yeah, I already tried searching couldn't find anything useful...

Hello everyone, I am looking to find a good USB soundcard solution for my laptop at college. I use 2 Selah Audio speakers (SA-1) with a Parasound amp. I was wanted to stop using the onboard sound from my HP laptop and use something a little better. I was thinking about getting maybe the "EMU...

yeah these cans definitely sound better with a few months of burn-in but i think im going to keep using them until they cannot be used any longer

i can still use it fine and it still sounds good but i just sometimes need to tuck the foam pad back inside the pleather casing since its exposed....

Check out some pictures of my HD280Pros after 2 years of use....these phones have such ****ty plastic and terrible ear pads everything is literally falling apart... anyone know where I can get some replacement earpads?

how about on the topic of laptop sound quality?

hello i am going away to college soon and don't wanna have to lug my desktop with me, unless i have no choice. I will be buying a laptop in a few weeks and want to know if the soundcards that creative produces (doesn't nessesarily have to be creative since i will not be doing any gaming on the...

i would have gone with the IM 716's instead, their a bit more pricey but much better than those cheap $10 toys

has anyone here personally owned both sa5k and d2000 and can provide some insight as to isolation and sq unamped?

their not going to be driven from a laptop, the cans will be used solely on the prelude + PC. The HD280 pros were very unconfortable so i want something that is very light and easy on the ears...with that said isolation is important in some regard because I will be in a dorm and it would be nice...

i don't really know the difference between open and closed in the sense of audio qualities...i mean closed is better imo but open is fine too

Hello everyone, I will be moving off to college in a few months and need to get some new headphones. I've had the HD280 pros for 2 years now and loved them but unfortionately they are falling apart. The headband plastic is coming off day by day and the pleather earpads are pretty much...

how will a soundcard drive these? (audigy 2 value card) if nessesary i might upgrade to the newer xfi model...

I am a gamer so i use my headphones for longer periods of time than do other people. It isnt that i dont take care of them, its the fact that they just fall apart on their own. BTW i take great care of my items.

its definitely build quality. the hd280s fall apart over time, first i had the peices on the headband start breaking, then slowly but surely the pleather started to wear.

I have had these for awhile...about as long as the thread starter. I wear these everday for about 2-6 hrs. They look pretty bad but work fine...

hey vexed, try getting on aim once in a while noob. btw that player looks nice

im actually looking for something smaller than the zoom h2, it seems like it would get the job done but too bulky for my taste

I am looking for a high quality digital voice recorder. I will be using it for class so something that is small, compact, and light is a must. I checked out some of the ones from olympus but I want to see if anyone on here has owned or currently has one they recommend. things i am looking...
