I would go to a pittsburgh meetup if it I have time to request the day off.

I personally use Foobar2000 for my desktop playback and I've been surfing the website hdtracks.com to find some 96/24 bit recordings (which you could always downsample to 44/16 cd quality if you wanted to put them on a mobile device). You can also just go to an online retailer and pick up hard...

Suggestions generally demand that you give us your price range for the purchase and your musical preference (for more experienced members they usually just describe exactly what sound signature they want from their headphones).   I had the klipch s4 for a while and they had killer bass for...

I owned the pros before I got to this website. From my recollection I liked them because of the bass quantity. Were they good for the price? I feel like my denon 2000s stack up well with what I remember of the pros. Sadly I don't have them to lend as I returned them a long time ago.   Best...

I don't suggest trying to convince people that whatever you get is better than what they have. They will deny it all the way until the day you give them the superior headphones for free.

I managed to get my Denon ah D2000 for 230$ and they sound great straight out of my ipod touch 4th gen. Worth looking into.

To add to my comment, these do not fall out, very easy to get put in. Plug 'n play if you will. If you're willing to go over budget I would seriously look into these.

I got a pair of klipch s4s for 60 shipped. They sound amazing for the pricetag. Excellent bass, moderate mids. Top notch for 60 $ (rock/electronic)

Quote: The 840s are great cans, but have little wow factor to me. So much so that I bought another pair within a month of having them. Now I have 2 great cans! It's a win-win right?

I've found that most descriptions of headphones 'round these parts are usually meant to exaggerate differences that are initially hard to hear. I have the 840s and I thought they sounded "smooth." Everything seemed to be in the music, but nothing was "fun."     It looks like the 780s are...

Quote: Those look terrible. Where's your skullcrushers bro?  

If you spend 300$ on headphones I would stay away from the bose QC. They isolate really well but the sound doesn't stack up to my denons.   Also I have the srh 840s if there's anything you want to know about them. Everything sounds pretty good, very neutral imo. That can be good or bad...

I have some 4,500 songs. I don't even know what all the artists are anymore (considering I only ever listen to maybe 200-300 at a time).   I am really enjoying DnB, Break Beats, and Trance of late. I love me some good metal/ hard rock. I don't like heavy metal as much (modern HM).   I do...

More of the same? Don't most fanboys (of any band, not just Dream Theater) hate it when the band changes it up? I can't imagine they would put out a single from an album if it was off the beaten path. What I'm trying to say is don't judge the album until you hear it.

The 192 is just high enough that nothing sounds bad. It's much better than the standard quality pandora (which is horrible on super low-fi gear let alone higher end equipment). It's the only internet radio I use; but I enjoy it, so why change a good thing?   I use it all the time to hear new...

Quote: If you save up I hear the denon 1001 have great bass (very "fun"). I think they sell for around 100 USD but they seem to be out of stock at Amazon right now. =\

Where do you find people to lend you all these great cans? I sure wish more head-fiers lived near me.   I'll sit quietly in the corner with my ah d2000. :)

Quote: You have to drop hints that you have speakers of unspeakable quality somewhere. If you talk up your own speakers eventually they will ask what they are (be ready with an overly scientific description so they are impressed). Hopefully they ask something like "Wow, how much would...

  Quote:   Can you recommend anything else in the 10-20$ price range that sounds good out of a 1000$ amp? I have a low budget.      

I put my 840s on, and even though I never had a problem with comfort, I can tell that the tips of my ears are touching the drivers a bit. It's not enough to hurt my ears, but everyone's different and it might bug you. The pads isolate *very* well and the sound is very smooth. Couldn't tell you...

Quote: I don't own the 440s. I took a rough estimate of the "deepness" of my 840 pads so you could look at your 440 pads and tell if they might be deeper. IMO looking at them I don't think/know if the 840 pads will get your ears off the driver.

Quote: I've heard 65% of the names in your list and I still like Slipknot. Not my favorite band; but they make my playlists.  

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRbBhfG4tig&feature=related     I saw that video in another thread and thought it would be funny.   I let a coworker hear my shure 840s and he was like "hmmm, nice." Rocking his head and listening intently. Then I let him try my new denon ah d2000 and he...

Quote:   The pads are maybe 3/4 inches deep on my 840s. They compress a bit when you put them on.

*looks around*   I have shure srh 840s. They sound good. I got them for 126 shipped. Check out some reviews for those maybe? I liked them (and they have great mids). They are not portable unless you can totally ignore a big weight on your head (I totally can, most I hear cannot). They are...
