Decided to get the Shure 440s for $67. Thanks for your help guys! Hopefully I made a good buy.

I mean it's happened to all of my headphones. It has to be me wrapping it around my mp3 tight     Quote:  

But wouldn't squishing them in effect cause more bending of the wires?   Quote:  

I think I'm just going to get the Maxwells. Do you guys know anything about warranty? The website offered 3 months warranty. But shouldn't it come with a factory warranty of like at least 2 years?

should i be worried about the whole open box thing? Quote:  

Oh okay thanks for the help. So basically you're saying that the DT-235 have the best sound but the only downside is comfortability due to its small ear pads?   Quote:  

Is it easy to replace the ear pads? I've never done this before   Quote:  

anyone?

Out of these 4: Maxwell DHP-II Sennheiser HD428 Beyerdynamic DT 235 Koss UR55     Which one would you guys choose based on sound and comfort?  

cant find any websites with that price range. all of them list it as $80 and up   Quote:  

anyone please?

So I made my final list for the headphones I'm getting   Koss UR 55 ($50) Sennheiser HD 205 ($43) Sennheiser HD 238 ($55) Sony MDR XD200 ($23) Philips SHP8500 ($40) Beyerdynamic DT 235 ($55?) Maxell DHP-II ($50) Denon AH-P372W ($45) --> white ones look sick     All of these...

So I've recently shorted out 3 of my headphones and the only reason why I think this is happening is because I wrap the cable around my headphones or mp3 player when I'm not using it. Is this the reason why it's shortening out? Also, if it is the reason, how do you guys store your...

So I just saw a youtube review of the JVC RX700. The thing is humongous. I was about to buy it, but the headphones are way too bulky. I'm looking to walk around listening to music in public. Does anyone want to recommend different headphones?

Any particular reason? And do you think these are any better than the JVCs recommended in the second post?   Quote:  

Would you choose the JVC RX700 over the Phillips SHP2500s? And is JVC a good brand? I've always thought they were the lower quality ones. I have no idea though...j/w   Quote:  

Yeah, those were another pair I was looking at. There are just so many in that price range that look mediocre. I wish an expert would just point to me to the best one at that price range.

What's the difference between the two models? Also, I heard JVCs aren't durable. Are they as reliable (durability and sound quality) as sony and koss?

I will mainly use it for listening to music and studio music recording (Not as important) So far I've looked at: Philips SHP8500 Sony MDR-XD200 Sennheiser HD 202 Philips SHP2500     But after reading a few reviews, all of them have at least one flaw; whether its...
