So they should fit the bill for my music pretty well than? And if I do get an amp for it what should I get? 

Thanks for the replies, I only wish it was friday now so I could get the headphones now! Will have to mess with the eq on my rockboxed ipod once i get these cans.

Sorry for the 2 year bump.

A great progressive metal artist is Devin Townsend. He made allot of music and still is, he was the singer for the band he created Strapping Young Lad. Look up the song by him called, Jullar it is amazing, might not be very melodic but it has its times where it is. Its like a heavier dream...

I listen to allot of metal music, right now I'm listening to allot of progressive metal like Gojira, Strapping Young Lad, Devin Townsend Project, Hacride and music like that. But I also listen to all kinds of metal along with that,  I also love dubstep and listen to a little bit of rap. All of...

Because most people think that the ibuds are the best, because they came with the ipod "the best" player. If most people where to listen to a nice set of over the ear open cans, then they would chuck the ibuds and get a pair. But some people also dont care about sound quality, maybe because they...

Quote: Why thank you. Glad I got it to work and thanks to head-fi for giving me the information to free my ipod classic!    

That was surprisingly easy to follow, if you have ever jailbroken an ipod touch you will have no problem at all with Emcore or what ever it was called. Even if you have not jailbroken an i touch, if you can follow instructions you will be able to do this easily.   How do I add music now?

Any others?

Are these cans worth the $150 they are running for on amazon/ebay? or should I wait until the price goes down to $110-$120?

 The Beyerdynamic DT770 pro are a bit out of my price range.

Im mainly going to be using them on my ipod touch and on my laptop. So i might get the amp for my ipod. Dont know yet, might try one out first after i get the cans and see if i can notice a big difference before i buy an amp.

Sorry to bring back an old thread, but I would love to see these mods.

Going to order in a few weeks. Cant wait!

Is it true that these headphones need about 100+ hours of burn in time, or is that not true?

Quote: But can you actually tell a difference when you do run it with an amp or is there almost no reason to use an amp on it?  

Should the ATH-M50's go amped or unamped? Can you tell much of a difference?

Quote: NTY, and the size of the DJ Pros do not bother me, anything about that size would be fine with me.    

Quote: Not necessarily looking for dj headphones, just great sound quality, good bass, and preferably portable. Basically the most bang for the buck headphones for ~$150  

Also I will be using these as everyday portables, will they work great for that or should i choose another pair of headphones. And I mainly listen to heavy metal and dubstep.

I know, I know. Skullcandies are more toys than quality headphones, but I have heard the Skullcandy DJ pros and they are the best headphones I have ever got to listen to ( yes I am new to quality audio). But the SC DJ pros are the only headphones I can compare with. I have watched tons of...
