Panasonic RP-HTF600 or Panasonic RP-HTX7 or Philips CitiScape Downtown For Girlfriend?
Price differences are not an issue, I can get them all for $30. Just a small christmas present for my girlfriend. I'm leaning towards the Panasonic 600's as i feel they would probably have the best sound quality, but I've never heard any of these headphones. Suggestions needed :]- Xaborus

Yamaha getting ignored? The Grado Killer: HPH-200
I came across the HPH-200's today online. I instantly thought of Grados. Spontaneously i searched head-fi for reviews and only found one thread, in which a few members bought them and said they sound better than the Grado 60's, 80's, and 125's. Why aren't these more popular? I'm thinking...- Xaborus

I Don't Understand You Subjective Guys
Why would anyone buy a $1000 DAC when the $150 ODAC performs just as good in blind testing as a DAC1? Sometimes i think most of you guys are just buying an expensive placebo effect.. just like $1000 Cables. Edit: Please note- I'm not trolling. Explanation of my viewpoints on the second page.- Xaborus

$20 Budget For Bassy IEM
Hello all! While i already have a pair of DT990's, I'm on a tight budget right now for a portable canalphone or clip on. I personally like deep, extended, bass with lots of impact. For reference, i find the DT990's treble a bit too sharp. Thanks all!- Xaborus
