the equalizer settings but i played around them and it still sounds bad on my ipod... the sound has no bass and it sounds washed out like $10 earbuds... anyone else have this...

i listen to rock/mainstream mainly. my budget is around the ~120$ range, but im in canada so everything is around 25% more expensive. I'm not gonna be listening to FLAC files or anything, just general computer use, but I want something better than crappy $20 headphones.

Hi, I'm looking for some durable, decent sounding headphones at the lowest possible price. I'm fedup of stupid skullcandy earbuds breaking every 3 months, so I want something that will last. I'm debating between the skullcandy hesh, sony mdr v6, sennheiser hd 280/555, and any other suggestions...
