I think we all think we're oging to win

I just sit around and listen to my headphones and get a huge smile when I listen to my favorite music through these awesome earpieces of God =P.

Anyone? ;P Just trying to pick up some ideas~ Thanks~!

I think when you are a newbie (that is to say, dont know anything about what good sound sounds like) you make up your own rules, just going by what you know. In today's low grade consumer electronics (that the masses eat willingly) bass really sets apart bad electronics from each other...

I think with a little time you'll find they completely overwhelm your speaker setup in terms of sound quality (if your reference to the 5500 was logitech..)

I come back to head-fi after 5 months and I find out there's a M-Hornet..I'll be looking around other threads for impressions but this paritcular thread's title seemed to fit well : P.

I'm a headphone newbie compared to most people, but I'd like to relate my experience. I dont have any hard data, I am simply a college student who scrapped up enough cash to buy himself an amp and a pair of headphones. Headphones : DT880 (old vers) I came into headphone-listening a firm...

What I really want is an optionally informative interface that allows MAXIMUM freedom (ie whether I can or can't use iTunes or drag and drop..forget the 3rd party workarounds) along with a updateable support for music codecs with a plethora of playback options. Sounds like a bit much but in...

I know you guys are out there! I'd just like to see the impressions of the Hornet from other people in a real, comprehensive form.

Well, since this thread has devolved into a state slightly higher than idiocy, and since Jashugan came out and told us how he really felt about us, I think we can lock this one and let it die.

I can't believe I read 9 pages of this thread. What do we have here? We have someone who wants people to return to the good spirit of Head-fi in the days gone (I don't know about this, I've only been here for a year) and would like to encourage that behavior. But wait - he starts to call into...
