No story here; sorry for getting your hopes up.   I just wanted to mention that the last sentence really did it for me. I was laughing for a minute straight.     Quote:  

I'm trying to decide between these two, and, strangely enough, I can't seem to find any full-featured comparisons! They're in the same relative price range, and are both known for detailed bass, so I'm surprised that I can't find anything. Maybe my searching skills are bad?   Does anybody...

You guys define "objective" differently. No need to get angry over that. People can and will disagree with you, SennheiserHD. That's not a bad thing; imagine a world where everybody thought the same way you did. You'd all commit suicide from the boredom! There's no need to get angry or...

M50s have a silver ring on the cups.  I don't see a silver ring in that picture.   ...of course, it could just be the angle.

I'm considering pulling the trigger on a pair of headphones, only the person selling them says that one ear sounds quieter than the other.   Is it possible to balance this out via software? How well does that work? Do unmatched volume levels point toward a malfunctioning driver?   in...

I own the HA-RX900s. They sound good, but they're big, silly looking, and creak a little bit. They're very comfy, and have nice bass (not too much, but enough. It's big and resonant and pretty deep, but it doesn't have all that much impact IMO). The midrange is so-so to my admittedly...

Quote: Quick OT correction here: Linux (and Mac OS X, for that matter) can't run EXE files natively. The EXE format is native and endemic to Windows. Linux uses an entirely different system for executable content. It's like headphones and IEMs; You'd need to do some modding you can...

f you're okay with looking like this, I don't see how the XB500 would be a problem.

Quote: I personally liked the Beats better. The aviators didn't isolate well and sounded kind of boring to me. I liked the V-MODA Crossfades better than both of those, though.

Quote: This is because when people ask for help, they usually really mean "give me a couple suggestions --- point me in the right direction." They want to make the actual decision-making themselves (even if others are better at it). It makes them feel happier that way.

This would fit better in the Headphones (Full-Size) forum.   On topic: They look beautiful, I hope they sound the same way.

Quote: Some people look for knockers. This guy looks for cans.

Quote: Man, that's terrible! Who would've thought such travesties still occur in everyday life.  Our support is with you.

Quote: I think he was commenting on the Crossfades' superior build quality and value.   Also, I wouldn't call V-MODA an "esoteric unknown" brand; Apply now carries Crossfades in its stores, alongside the likes of the Beats and B&W P5.

I remember having good times with those $12 Philips sport headphones back in 2007. It's been a while, though, so I'm not sure how they sounded. They look like that.   It would also help if you could tell us what you want to use the headphones for, the type of music you listen to, and...

Ah, well. I guess my terror was unfounded. Pardon this newbie's folly!   ...But I still think they could've done a better job without raising the cost of the headphones.

I was doing some miscellaneous research today and came upon something very frightening.   Fostex is the company that manufactures Apple earbuds.   That's right.  The same company that makes  also makes  Discuss.   Source: http://bindapple.com/ipod-music/ (via...

  One look at the JVC HA-RX series and anybody can understand why you need different headphones for outside use.   (That's not my picture, BTW)

  Quote: I am assuming that alcohol distorts everyone's perception of reality to some degree. How it does or how severe the effect was not discussed. Some people get buzzed from alcohol, and some people just feel sleepy. Different drinks can make you feel different things. That's all...

Quote: This is off-topic, but I can't resist replying. I make games.  

My view is rather uncommon, but I believe that human beings need nothing to distort their perception of reality worse than it already is. I think that, in time, things like tobacco and alcohol ought to be made illegal as well.   That said, I do realize that it would be almost impossible to...

Er... Ahem. This thread is approaching its 1-year anniversary. I don't think it appreciates being called back from the vestiges of the archives.
