Quote: Twelve years ago I was at my buddy's pool party. He had his 80s collection cranked on some old stereo towers. They caught on fire. True story. Rock and roll really is the music of the devil

There are a few techno songs from the 1990s I would be afraid of playing if I accidentally left the sound up too loud. However, it would be quite unlikely I would be playing them for reasons of personal choice.   But seriously, I would be afraid to play some test tones for subwoofers or for...

Kiop, if you are asking if this is water proof and cold proof I would caution against it. This headphone is designed for studio use, which is typically indoors. As well, the ATH-M50s are hard to find in Canada. They are bigger and maybe too heavy for a girl to wear in public for a long period...

Quote: I don't think so. The 500 & 700 have flat round siding, this one looks like it has some ridges.    

Thanks for sharing your observations GiacomoHoldini. I haven't run out of my first battery yet, so I'll watch for the warning light you are talking about.   You have a good eye if you are asking about my user name.... Bonus points! Yes I'm a Prince fan and was a member of the NPG Music Club...

Quote: Same here.   Quote:   Agreed.   Quote: I have both, but I got the QC15 first as a gift, so I had no choice and would have been happy to just have the ATH-M50...but..... however; have you looked in the mirror while wearing the ATH-M50? The last time I wore a big...

Quote:   You are asking users who have first hand experience with the QC15 to explain their opinions, and that is a reasonable request. Everyone is entitled to an opinion, but people need to be able to explain how they formed their opinion so you know where they are coming from. Hopefully...

Thanks Obobskivich.  That looks like you figured it out!

  Having trouble identifying the two brands here by the logo... any thoughts of what they could be?  

First impression, it wasn't too thrilled even though I like all Paul's albums. Listening to it a few more times it really grew on me. It is not as great as most big band / retro cover albums but still pretty good. Not really anything on it that I've ever heard before. Usually the homage albums...

So I had built some expectations for the ATH-M50s from research and testing other headphones. At this point, I am still burning them in with about five to ten hours of burn in time now.   I tried out a couple studio monitors at some shops with the song Genesis - Man On The Corner on my...

A suggestion would be to add another default heading to the community profile where you can jot down your "preferred test" song that you use to test different headphones to make an objective view of rating different headphones. That way if someone wants some suggestions for good songs to test...

Can anyone offer a comparison of the Shure SRH 940 to Sennheiser HD 380? They seem like apples to apples. Both are in the same price range, both over ear, both designed for studio use. Thanks.

Sorry for bumping. I don't see why a new thread should be started when there is a perfectly good thread to use with no replies. The mods can lock it if that's the policy around here.   I currently use this model, and it would be helpful for me to learn what the difference is between this...

Quote: Shure answers that question here. They claim that the 940 is flatter than the 840   http://shure.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4060/~/srh940-and-srh840-comparison  

     Quote: That is what it looks like to me as well. For me that will make it worth the wait for those to come out instead of going with the 840s. If they get snagged on something you run the risk of permanent damage to your phones, but these look more robust.   Today some official...

They are my second set of ear covering cans that I've had for about five years and I'm now looking to upgrade to something else. I can't really compare them to anything else since I haven't tried anything else other than these so far.    They are quite comfortable on the ears and hold in...
